Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of Chinese Patent Application No. CN202210509057.9, filed on May 10, 2022, entitled "A Bluetooth Pairing Anti-interference Control Method and Display Device", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of Bluetooth technology, and in particular to a Bluetooth pairing anti-interference control method and display device. Background Technology

[0003] For display devices that support Bluetooth, once Bluetooth is enabled and its own Bluetooth visibility is enabled, the display device can actively scan for other Bluetooth devices and can be scanned by other Bluetooth devices. The display device can first pair with a Bluetooth device, and after successful pairing, a Bluetooth connection is established, thereby enabling data transmission and communication through the Bluetooth connection between the devices. The Bluetooth devices are not limited to Bluetooth headsets, Bluetooth speakers, etc.

[0004] Based on the Bluetooth protocol configuration, when a display device pairs with a Bluetooth device, the display device will show a first pairing prompt page. For example, after Bluetooth device A scans and detects the display device, it sends a pairing request. The display device then generates and displays the corresponding first pairing prompt page A. First pairing prompt page A includes device information for Bluetooth device A and asks whether the user agrees to pair with Bluetooth device A. By displaying the first pairing prompt page, the user can perform Bluetooth pairing and connection as needed.

[0005] In some application scenarios, such as when the display device is playing a video or a game interface, if a pairing request is received and the corresponding first pairing prompt page is displayed, the first pairing prompt page will inevitably cover the playback interface. In particular, if multiple Bluetooth devices send pairing requests to the display device at the same time, the display device will frequently pop up multiple first pairing prompt pages, which will hinder the user's viewing. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This application provides a Bluetooth pairing anti-interference control method and a display device to solve the problem of interference from the first pairing prompt page to the display device.

[0007] The first aspect provides a display device, comprising: monitor; A communicator used for communication connections with Bluetooth devices; The controller is used to perform: Upon receiving the first pairing request from the first Bluetooth device, query the currently enabled anti-interference mode; If the anti-interference mode is found to be the first mode, and the display device is detected to be in media playback mode, then the first pairing prompt page corresponding to the first pairing request will not be displayed; wherein, the first mode is configured to not display the first pairing prompt page corresponding to the Bluetooth device when a pairing request is received if the display device is in media playback mode.

[0008] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to perform: If the anti-interference mode is found to be the first mode, but the device is detected to be in a non-media playback state, then the permission status of the first Bluetooth device is queried. If the permission status is found to be that the device has pairing prompt permission, then the display is controlled to show the first pairing prompt page, which is generated based on the first pairing request. If the query shows that the permission status is "not having pairing prompt permission", then the first pairing prompt page will not be displayed.

[0009] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to perform: If the anti-interference mode is found to be the second mode, the first pairing prompt page will not be displayed; the second mode is configured to not display the first pairing prompt page corresponding to the Bluetooth device when a pairing request is received.

[0010] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to perform: If the anti-interference mode is found to be the third mode, a first pairing prompt page is generated based on the first pairing request, and the display is controlled to show the first pairing prompt page; the third mode is configured to display the first pairing prompt page corresponding to the Bluetooth device when a pairing request is received.

[0011] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to perform: If the anti-interference mode is found to be the fourth mode, then query the permission status of the first Bluetooth device. If the permission status is found to be that the user has pairing prompt permission, then a first pairing prompt page is generated according to the first pairing request, and the display is controlled to show the first pairing prompt page. If the query shows that the permission status is "not having pairing prompt permission", then the first pairing prompt page will not be displayed; The fourth mode is configured to display a first pairing prompt page corresponding to a Bluetooth device with pairing prompt permissions when a pairing request is received.

[0012] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to perform: When the first pairing prompt page is displayed, the display is controlled to show the device information of the first Bluetooth device, the pairing key, the first pairing control, the first cancel control, and the no permission control on the first pairing prompt page. In response to the operation command of the first pairing control, the Bluetooth module is controlled to perform a pairing operation between the display device and the first Bluetooth device; In response to the operation command of the first cancel control, the pairing operation between the display device and the first Bluetooth device is canceled, and the permission status of the first Bluetooth device is recorded as having pairing prompt permission; In response to the operation command of the unauthorized control, the permission status of the first Bluetooth device is recorded as not having pairing prompt permission.

[0013] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to perform: In response to a display command for the device management page, the device management page is displayed. The device management page includes device information of the device to be paired, and the device to be paired has a mapping relationship with a permission switch used to indicate the permission status. In response to the operation command to switch the permission switch of the second Bluetooth device in the device management page to the off state, the permission status of the second Bluetooth device is recorded as not having pairing prompt permission; Alternatively, in response to an operation command to switch the permission switch of the third Bluetooth device in the device management page to the on state, the permission status of the third Bluetooth device is recorded as having pairing prompt permission.

[0014] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to perform: In response to the display command of the mode settings page, the mode settings page is displayed, which includes the first mode and other preset anti-interference modes; In response to the selection of a target anti-interference mode in the mode settings page, the target anti-interference mode is set to the currently enabled anti-interference mode.

[0015] In some embodiments, the controller is also configured to perform: Scan for a fourth Bluetooth device that is not paired with the display device; The control display shows a second pairing prompt page, which includes the device information of the fourth Bluetooth device, a pairing key, a second pairing control, and a second cancel control. In response to the operation command of the second pairing control, a second pairing request is sent to the fourth Bluetooth device; wherein the second pairing request is used to request pairing with the fourth Bluetooth device; In response to the operation command of the second cancel control, the second pairing request is not sent to the fourth Bluetooth device.

[0016] A second aspect provides a Bluetooth pairing anti-interference control method in a display device, the method comprising: Upon receiving the first pairing request from a Bluetooth device, query the currently enabled anti-interference mode; If the anti-interference mode is found to be the first mode and the display device is detected to be in media playback mode, the first pairing prompt page corresponding to the first pairing request will not be displayed; wherein, the first mode is configured to not display the first pairing prompt page if the display device is in media playback mode when a pairing request is received.

[0017] Other embodiments of the second aspect are adaptable to the first aspect described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0018] This application provides a solution to prevent interference from pairing prompt pages in Bluetooth device pairing scenarios. The display device can preset multiple anti-interference modes, including at least a first mode. The first mode refers to a mode where, upon receiving a pairing request, if the display device detects that it is currently playing media, it will prevent the display of the first pairing prompt page generated based on the pairing request sent by the Bluetooth device. If the display device is currently using the first anti-interference mode, it will not display the first pairing prompt page when receiving pairing requests from one or more Bluetooth devices, thus ensuring that media playback is not interfered with. This application can improve the anti-interference capability of the display device in Bluetooth pairing scenarios, avoid the influence of the first pairing prompt page on any playback screen, and improve the user viewing experience.

[0020] To make the objectives and implementation methods of this application clearer, the exemplary implementation methods of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the exemplary embodiments of this application. Obviously, the exemplary embodiments described are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0021] It should be noted that the brief descriptions of terms in this application are only for the convenience of understanding the embodiments described below, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this application. Unless otherwise stated, these terms should be understood in their ordinary and common meaning.

[0022] The terms "first," "second," "third," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar or related objects or entities, and do not necessarily imply a specific order or sequence, unless otherwise specified. It should be understood that such terms are interchangeable where appropriate.

[0023] The terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover but not exclude inclusion, for example, a product or device that includes a range of components is not necessarily limited to all of the components that are clearly listed, but may include other components that are not clearly listed or that are inherent to such product or device.

[0024] The display device provided in this application can have various implementation forms, such as a television, a smart television, a laser projection device, a monitor, an electronic bulletin board, an electronic table, etc. Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is one specific embodiment of the display device of this application.

[0025] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the operational scenario between the display device and the control unit according to the embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the user can operate the display device 200 through the smart device 300 or the control device 100.

[0026] In some embodiments, the control device 100 may be a remote control. Communication between the remote control and the display device includes infrared protocol communication, Bluetooth protocol communication, and other short-range communication methods, controlling the display device 200 wirelessly or via wired means. Users can control the display device 200 by inputting user commands through buttons on the remote control, voice input, control panel input, etc.

[0027] In some embodiments, a smart device 300 (such as a mobile terminal, tablet computer, computer, laptop computer, etc.) may also be used to control the display device 200. For example, an application running on the smart device may be used to control the display device 200.

[0028] In some embodiments, the display device may receive instructions not through the aforementioned smart device or control device, but through touch or gestures.

[0029] In some embodiments, the display device 200 can also be controlled in ways other than the control device 100 and the smart device 300. For example, it can be controlled by directly receiving the user's voice commands through a module configured inside the display device 200 for acquiring voice commands, or it can be controlled by receiving the user's voice commands through a voice control device set outside the display device 200.

[0030] In some embodiments, the display device 200 also communicates with the server 400. The display device 200 may communicate via a local area network (LAN), wireless local area network (WLAN), and other networks. The server 400 may provide various content and interactive features to the display device 200. The server 400 may be a cluster or multiple clusters, and may include one or more types of servers.

[0031] Figure 2 An exemplary block diagram of the configuration of the control device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment is shown. Figure 2 As shown, the control device 100 includes a controller 110, a communication interface 130, a user input / output interface 140, a memory, and a power supply. The control device 100 can 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.

[0032] like Figure 3 The display device 200 includes at least one of the following: a tuner 210, a communicator 220, a detector 230, an external device interface 240, a controller 250, a display 260, an audio output interface 270, a memory, a power supply, and a user interface.

[0033] In some embodiments, the controller includes a processor, a video processor, an audio processor, a graphics processor, RAM, ROM, and a first to an nth interface for input / output.

[0034] The display 260 includes a display screen assembly for presenting images, a driving assembly for driving image display, a component for receiving image signals from the controller output, and a user control UI interface for displaying video content, image content, menu control interface, and user control UI interface.

[0035] The display 260 can be an LCD display, an OLED display, or a projection display, and can also be a projection device and a projection screen.

[0036] The communicator 220 is a component used to communicate with external devices or servers according to various communication protocol types. For example, the communicator may include at least one of the following: a Wi-Fi module, a Bluetooth module, a wired Ethernet module, other network communication protocol chips or near-field communication protocol chips, and an infrared receiver. The display device 200 can establish the transmission and reception of control signals and data signals with the external control device 100 or the server 400 through the communicator 220.

[0037] The user interface can be used to receive control signals from the control device 100 (such as an infrared remote control).

[0038] Detector 230 is used to acquire signals from the external environment or to interact with the external environment. For example, detector 230 includes a light receiver, a sensor (not shown) for acquiring ambient light intensity; or, detector 230 includes an image acquisition device, such as a camera, which can be used to acquire external environmental scenes, user attributes, or user interaction gestures; or, detector 230 includes a sound acquisition device, such as a microphone, for receiving external sounds.

[0039] The external device interface 240 may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), analog or high-definition component input interface (component), composite video input interface (CVBS), USB input interface (USB), RGB port, etc. It may also be a composite input / output interface formed by multiple interfaces mentioned above.

[0040] The tuner / demodulator 210 receives broadcast television signals via wired or wireless means, and demodulates audio and video signals, such as EPG data signals, from multiple wireless or wired broadcast television signals.

[0041] In some embodiments, the controller 250 and the tuner 210 may be located in different separate devices, that is, the tuner 210 may also be located in an external device of the main device where the controller 250 is located, such as an external set-top box.

[0042] The controller 250 controls the operation of the display device and responds to user operations through various software control programs stored in the memory. The controller 250 controls the overall operation of the display device 200. For example, in response to receiving a user command to select a UI object to display on the monitor 260, the controller 250 can execute operations related to the object selected by the user command.

[0043] In some embodiments, the controller includes at least one of a central processing unit (CPU), a video processor, an audio processor, a graphics processing unit (GPU), RAM (random access memory), ROM (read-only memory), a first to an nth interface for input / output, a communication bus, etc.

[0044] Users can input commands through a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed on the monitor 260, and the user input interface receives the user input commands through the GUI. Alternatively, users can input commands by entering specific sounds or gestures, and the user input interface receives the user input commands by recognizing the sounds or gestures through sensors.

[0045] A "user interface" is the medium through which an application or operating system interacts and exchanges information with the user. It converts information from its internal form to a form that the user can accept. A common form of user interface is the graphical user interface (GUI), which refers to a user interface related to computer operation displayed graphically. It can be an icon, window, control, or other interface element displayed on the screen of an electronic device. Controls can include visual interface elements such as icons, buttons, menus, tabs, text boxes, dialog boxes, status bars, navigation bars, and widgets.

[0046] See Figure 4 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 Android runtime and system library layer (referred to as the "System Runtime Layer"), and the kernel layer.

[0047] In some embodiments, at least one application runs in the application layer. These applications may be Windows programs, system settings programs, or clock programs that come with the operating system; they may also be applications developed by third-party developers. In specific implementations, the application packages in the application layer are not limited to the examples above.

[0048] 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.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, the application framework layer in this embodiment includes managers, content providers, etc., wherein the managers include at least one of the following modules: ActivityManager, which interacts with all activities running in the system; LocationManager, which provides access to system location services for system services or applications; PackageManager, which retrieves various information related to application packages currently installed on the device; NotificationManager, which controls the display and clearing of notification messages; and WindowManager, which manages icons, windows, toolbars, wallpapers, and desktop widgets on the user interface.

[0050] 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 display window changes (e.g., shrinking the display window, shaking the display, distorting the display, etc.).

[0051] In some embodiments, the system runtime library layer provides support for the upper layer, namely the framework layer. When the framework layer is used, the Android operating system runs the C / C++ libraries contained in the system runtime library layer to implement the functions that the framework layer needs to perform.

[0052] In some embodiments, the kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. For example... Figure 4As shown, the kernel layer includes at least one of the following drivers: 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.

[0053] In some embodiments, for devices with the same or similar hardware and software architecture as the aforementioned display device, the communicator 220 may be configured with a Bluetooth module supporting the Bluetooth protocol. The Bluetooth module is controlled by the controller 250 to implement relevant Bluetooth functions, such as scanning Bluetooth devices, pairing with and connecting to Bluetooth devices, and Bluetooth data transmission. In this application, the display 260 of the display device is used to display a user interface, which includes a pairing prompt page generated and displayed based on a pairing request. The controller 250 controls whether the display 260 displays the pairing prompt page according to the configured anti-interference mode and the permission status of the Bluetooth device.

[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 5 In the example Bluetooth settings page, at least a Bluetooth switch 51 is provided. Users can turn the Bluetooth function on or off by switching the state of the Bluetooth switch 51. If the Bluetooth switch 51 is turned off, the Bluetooth module cannot actively scan for other Bluetooth devices, nor can it be scanned by other Bluetooth devices. These Bluetooth devices include, but are not limited to, mobile phones, Bluetooth headsets, Bluetooth speakers, Bluetooth game controllers, etc.

[0055] In some embodiments, if the Bluetooth switch 51 is turned on, then as Figure 6 For example, the Bluetooth switch 51 will actively scan for other Bluetooth devices with Bluetooth enabled within a specified range and display a device scan list 52 on the Bluetooth settings page. The device scan list 52 includes device information 521 of the scanned Bluetooth devices. The device information 521 includes the Bluetooth device identifier, such as the device model or a user-preset device nickname, so that the user can identify the Bluetooth device.

[0056] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6The device scan list 52 can display the status indication information 522 corresponding to each Bluetooth device. The status indication information 522 is used to indicate whether the Bluetooth device and the display device have been successfully paired. For example, if the status indication information 522 corresponding to Bluetooth device A is "connected", it means that the display device has been paired with Bluetooth device A and has been successfully connected. If the status indication information 522 corresponding to Bluetooth device B is "paired" or "connectable", it means that the display device and Bluetooth device B have already been paired, so the pairing process can be skipped, allowing the display device and Bluetooth device B to establish a Bluetooth connection directly. If the status indication information 522 corresponding to Bluetooth device C is "not paired", it means that the display device must first pair with Bluetooth device C before it can connect to Bluetooth device C.

[0057] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 The display device can automatically divide the Bluetooth devices in the device scan list 52 into a paired device list 71 and an unpaired device list 72 based on the pairing status of each Bluetooth device. Bluetooth devices with status indication information 522 of "connected" or "paired" (or "connectable") are automatically added to the paired device list 71, and Bluetooth devices with status indication information 522 of "unpaired" are automatically added to the unpaired device list 72.

[0058] In some embodiments, it is assumed that the total number of Bluetooth devices that the display device can scan is N, of which the number of paired devices is M, 0 ≤ M ≤ N. If M equals 1, meaning only one Bluetooth device A is paired, the display device automatically connects to Bluetooth device A; if M is greater than 1, meaning there are multiple paired Bluetooth devices, the display device will connect to Bluetooth device A. Figure 6 and Figure 7 For example, if Bluetooth device A and Bluetooth device B are already paired, the user can manually select which Bluetooth device to connect to. Alternatively, if the device priority is Bluetooth device A higher than Bluetooth device B, the device will be displayed to connect to Bluetooth device A first.

[0059] In some embodiments, if M equals 0, meaning that none of the Bluetooth devices scanned by the display device have been paired, the user can select the Bluetooth device they wish to pair and connect to from the unpaired devices.

[0060] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 Assuming the user selects an unpaired Bluetooth device D, a second pairing prompt page is displayed. In this application, the second pairing prompt page corresponds to the scenario where the display device actively initiates a pairing request. (Refer to...) Figure 8For example, the second pairing prompt page includes device information for Bluetooth device D, a first pairing key 81, a pairing control (referred to as a second pairing control 82 in the embodiment for easy distinction), and a cancellation control (referred to as a second cancellation control 83 in the embodiment for easy distinction). The device information for Bluetooth device D is used to indicate that the device actively initiating the pairing is Bluetooth device D, and the first pairing key 81 is used to ensure the security and effectiveness of pairing between devices.

[0061] In some embodiments, if a user triggers the second pairing control 82 on the second pairing prompt page, the display device generates a pairing request 1 based on its own device information and pairing key, and sends the pairing request 1 to the Bluetooth device D; in response to the pairing request 1, the Bluetooth device D can generate and display a third pairing prompt page on its local end. Figure 9 For example, the third pairing prompt page includes device information of the display device, a second pairing key 91, a pairing control (referred to as the third pairing control 92 in the embodiment for easy distinction), and a cancellation control (referred to as the third cancellation control 93 in the embodiment for easy distinction). The device information of the display device is used to indicate that the pairing initiator is the display device. The second pairing key 91 should be consistent with the first pairing key 81 to ensure successful pairing. If the second pairing key 91 is inconsistent with the first pairing key 81, pairing will fail. If the user clicks the third pairing control 92 on the Bluetooth device D, a pairing relationship with the display device is established. If the user clicks the third cancellation control 93 on the Bluetooth device D, the pairing process is canceled.

[0062] If Bluetooth device D supports UI display functionality, such as a mobile phone, tablet, or laptop, it can display the third pairing prompt page when it receives pairing request 1. If Bluetooth device D does not support UI display functionality, such as a Bluetooth headset or Bluetooth speaker, it does not need to display the third pairing prompt page, and Bluetooth device D can allow pairing and connection by default.

[0063] In some embodiments, if the user triggers the second cancel control 83 on the second pairing prompt page, then neither a pairing request 1 is generated nor sent to the Bluetooth device D, the second pairing prompt page is closed, and the pairing process is exited.

[0064] The foregoing embodiments detailed the process of the display device actively initiating a pairing request to the Bluetooth device D, which is a scenario where the display device actively pairs and the Bluetooth device D passively pairs. Assuming that the Bluetooth device C and the display device are not paired, if the Bluetooth device C supports a UI display function, it can adaptably refer to the aforementioned method, with the Bluetooth device C actively sending pairing request 2 to the display device. The display device then generates and displays the corresponding pairing prompt page based on pairing request 2, which is a scenario where the display device passively pairs and the Bluetooth device C actively pairs. If the Bluetooth device C does not support a UI display function, it can initiate a pairing request to the display device through a non-UI method, i.e., only displaying the pairing prompt page on one end of the device. For example, in some usage scenarios, when the charging case lid of a Bluetooth headset is opened, it will automatically send a pairing request to nearby scanned Bluetooth devices. Similarly, when a Bluetooth speaker is powered on, it automatically scans for nearby pairable Bluetooth devices and sends a pairing request to them.

[0065] In some embodiments, for Figure 6 The status indicator information 522 indicates a Bluetooth device that is "connected," "connectable," or "paired," or, for... Figure 7 The Bluetooth devices included in the paired device list 71 are all paired with the display device. Therefore, a corresponding unpairing control 711 can be set for the device information of these Bluetooth devices.

[0066] In some embodiments, with Figure 6 Taking Bluetooth device B as an example, if the user triggers the unpairing control 711 corresponding to Bluetooth device B, the system will display a message indicating that the device has actively unpaired itself from Bluetooth device B. Figure 10 The example Bluetooth settings page changes by changing the status indicator information 522 corresponding to Bluetooth device B to "Not Paired", removing the unpairing control 711 corresponding to Bluetooth device B, and notifying Bluetooth device B that it has been unpaired, indicating that the device and Bluetooth device B may need to be re-paired in the future.

[0067] In some embodiments, with Figure 7 Taking Bluetooth device A as an example, if the user triggers the unpairing control 711 corresponding to Bluetooth device A, the system will display that the device has disconnected its Bluetooth connection with Bluetooth device A and will actively unpair its pairing relationship with Bluetooth device A. Figure 11 The example Bluetooth settings page changes by moving Bluetooth device A from the paired device list 71 to the unpaired device list 72, removing the unpairing control 711 corresponding to Bluetooth device A, and notifying Bluetooth device A that it has been unpaired.

[0068] In some embodiments, the display device may actively unpair its pairing relationship with other Bluetooth devices, or may be unpaired by other Bluetooth devices. For example, after the display device unpairs from Bluetooth device A, if the display device receives a pairing request re-initiated by Bluetooth device A, it still needs to generate and display the corresponding pairing prompt page according to the pairing request.

[0069] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 12 For example, if a display device is currently playing a video and receives a pairing request 3 from Bluetooth device C, it will control the display to show a first pairing prompt page 120 on top of the video screen. In this application, the first pairing prompt page corresponds to a scenario where the display device is passively paired. The first pairing prompt page 120 displays the device information of Bluetooth device C, pairing key, pairing controls, and cancellation controls. At this time, the first pairing prompt page 120 may partially or even completely obscure the video screen below, affecting the user's viewing experience and even causing them to miss highlights and exciting scenes. As another example, if the display device is playing a game interface, the pop-up of the first pairing prompt page will interrupt the user's game operation, affecting the user's gaming experience. Therefore, the pairing prompt page can interfere with the playback of the display device.

[0070] In other scenarios, users may expect the display device to show the pairing prompt page for Bluetooth device A, but not the pairing prompt page for Bluetooth device B. However, existing Bluetooth functions do not support setting display permissions for pairing prompt pages on a device-by-device basis. They can only block pairing prompt pages corresponding to pairing requests initiated by any Bluetooth device, or allow the display of pairing prompt pages corresponding to pairing requests initiated by any Bluetooth device. This is equivalent to the display device assigning a uniform pairing prompt page permission status (indicating whether or not pairing prompt permissions are available) to all Bluetooth devices, which can no longer meet the user's requirements.

[0071] To address the issue of pairing prompts interfering with playback on display devices, in some embodiments, reference is made to... Figure 13For example, a Bluetooth visibility switch 53 can be added to the Bluetooth settings page. If the Bluetooth visibility switch 53 is turned off, it's equivalent to switching the display device to an "invisible" state, making it undetectable by Bluetooth devices. This prevents the display device from receiving pairing requests from other Bluetooth devices. Since the pairing prompt page is generated based on pairing requests, by disabling its own Bluetooth visibility, the display device blocks the reception of passive pairing requests. Therefore, in scenarios where the display device doesn't receive passive pairing requests, it naturally won't display the pairing prompt page corresponding to the passive pairing request. In this scenario, the display device can still scan for nearby Bluetooth devices and actively initiate pairing requests to target Bluetooth devices. If the Bluetooth visibility switch 53 is turned on, the display device is in a visible state and can be scanned by other Bluetooth devices. Unpaired devices can send pairing requests to the display device, which, upon receiving the request, generates and displays the corresponding pairing prompt page.

[0072] The solution of blocking pairing prompt page interference by controlling the Bluetooth visibility switch has the following technical drawbacks: Firstly, for display devices equipped with the Android system, the Bluetooth visibility switch is generally controlled through the BluetoothAdapter.setScanMode interface. However, the BluetoothAdapter.setScanMode interface can only prevent display devices that support the traditional Bluetooth protocol stack from being scanned, but it cannot effectively prevent display devices that support the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol stack from being scanned. For example, even if the Bluetooth visibility switch is off, if some applications on the display device send BLE broadcasts, the display device can still be scanned and paired by other Bluetooth devices, causing the anti-interference function to fail in Bluetooth pairing scenarios.

[0073] Secondly, the pairing prompt page will only be disabled after the display device turns off the Bluetooth visibility switch 53. However, in this scenario, only the display device can actively initiate pairing requests, which limits Bluetooth applications. If the Bluetooth visibility switch 53 is on, the display device is always allowed to generate and display the pairing prompt page according to the received pairing request. That is, when the display device is in Bluetooth visible state, it cannot block the interference of the pairing prompt page. For example, if the user is watching a movie, the display device will frequently pop up the pairing prompt page, affecting the user's movie-watching experience.

[0074] Thirdly, this anti-interference control scheme is not flexible enough. For example, if a user expects the display device to pair and connect with the Bluetooth headset, the user opens the charging case of the Bluetooth headset, and the Bluetooth headset actively scans for nearby Bluetooth devices that can be paired. If the Bluetooth headset detects an unpaired display device, it sends a pairing request to the display device. The display device responds to the pairing request, performs the pairing operation, and automatically establishes a Bluetooth connection with the Bluetooth headset after successful pairing. The display device then transmits audio data to the Bluetooth headset via Bluetooth, and the Bluetooth headset plays the audio data, achieving fast connection and data playback. However, if the display device's Bluetooth visibility switch 53 is off, the Bluetooth headset may not be able to detect the display device after the user opens the charging case. It will only be able to connect to other Bluetooth devices that support audio transmission besides the display device, causing the Bluetooth headset to fail to pair with the display device. Alternatively, the display device may scan for the Bluetooth headset and actively initiate a pairing request, which reduces the connection speed of the Bluetooth headset and causes inconvenience for the user.

[0075] To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, in some embodiments, such as Figure 14 For example, this application provides a third type of Bluetooth settings page, which includes a Bluetooth switch 51, an anti-interference mode setting control 54, a device management control 55, and a device scanning control 57. The Bluetooth switch 51 is used to control the Bluetooth function to be turned on and off. When the Bluetooth switch 51 is turned on, the device scanning control 57 is triggered, allowing access to Bluetooth settings. Figure 6 or Figure 7 The list of UI panel display devices is 52.

[0076] In some embodiments, if the user clicks the anti-interference mode setting control 54, the user interface jumps to... Figure 15 or Figure 16 The example mode settings page includes various anti-interference modes. Users can select a target anti-interference mode according to their needs, and the device will display that the target anti-interference mode is activated. Subsequently, when receiving pairing requests from other Bluetooth devices, the pairing prompt page can be displayed or not based on the rule configuration of the target anti-interference mode.

[0077] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 15 The mode settings page lists four anti-interference mode options, including mode 1 (541), mode 2 (542), mode 3 (543), and mode 4 (544).

[0078] In some embodiments, the first mode 541 (disable display during playback) is configured to disable the display of the pairing prompt page corresponding to the Bluetooth device when the display device is in media playback mode. That is, when the display device is in playback scenarios such as video or games, it will not generate and display a pairing prompt page based on a passive pairing request, ensuring that the display device is not interfered with by the pairing prompt page during playback. The media playback mode refers to the display device presenting media data, which includes, but is not limited to, pure video, audio / video, images, and text data. The video includes, but is not limited to, online videos, channel programs, video sources provided by video applications, screen mirroring, and local videos.

[0079] In some embodiments, the second mode 542 (always disable display) is configured to disable the display of the pairing prompt page corresponding to the Bluetooth device regardless of whether the display device is in media playback mode. That is, when the display device receives a pairing request from the Bluetooth device D, even if the display device is not currently in media playback mode, it will not generate or display a pairing prompt page based on the pairing request sent by the Bluetooth device D. This anti-interference mode does not consider factors such as the media playback status of the display device or the permission status of the Bluetooth device requesting pairing. In scenarios where the Bluetooth switch 51 is on, it will never generate or display a pairing prompt page based on a passive pairing request, making it the most comprehensive and maximized anti-interference mode.

[0080] In some embodiments, the third mode 543 (always display) is configured to always allow the display of the pairing prompt page corresponding to the Bluetooth device, regardless of whether the display device is in media playback mode. This anti-interference mode does not consider factors such as the media playback status of the display device or the permission status of the Bluetooth device requesting pairing. In scenarios where the Bluetooth switch 51 is on, as long as a passive pairing request is received, the corresponding pairing prompt page is generated and displayed. This is an anti-interference mode with zero or minimal anti-interference level.

[0081] In some embodiments, the fourth mode 544 (display by device permissions) is configured to allow the display of pairing prompt pages corresponding to Bluetooth devices with pairing prompt permissions, regardless of whether the display device is in media playback mode. This anti-interference mode does not consider the media playback state of the display device, but it does consider the permission status of the Bluetooth device requesting pairing. The permission status is used to indicate whether the Bluetooth device has pairing prompt permissions. For example, if the display device is playing video and receives pairing request 1 from Bluetooth device C and pairing request 2 from Bluetooth device D, and the display device finds that Bluetooth device C does not have pairing prompt permissions, while Bluetooth device D does, then it generates and displays the corresponding pairing prompt page 2 based on pairing request 2. Pairing prompt page 2 includes the device information of Bluetooth device D, the pairing key, and related operation controls. The display device will not generate and display the corresponding pairing prompt page based on pairing request 1. The fourth mode is equivalent to eliminating interference only from pairing prompt pages corresponding to unauthorized devices, allowing the display of pairing prompt pages corresponding to authorized devices even when the display device is in media playback mode.

[0082] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 16 The example mode settings page has a first mode 541 that can be further divided into two sub-modes: Sub-mode one is "Disable when playing, display when not playing," and sub-mode two is "Disable when playing, display according to device permissions when not playing." Sub-mode one and sub-mode two are similar in that when the display device is in media playback mode, the pairing prompt page corresponding to the Bluetooth device is disabled to ensure that the display device is not interfered with during playback. The difference between sub-mode one and sub-mode two is that when the display device is not in media playback mode, sub-mode one does not consider the permission status of the Bluetooth device requesting pairing and allows the display of the pairing prompt page corresponding to the Bluetooth device, while sub-mode two considers the permission status of the Bluetooth device requesting pairing. For example, if Bluetooth device D initiates a pairing request to the display device which is not in media playback mode, and the display device finds that Bluetooth device D has pairing prompt permissions, then it generates and displays the corresponding pairing prompt page based on the pairing request; if Bluetooth device D does not have pairing prompt permissions, even if the display device is currently in media playback mode, the pairing prompt page corresponding to Bluetooth device D will not be displayed. Sub-mode two can determine the anti-interference level in scenarios where the display device is not playing content based on the permission status of different Bluetooth devices, which helps improve the security of Bluetooth pairing. The types and number of anti-interference modes in the mode settings page are not limited to the examples in this application.

[0083] In some embodiments, if the user clicks Figure 14 Device management control 55 in the Bluetooth settings page will display the device management page, such as... Figure 17For example, the device management page includes a list of devices to be paired. This list contains device information for K devices to be paired, and each device corresponds to a permission switch 551. The devices to be paired refer to Bluetooth devices that can be scanned by the display device but have not yet successfully paired with it. The permission switch 551 is used to control the permission status of the devices to be paired. Figure 17 The list of devices to be paired includes Bluetooth device C, Bluetooth device D, and Bluetooth device F. If the user turns off permission switch 551 for Bluetooth device C, the system settings database will record that Bluetooth device C does not have pairing prompt permission; if the user turns on permission switch 551 for Bluetooth device D, the system settings database will record that Bluetooth device D has pairing prompt permission.

[0084] In some embodiments, the list of devices to be paired can be dynamically updated. For example, if Bluetooth device F successfully establishes a Bluetooth connection with the display device, i.e., pairing is successful, then Bluetooth device F does not need to be paired again, and there is no need to control the anti-interference of the pairing prompt page corresponding to Bluetooth device F. Therefore, Bluetooth device F can be deleted from the list of devices to be paired. For another example, if the user unpairs the display device from Bluetooth device F, Bluetooth device F will need to resend a pairing request to the display device if it wants to connect to the display device. Therefore, if the display device scans Bluetooth device F after Bluetooth device F is unpaired, it can add Bluetooth device F to the list of devices to be paired.

[0085] In the foregoing embodiments, the device management page displays a list of devices to be paired. In other embodiments, the display device can also obtain a historical device list based on historical scan records. The historical device list includes device information of Bluetooth devices that the display device has historically scanned. For example, Bluetooth devices scanned at the current time and within a preset period (e.g., one month) can be added to the historical device list, and the historical device list can be displayed on the device management page. A corresponding permission switch can be set for each device information included in the historical device list. The type of device list displayed on the device management page is not limited to the examples in this application.

[0086] In some embodiments, after the user selects a target anti-interference mode on the mode settings page and sets the permission status of the Bluetooth device on the device management page, the display device, upon receiving a pairing request from another Bluetooth device, decides whether to display a pairing prompt page according to the rules specified by the target anti-interference mode. For ease of distinction, the pairing prompt page generated and displayed by the display device based on the passive pairing request is named the first pairing prompt page. (Refer to...) Figure 18For example, when displaying the first pairing prompt page, the first pairing prompt page includes the device information of the first Bluetooth device, the pairing key, the pairing control (referred to as the first pairing control 181 in the embodiment for easy distinction), the cancellation control (referred to as the first cancellation control 182 in the embodiment for easy distinction) and the no-permission control 183 (i.e. "Do not display the pairing prompt of this Bluetooth device again"), wherein the first Bluetooth device refers to the Bluetooth device that is currently sending a pairing request to the display device.

[0087] In some embodiments, assuming the first Bluetooth device is Bluetooth device D, after viewing the information requesting Bluetooth device D and the pairing key, the user can choose whether to agree to pairing. If the user clicks the first pairing control 181 on the first pairing prompt page, the pairing operation between the display device and Bluetooth device D is executed. After successful pairing, a Bluetooth connection between the display device and Bluetooth device D is automatically established. After successful connection, [the user can...] Figure 6 In the example Bluetooth settings page, change the status indicator information of Bluetooth device D to "Connected", or in... Figure 7 In the example Bluetooth settings page, Bluetooth device D is moved from the list of unpaired devices to the list of paired devices, and, see reference... Figure 19 For example, the user interface displays the message "Bluetooth device D has been paired and connected successfully".

[0088] In some embodiments, if the user clicks the first cancel control 182 on the first pairing prompt page, the pairing operation between the display device and the Bluetooth device D is canceled. Figure 6 In the example Bluetooth settings page, the status indicator for Bluetooth device D remains "Not Paired," or... Figure 7 In the example Bluetooth settings page, Bluetooth device D remains in the list of unpaired devices.

[0089] In some embodiments, if a user clicks the "No Permission" control 183 on the first pairing prompt page, it indicates that the user does not want to see the pairing prompt page corresponding to Bluetooth device D again. Therefore, it is recorded that Bluetooth device D does not have pairing prompt permission. (Refer to...) Figure 20 For example, the permission switch for Bluetooth device D in the device management page is turned off.

[0090] In some embodiments, the non-permission control 183 only affects the pairing prompt permission of Bluetooth device D, and does not affect the pairing and connection of Bluetooth device D. The user controls whether the display device is paired with Bluetooth device D by operating the first pairing control 181 and the first cancel control 182. Figure 18For example, a user can first click the "No Permission" control 183, and then click the first pairing control 181. The display device will then perform a pairing operation with Bluetooth device D and record that Bluetooth device D does not have pairing prompt permission. If the display device subsequently unpairs Bluetooth device D, and Bluetooth device D resends a pairing request to the display device, the display device will determine whether to display the pairing prompt page corresponding to Bluetooth device D based on the currently enabled anti-interference mode and the permission status of Bluetooth device D.

[0091] In some embodiments, for example, if the user first clicks the "No Permission" control 183 and then clicks the first "Cancel" control 182, the device will cancel pairing with Bluetooth device D and record that Bluetooth device D does not have pairing prompt permission. When Bluetooth device D sends a pairing request again, the device will determine whether to display the pairing prompt page corresponding to Bluetooth device D based on the currently enabled anti-interference mode and the permission status of Bluetooth device D.

[0092] In some embodiments, Figure 18 The system supports two operation combinations: the first is to trigger the unauthorized control 183 and the first paired control 181 (the triggering order is not limited); the second is to trigger the unauthorized control 183 and the first cancel control 182 (the triggering order is not limited), but the first paired control 181 and the first cancel control 182 cannot be triggered at the same time.

[0093] In some embodiments, the controller 250 may also be configured to: in response to the triggering of the permissionless control 183, cancel the pairing process between the display device and the Bluetooth device D, close the first pairing prompt page, record the permission status of the Bluetooth device D as lacking pairing prompt permission, and switch the permission switch of the Bluetooth device D in the device management page to the off state. In this embodiment, only one of the first pairing control 181, the first cancel control 182, and the permissionless control 183 can be triggered. When the permissionless control 183 is triggered, pairing is canceled by default and the Bluetooth device D is added to the list of devices without permission.

[0094] In some embodiments, Figure 21 A third type of first pairing prompt page is provided. In addition to the device information of the first Bluetooth device, the pairing key, the first pairing control 181 and the first cancel control 182, the unauthorized control 183 can be further subdivided into two sub-controls: the first sub-control 183A (pairing and no longer displaying the pairing prompt for the Bluetooth device) and the second sub-control 183B (cancelling and no longer displaying the pairing prompt for the Bluetooth device). The user can only trigger one of the first pairing control 181, the first cancel control 182, the first sub-control 183A and the second sub-control 183B.

[0095] In some embodiments, if the user triggers the first pairing control 181 to display that the device is performing a pairing operation with the Bluetooth device D, the permission status of the Bluetooth device D may not be modified, and the permission switch of the Bluetooth device D in the device management page may remain unchanged. Alternatively, the permission status of the Bluetooth device D may be set to have pairing prompt permission, and the permission switch of the Bluetooth device D in the device management page may be switched to the on state.

[0096] In some embodiments, if the user triggers the first cancellation control 182, the device cancels the pairing operation with the Bluetooth device D, without modifying the permission status of the Bluetooth device D, that is, keeping the permission switch of the Bluetooth device D in the device management page unchanged, or the permission status of the Bluetooth device D can be set to have pairing prompt permission, and the permission switch of the Bluetooth device D in the device management page can be switched to the on state.

[0097] In some embodiments, if the user triggers the first sub-control 183A, the device is shown to perform a pairing operation with the Bluetooth device D, and the permission status of the Bluetooth device D is changed to not have pairing prompt permission, and the permission switch of the Bluetooth device D in the device management page is switched to the off state.

[0098] In some embodiments, if the user triggers the second sub-control 183B, the device displays that it has canceled the pairing operation with the Bluetooth device D, and modifies the permission status of the Bluetooth device D to not have pairing prompt permission, and switches the permission switch of the Bluetooth device D in the device management page to the off state.

[0099] In some embodiments, if the user is Figure 18 The example triggers the "No Permission Control 183" error on the first pairing prompt page, or... Figure 21 In the example, the first child control 183A or the second child control 183B is triggered on the first pairing prompt page, see reference. Figure 22 For example, the first pairing prompt page is closed, and a prompt indicating that pairing of Bluetooth device D has been restricted is displayed on the user interface. The user can modify the pairing prompt permissions of Bluetooth device D in the device management page of Bluetooth settings, and switch the permission switch corresponding to Bluetooth device D in the device management page to the off state.

[0100] In some embodiments, Figure 23 Example of another device management page, which includes a list of devices to be paired. Each device to be paired corresponds to a permission switch 551 and a pairing mode setting control 552. The user controls whether the device to be paired has pairing prompt permission by operating the permission switch 551. After the user triggers the pairing mode setting control 552, the pairing mode setting window is displayed on the upper layer of the user interface.

[0101] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 23The pairing mode settings window offers several pairing modes, including but not limited to the first pairing mode (disables automatic pairing when prompted) and the second pairing mode (always keeps asking for pairing via pop-up). Users can select a target pairing mode from these options.

[0102] In some embodiments, the first pairing mode is configured to allow the display device to skip the pairing prompt page and automatically pair with the device to be paired (pairing without pop-ups) when the pairing prompt page corresponding to the device to be paired is not displayed. Taking Bluetooth device C as an example, after the display device receives the pairing request sent by Bluetooth device C, according to the aforementioned technical solution, it determines not to display the pairing prompt page corresponding to Bluetooth device C. Therefore, the user cannot choose whether to agree to pair the display device with Bluetooth device C through the pairing prompt page. If the user sets the first pairing mode for Bluetooth device C, although the user interface does not display the pairing prompt page corresponding to Bluetooth device C, the Bluetooth module of the display device will automatically perform the pairing operation with Bluetooth device C. This prevents interference from the pairing prompt page of Bluetooth device C and automatically completes the pairing connection between the display device and Bluetooth device C, thus avoiding the situation where the Bluetooth device cannot pair when there is no pairing prompt.

[0103] In some embodiments, the second pairing mode is configured to always display a pairing prompt page, asking the user whether to agree to pairing the display device with the device to be paired. If the user has set the second pairing mode for Bluetooth device C and currently blocks the display of the pairing prompt page for Bluetooth device C, making it impossible to connect to Bluetooth device C via the pairing prompt page, then the Bluetooth module of the display device will not perform the pairing operation with Bluetooth device C. That is, once the pairing prompt page is blocked in the second pairing mode, the device to be paired will also be unable to pair with the display device. The user can switch the anti-interference mode and / or adjust the permission switch for the device to be paired, allowing the display device to display the pairing prompt page for the device to be paired. The user can then select to agree to pairing on the pairing prompt page to achieve pairing and connection between the display device and the device to be paired. Compared to the first pairing mode, the second pairing mode can improve the security of Bluetooth pairing connections.

[0104] This application's Bluetooth settings page does not include a Bluetooth visibility switch; the display device remains always visible, ensuring it can be scanned by other Bluetooth devices. The display device does not block pairing requests initiated by Bluetooth devices. Upon receiving a pairing request, it decides whether to display a pairing prompt page based on the request type (active or passive), the user-preset anti-interference mode, and whether the Bluetooth device has pairing notification permissions. If the conditions for allowing display are met, the display device is allowed to show the pairing prompt page, thus preventing the user from missing pairing and connection attempts. If the conditions for disabling display are met, the pairing prompt page is not displayed to avoid obstructing or interfering with the content played on the display device, and to ensure Bluetooth connection security. Therefore, this application's control scheme is more flexible and better suited to diverse user scenarios and Bluetooth connection security requirements.

[0105] In some embodiments, the anti-interference mode can also be set and expanded based on specific scenario constraints. For example, when certain types of applications such as video applications, game applications, and social applications are running, the pairing prompt page corresponding to the Bluetooth device can be prohibited from being displayed.

[0106] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 24 For example, an application management control 56 can be added to the Bluetooth settings page. When the user clicks the application management control 56, the user interface jumps to the application management page. The application management page displays application identifiers 561 of the installed applications on the device. Installed applications include built-in applications (such as electronic user guides) and third-party applications. The application identifier can be the application name. Each application identifier 561 corresponds to an application switch 562. When the application switch 562 is off, the corresponding application does not have pairing prompt permissions; conversely, if the application switch 562 is on, the corresponding application has pairing prompt permissions. Figure 24 This allows users to set pairing prompt permissions individually for each application. For example, you can set the pairing prompt page to be disabled when application A is running in the foreground, and allow the pairing prompt page to be displayed when application B is running in the foreground, and so on.

[0107] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 25 For example, a fifth mode 545 (Display by Application Permissions) is added to the mode settings page. This fifth mode is configured to prevent the display of the pairing prompt page for the Bluetooth device when an application without pairing prompt permissions is running in the foreground of the display device. This embodiment does not consider the media playback status of the display device or the permissions of the Bluetooth device; instead, it decides whether to display the pairing prompt page based on the application running status of the display device.

[0108] For example, when a display device receives a pairing request from Bluetooth device D, if it detects that application A is running in the foreground and finds that application A does not have pairing prompt permissions, it will prevent the display of the pairing prompt page corresponding to Bluetooth device D. As another example, when a display device receives a pairing request from Bluetooth device D, if it detects that application B is running in the foreground and application B has pairing prompt permissions, it will allow the display of the pairing prompt page corresponding to Bluetooth device D. Yet another example, when a device receives a pairing request from Bluetooth device D and no application is running in the foreground, it will allow the display of the pairing prompt page corresponding to Bluetooth device D. Figure 24 and Figure 25 The example expands upon a mode for preventing Bluetooth pairing interference based on application permissions, improving adaptability to anti-interference scenarios.

[0109] In some embodiments, the specific scenario constraints include situations where the display device is in a state of screen recording, screen projection, screen sharing, screen off, screen saver, or other scenarios that require anti-interference measures, prohibiting the display device from displaying a pairing prompt page.

[0110] In some embodiments, such as Figure 26 As shown, this application provides a first Bluetooth pairing anti-interference control method, which is executed by a controller 250 and includes the following steps: Step S261: Receive a pairing request sent by the first Bluetooth device.

[0111] Step S262: The currently enabled anti-interference mode is found to be the first mode.

[0112] The first mode is configured to prevent the display of the pairing prompt page corresponding to the Bluetooth device from being displayed when a pairing request is received if the display device is in media playback mode.

[0113] Step S263: Detect whether the display device is in media playback mode. If the display device is in media playback mode, proceed to step S264; otherwise, proceed to step S265.

[0114] Step S264: Do not display the pairing prompt page corresponding to the pairing request.

[0115] Step S265: Display the pairing prompt page corresponding to the pairing request.

[0116] This embodiment prevents the pairing prompt page from being displayed when the display device is playing media, ensuring that media playback is not interfered with, and allows the pairing prompt page to be displayed when the display device is not playing media.

[0117] In some embodiments, such as Figure 27 As shown, this application provides a second Bluetooth pairing anti-interference control method, which is executed by a controller 250 and includes the following steps: Step S271: Receive a pairing request sent by the first Bluetooth device.

[0118] Step S272: The anti-interference mode is found to be the first mode.

[0119] The first mode is configured to prevent the display of the pairing prompt page corresponding to the Bluetooth device when the display device is in media playback mode.

[0120] Step S273: Detect whether the display device is in media playback mode. If the display device is in media playback mode, proceed to step S274; otherwise, proceed to step S275.

[0121] Step S274: Do not display the pairing prompt page corresponding to the pairing request.

[0122] Step S275: Determine whether the first Bluetooth device has pairing prompt permission. If the first Bluetooth device has pairing prompt permission, proceed to step S276; otherwise, proceed to step S274.

[0123] Step S276: Display the pairing prompt page corresponding to the pairing request.

[0124] This embodiment prevents the pairing prompt page from being displayed when the display device is playing media, ensuring that media playback is not interfered with. If the display device is not playing media, it determines whether to display the corresponding pairing prompt page based on the permission status of the first Bluetooth device, thereby further enhancing the anti-interference capability according to device permissions and ensuring the security of Bluetooth device pairing and connection.

[0125] In some embodiments, such as Figure 28 As shown, this application provides a third Bluetooth pairing anti-interference control method, which is executed by controller 250 and includes the following steps: Step S281: Receive pairing request.

[0126] Step S282: Determine whether the pairing request has been received by the display device.

[0127] If the pairing request is received by the display device, proceed to step S283. This occurs when the user, after scanning for nearby Bluetooth devices on the display device, selects a target Bluetooth device from the unpaired devices, intending to actively request a pairing connection with the target Bluetooth device. The user interface receives the user's selection instruction for the target Bluetooth device, generates a pairing request based on the target Bluetooth device's device information, and sends this pairing request to the controller 250. Therefore, the pairing request received by the controller 250 is generated on the display device side and is an active pairing request. Since the user actively requests pairing with the target Bluetooth device on the display device side, displaying a pairing prompt page is allowed in this scenario.

[0128] In another scenario, the pairing request is received by the first Bluetooth device, meaning the first Bluetooth device actively requests pairing from the display device, and the display device passively receives the pairing request from the first Bluetooth device. In this case, the display device receives a passive pairing request, and then step S284 is executed.

[0129] Step S283: Display the pairing prompt page corresponding to the pairing request.

[0130] Step S284: Query the currently enabled anti-interference mode.

[0131] If the anti-interference mode is the first mode, execute steps S285 to S287, wherein the first mode is used to indicate that when the display device is in media playback state, the pairing prompt page corresponding to the Bluetooth device is not displayed.

[0132] Step S285: Detect whether the display device is in media playback mode. If the display device is in media playback mode, proceed to step S286; otherwise, proceed to step S287.

[0133] Step S286: Do not display the pairing prompt page corresponding to the pairing request.

[0134] Step S287: Determine whether the first Bluetooth device indicating the pairing request has pairing prompt permission. If the first Bluetooth device has pairing prompt permission, proceed to step S283; otherwise, proceed to step S286.

[0135] If the anti-interference mode is the second mode, execute step S286. The second mode is used to indicate that the pairing prompt page corresponding to the Bluetooth device is prohibited from being displayed regardless of whether the display device is in media playback state.

[0136] If the anti-interference mode is the third mode, execute step S283. The third mode is used to indicate that the pairing prompt page corresponding to the Bluetooth device is allowed to be displayed regardless of whether the display device is in media playback state.

[0137] If the anti-interference mode is found to be the fourth mode, step S287 is executed. The fourth mode is used to indicate that the pairing prompt page corresponding to the Bluetooth device with pairing prompt permission is allowed to be displayed.

[0138] This embodiment can make a comprehensive decision on whether to allow or prohibit the display of the pairing prompt page when the display device receives a pairing request, based on the pairing request type, anti-interference mode category, and permission status of the unpaired device. The control scheme is more flexible and meets the requirements of usage scenarios, user intentions, security, and anti-interference.

[0139] The user interfaces illustrated in this application, such as the Bluetooth settings page, pairing prompt page, mode setting page, and device management page, are merely exemplary and do not constitute a limitation on product UI design. The Bluetooth pairing anti-interference control scheme provided in this application only aims to prevent the pairing prompt page from interfering with the display device, such as preventing interference with the media playback interface or pop-up interference from unauthorized / unauthorized Bluetooth devices, without affecting other Bluetooth functions. This application supports configuring different numbers and categories of anti-interference modes, which are presented to the user for selection on the mode setting page. The rules for setting the anti-interference mode can consider multiple factors, including but not limited to Bluetooth device permissions, the operating status of the display device, media playback status, specific scenario constraints, user intent, and preferences, thereby enriching the Bluetooth pairing anti-interference control logic from a multi-dimensional and multi-scenario perspective.

[0140] In some embodiments, this application also provides a computer storage medium that may store a program.
