[0073] In some embodiments, the user input interface 280 can be used to receive instructions from a user.

[0074] To perform user interaction, in some embodiments, the display apparatus 200 can run an operating system. The operating system can be a computer program for managing and controlling hardware resources and software resources in the display apparatus 200. The operating system can control the display apparatus to provide a user interface. For example, the operating system canVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P directly control the display apparatus to provide a user interface, or can provide a user interface by running an application program. The operating system can also allow a user to interact with the display apparatus 200.

[0075] It should be noted that the operating system can be a native operating system based on a specific operating platform, or a third-party operating system deeply customized based on a specific operating platform, or an independent operating system specially developed for the display apparatus.

[0076] The operating system can be divided into different modules or levels according to the functions implemented. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the system can be divided into four layers, from top to bottom, namely the application layer (Applications), the middleware layer and the hardware layer.

[0077] In some embodiments, the application layer can be used to provide services and interfaces for applications so that the display apparatus 200 can run applications and interact with users based on the applications. At least one application program can be run in the application program layer. These applications can be window programs, system setting programs, clock programs, etc. provided by the operating system; or they can be applications developed by third-party developers. In some embodiments, the application packages in the application layer are not limited to the above examples.

[0078] The framework layer can provide application programming interface (API) and programming framework for applications. The application framework layer can include some predefined functions. The application framework layer can be equivalent to a processing center, which can determine the actions to be taken by the applications in the application layer. Through the API interface, applications can access system resources and obtain system services during execution.

[0079] As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the software configuration in the display apparatus in FIG. 1 according to some embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the system of the display apparatus 200 can be divided into three layers, namely, the application layer, the middleware layer and the hardware layer from top to bottom.

[0080] The application layer can mainly include commonly used applications on TV and application frameworks. Common applications can be mainly applications developed based on browsers, such as HTML5 APPs and native applications (Native APPs).VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0081] The Application Framework can be a complete program model that has all the basic functions required by standard application software, such as file access, data exchange, etc., as well as the user interfaces of these functions (toolbars, state bars, menus, dialog boxes).

[0082] Native Apps can support online or offline, message push or local resource access.

[0083] The middleware layer can include various television protocols, multimedia protocols, and system components. Middleware can use the basic services (functions) provided by the system software to connect various parts of the application system or different applications on the network, thereby achieving the purpose of resource sharing and function sharing.

[0084] The hardware layer can mainly include the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) interface, hardware and drivers. The HAL interface can be a unified interface for all TV chips to connect, and the specific logic can be implemented by each chip. The drivers can mainly include: audio driver, display driver, Bluetooth driver, camera driver, WIFI driver, USB driver, HDMI driver, sensor driver (such as fingerprint sensor, temperature sensor, pressure sensor, etc.), and power driver, etc.

[0085] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only the simple division of the operating system functions and does not constitute the limitation on the specific operating system form of the display apparatus 200 in the embodiment of the present application. Depending on factors such as the function of the display apparatus and the type of operating system, the number of levels and specific level types contained in the operating system can be expressed in other forms.

[0086] The display apparatus 200 can present a user interface and support user interaction. Taking smart TV as an example, smart TV can realize two-way human-computer interaction function, integrating multiple functions such as audio and video, entertainment, data, etc. to meet the diverse and personalized needs of users. Smart TVs can not only provide rich and diverse audio-visual content, but also enhance the user's interactive experience by continuously optimizing the user interface (Ul) design.

[0087] In order to further enhance the user experience, smart TVs can also introduce quick settings functions. For example, a quick setting menu can be introduced, aiming to allow users to quickly adjust the smart TV to the most comfortable viewing state or perform common operations through the quick setting menu displayed on the user interface.

[0088] In some embodiments, the existing quick setting menu display methods can mainly include two forms. One is intelligent recommendation based on the user's historical usage records, which canVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P automatically place the setting item that the user has recently used in a prominent position to facilitate the user to quickly retrieve them. The setting item are the function options that can be set in the display apparatus 200, for example, they can include volume, sound mode, image mode, image quality, aspect ratio, etc. Users can set these function options according to their own needs. The other can be to allow users to customize the display mode, that is, users can add commonly used setting item to the quick setting menu according to their preferences to achieve personalized settings.

[0089] However, the current display content of the quick setting menu often focuses on the setting item of basic functions, such as volume adjustment, brightness adjustment, Bluetooth settings, etc., while there is a lack of sufficient support and display for the unique function setting item in specific scenarios. In some embodiments, the specific scenario can be a scenario for different input signal sources, where the input signal source can be the source of the signal received by the smart TV. Different input signal sources can correspond to different signal types and device connection methods. In this way, the unique function setting item in a specific scenario can be different signal source setting item corresponding to different input signal sources. For example, the input signal source can be Live TV, High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), or Audio Video (AV). Among them, Live TV is a television signal received through cable TV, satellite TV or terrestrial digital television, and users can watch real-time television programs through this input source. HDMI can be used to connect various devices (such as game consoles, Blu-ray players, computers, etc.) to a TV, allowing the transmission of high-definition video and audio signals. AV can be used to connect DVD players, cameras and other devices. Currently, the quick setting function of smart TVs lacks support and display functions for signal source setting item in the above-mentioned specific scenarios.

[0090] In other words, the current user interface has the problem of unbalanced menu settings. Thus, due to the uneven distribution of setting item, when users perform some operations, such as setting signal source setting item, they need to search level by level, that is, they need to enter a multi-level menu, which can make the operation cumbersome and affects the user experience.

[0091] In order to solve the problem of unbalanced menu settings on the user interface, some embodiments of the present application provide a display apparatus 200, where the display apparatus 200 includes a display 260 and a processor 250 coupled to the display 260. The display 260 is configured to display a user interface, and the processor 250 enables the display apparatus 200 to execute a setting method for a setting item by running a specific computer execution instruction.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0092] In order to facilitate the understanding of the technical solutions in some embodiments of the present application, each step is described in detail below in conjunction with some specific embodiments and drawings. FIG. 4 is a flow chart of a method for setting a setting item executed by a display apparatus according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4, in some embodiments, when the display apparatus 200 executes the method for setting a setting item, the following steps SI to S4 can be included. The specific contents are as follows.

[0093] Step SI: in response to an instruction for launching a first application, open an application interface corresponding to the first application, where the first application includes a first identifier and a second identifier; determine a first application setting item corresponding to the first application according to the second identifier of the first application; where the first identifier is used to represent the running state of the first application; and the second identifier is used to represent associated information of the first application.

[0094] In some embodiments, the display apparatus 200 can access input signal sources of different signal source types. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a scenario in which a display apparatus is connected to an input signal source according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 5, the input signal source can be Live TV, HDMI, etc.

[0095] In some embodiments, digital television (DTV) includes traditional TV channels, while Live TV can include traditional TV channels and network channels, which covers a wider range. When the input signal source is Live TV, in conjunction with FIG. 5, the display apparatus 200 can display setting items matching Live TV on the bottom of the user interface. Among them, the system setting menu All Settings can be the function entrance for all basic function setting item, such as volume adjustment, brightness adjustment, etc., and other setting item except All Settings are the setting item corresponding to Live TV. For example, the channel search setting item Channel Search, the channel list editing setting item Edit Channel List, the subtitle setting item Subtitle, the audio language setting item Audio Language, etc. Among them, the Channel Search setting item can be used to perform the channel search function, the Edit Channel List can be used to edit the channel list, the Subtitle can be used to set the relevant information of the subtitle, and the Audio Language can be used to set the language related functions.

[0096] It can be understood that the above is only an exemplary description using Live TV as the input signal source, and does not constitute a limitation to the technical solution provided in the application.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945PThe input signal source can also be other input signal sources, such as an HDMI signal source, etc., and the application does not make specific limitations.

[0097] In some embodiments, based on the above input signal source, a certain application can be opened on its upper layer.

[0098] In response to an instruction for opening a first application, the display apparatus 200 can open an application interface corresponding to the first application, where the first application includes a first identifier and a second identifier, and determine a first application setting item corresponding to the first application based on the second identifier of the first application; where the first identifier is used to represent the running state of the first application; and the second identifier is used to represent associated information of the first application.

[0099] In some embodiments, the signal source type of the current input signal source is Live TV as shown in FIG. 5. It is understandable that when the display apparatus 200 is connected to the input signal source, the input signal source can occupy the playback resources of the display apparatus 200. Based on the current signal source type, when an application is opened, since the application can also occupy resources, such as the application can occupy playback resources, when both the input signal source and the application are turned on, the display apparatus 200 can give priority to displaying the application interface corresponding to the application due to resource occupation (such as processor usage, memory consumption, etc.) and interface display configuration, and cannot display the interface corresponding to the current input signal source.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first application corresponds to two identifiers. The first identifier is used to represent the running state of the application. If the first identifier exists, it means that the application is running. The second identifier is used to represent the associated information of the application, such as the type of application input, whether it is a game or other type. The display apparatus 200 can determine the application setting item corresponding to the application according to the second identifier of the application, as shown in FIG. 6. When the first application is a game application, the display apparatus 200 can determine the game application setting item corresponding to the game application, such as Game Menu shown in FIG. 6. Therefore, when both the application and the input signal source exist, the priority of displaying the application interface can be higher than the priority of displaying the input signal source. Once an application is started based on the current input signal source, the display apparatus 200 can open the application interfaceVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P corresponding to the first application and determine the first application setting item corresponding to the first application based on the second identifier. After step SI is completed, the following step S2 can be executed.

[0101] Step S2 : in response to an instruction for opening a setting menu, control the display to display a first application setting menu.

[0102] In some embodiments, in response to an instruction for opening a setting menu, the display apparatus 200 can control the display 260 to display the first application setting menu. Referring to FIG. 6, the instruction can be a remote control button, touch screen, voice instruction or remote instruction, etc. For example, the instruction can be a Menu button corresponding to the remote control. When the user presses the Menu button, the display apparatus 200 can generate an instruction for opening the setting menu.

[0103] In some embodiments, due to factors such as resource usage and interface display, the application can be displayed on the upper layer of the current input signal source. Therefore, in response to the instruction, the display apparatus 200 can display the application setting menu corresponding to the application, such as the game application setting menu shown in FIG. 6. Among them, the first application setting menu (such as the game application setting menu) includes a first application setting item (such as the game application setting item Game Menu), and the first application setting item is a system function setting item associated with the first application.

[0104] That is, when both the application and the input signal source exist, the display apparatus 200 can preferentially display the setting menu of the application according to the instruction for opening the setting menu, and cannot display the setting menu corresponding to the input signal source. After step S2 is completed, the following step S3 can be executed.

[0105] Step S3: in response to a signal source switching instruction from a user, switch to the second signal source, determine the signal source type corresponding to the second signal source, and determine a first menu setting item according to the signal source type; where the first menu setting item can be a setting item associated with the signal source type.

[0106] In some embodiments, based on the current input signal source, in response to a user's switching instruction to switch signal sources, the display apparatus 200 can switch to a second signal source based on the current input signal source, determine the signal source type corresponding toVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P the second signal source, and determine a first menu setting item based on the signal source type, where the first menu setting item can be a setting item associated with the signal source type.

[0107] In some embodiments, still taking the current input signal source as Live TV as an example, in response to the signal source switching instruction, the display apparatus 200 can switch to the second signal source. If the signal source type corresponding to the second signal source is HDMI, the display apparatus 200 can determine the setting item corresponding to HDMI. In this way, when the signal source type of an input signal source changes, the corresponding display apparatus 200 can switch to a setting item that matches the new input signal source. After step S3 is completed, the following step S4 can be executed.

[0108] Step S4: based on that the second signal source does not receive any input content, in response to an instruction for opening a setting menu, control the display to display a first setting menu, where the first setting menu can include a first menu setting item.

[0109] In some embodiments, in response to the switching of the signal source type, the display apparatus 200 can switch to the second signal source. The display apparatus 200 can detect whether the input signal source receives input content and execute different processes according to different situations.

[0110] FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a scenario in which the display apparatus does not receive input content according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the input content can refer to not connecting to an external device, not opening an application based on the input signal source, etc., and it is only a simple input signal source. In this case, when the second signal source does not receive input content, in response to an instruction for opening the setting menu, the display apparatus 200 can control the display 260 to display a first setting menu. For example, when the signal source type after switching is HDMI, the first setting menu can be the menu corresponding to HDMI, and the first setting menu can include a first menu setting item. The first menu setting item can be the setting item corresponding to HDMI, as shown in FIG. 8.

[0111] That is to say, when the input signal source does not receive input content, it can not only focus on the setting item of basic functions, such as volume adjustment, brightness adjustment, etc., but also display the setting item of unique functions for specific scenarios, such as setting item underVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P different input signal sources (such as HDMI, AV, etc.), etc., thereby solving the problem of unbalanced menu settings in the current user interface and improving the user experience.

[0112] In some embodiments, after switching to the second signal source, the display apparatus 200 can identify the second application corresponding to the input content when receiving input content on the second signal source, and then can determine the second application setting item corresponding to the second application according to the second identifier of the second application, and in response to an instruction for opening the setting menu, control the display 260 to display a setting menu containing the second application setting item.

[0113] In some embodiments, FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of a scenario in which a display apparatus receives input content according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 9, in some embodiments, when input content is received on the second signal source, such as when receiving an external gaming device, the display apparatus 200 can identify the application and the setting item corresponding to the application. Due to factors such as resource occupation and interface display, in response to an instruction for opening a setting menu, the display apparatus 200 can control the display 260 to display the setting menu of the application, as shown in FIG. 10. In this way, the display apparatus 200 can automatically adjust the menus and setting item displayed on the user interface according to the type of the connected device and the running application, so that the display of the menu is more flexible and convenient.

[0114] In some embodiments, when the display apparatus 200 determines the first application setting item corresponding to the first application based on the second identifier, it can first determine the associated information of the first application based on the second identifier, the associated information at least including the application type of the first application and the application function associated with the first application, and then determine the first application setting item corresponding to the first application based on the associated information.

[0115] In some embodiments, the display apparatus 200 can determine the first application based on the second identifier, and further obtain associated information of the first application, the associated information including at least the type of application (such as games, social media, etc.) and the functions associated with the application, and the application functions can be, for example, a multiplayer online game mode, a social sharing function, etc. After obtaining the associated information of the first application, the display apparatus 200 can determine the setting itemVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P corresponding to the application according to the associated information. For example, if the first application is a game, its setting item can include graphic quality, sound effect options, control methods, etc. If the first application is a social media application, the setting item can include privacy settings, notification preferences, account security, etc. By identifying the associated information of the application and determining the corresponding setting item, the display apparatus 200 can display configuration options related to the application used by the user, improve the usability of the application, and enhance the user experience.

[0116] In some embodiments, after the display apparatus 200 controls the display to display the first setting menu, the display apparatus can also monitor the change state of the signal source type. When the signal source type changes, the display apparatus can record the changed target signal source type, determine the target menu setting item corresponding to the target signal source type, and then control the display 260 to display the setting menu containing the target menu setting item on the user interface.

[0117] In some embodiments, the display apparatus 200 can monitor changes in signal source types, for example, the display apparatus can monitor switching from a digital TV signal to an analog TV signal, or switching from an HDMI input source to a USB input source, and the like. When a change in the signal source type is detected, the display apparatus 200 can record the new signal source type as a target signal source type, and determine a target menu setting item corresponding to the target signal source type.

[0118] For example, FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of a scenario in which a display apparatus displays HDMI according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 11, assuming that when the input signal source corresponding to the content displayed on the user interface changes from Live TV to HDMI, the display apparatus 200 can no longer display the menu setting item corresponding to Live TV, but can control the display 260 to display the menu setting item corresponding to HDMI on the user interface. That is, when the input signal sources are different, the menu setting item corresponding to the input signal sources can be also different, and the display apparatus 200 can display different menu setting item according to different input signal sources.

[0119] In some embodiments, the system function setting item can include basic setting item, which can be used to adjust the system functions of the display apparatus. The display apparatus 200 can also execute the following process: obtain historical operation data of the basic setting item, parseVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P the historical operation data to obtain the usage frequency of the basic setting item, and determine at least one quick setting item according to the usage frequency of the basic setting item, and then control the display 260 to display a second setting menu on the user interface, where the second setting menu can include at least one quick setting item.

[0120] In some embodiments, when obtaining historical operation data of basic setting item, the display apparatus 200 can obtain historical operation data of the basic setting item over a period of time through its built-in logging system or user behavior tracking module. For example, the historical operation data can include brightness adjustment setting item, volume control setting item, network connection setting item, screen mode setting item, etc., and can include the timestamp, operation type, and results of the user's operation on each basic setting item. By obtaining historical operation data of basic setting item, the display apparatus 200 can understand the user's usage habits and preferences. After obtaining the historical operation data, the display apparatus 200 can use a data analysis algorithm (such as a machine learning model, statistical analysis, etc.) to parse the historical operation data. By parsing the collected historical operation data, the display apparatus 200 can calculate the usage frequency of each basic setting item. For example, if the user frequently adjusts the screen brightness or volume, the frequency of use of these basic setting items can be very high. Based on the frequency of use of the basic setting item, the display apparatus 200 can determine at least one or more quick setting item from the basic setting item, and display the quick setting item preferentially in the second setting menu (such as the quick setting menu) so that the user can quickly access them.

[0121] That is to say, the display apparatus 200 can set the basic setting item most frequently used by the user as quick setting item according to the frequency of use of the basic setting item, and place them in a prominent position, which can reduce the user's search and selection time and improve the user's operating efficiency.

[0122] FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of a scenario in which a display apparatus displays a first setting menu and a second setting menu according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 12, in some embodiments, in order to further improve the balance of menu settings on the user interface, the display apparatus 200 can control the display 260 to display the first setting menu and the second setting menu on the user interface.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0123] In some embodiments, still taking the first input signal source as Live TV as an example, the first setting menu can include Channel Search, Edit Channel List, Subtitle, and Audio Language, and the second setting menu can include some commonly used setting item, such as picture mode setting item, volume mode setting item, etc. By displaying the first setting menu and the second setting menu on the user interface, the display apparatus 200 can present the menu setting function of the balanced mode to the user on the user interface, and no longer focus only on the setting item of the basic functions, thereby providing the user with a more friendly interface and solving the problem of unbalanced menu settings on the user interface.

[0124] Continuing with FIG. 12, in order to facilitate presenting a clearer menu setting method to the user, in some embodiments, the display apparatus 200 can divide the menu on the user interface into three parts: the first part is the function entrance All Settings for all basic setting item; the second part is the first setting menu (that is, the setting menu corresponding to the input signal source), the first setting menu can include the first menu setting item corresponding to the input signal source, for example, when the input signal source is Live TV, the unique setting item can be the first menu setting item corresponding to Live TV; the third part is the second setting menu, the second setting menu can include the setting item commonly used by users in the basic setting item, the display apparatus 200 can display the commonly used basic setting item in the second setting menu such as Quick Settings, so that the setting item displayed in the second setting menu are more in line with the user's usage habits.

[0125] It is understandable that the user's usage habits and preferences can change. If the quick setting item remain unchanged, it can be inconvenient for the user to operate in the second setting menu. Based on this, the display apparatus 200 can dynamically adjust the quick setting item in the second setting menu in combination with the user's usage habits and preferences.

[0126] Based on this, in some embodiments, after obtaining the historical operation data of the basic setting item, the display apparatus 200 can further obtain the operation data of the basic setting item, and re-determine at least one quick setting item according to the operation data and the historical operation data.

[0127] In some embodiments, after the display apparatus 200 collects the user's historical operation data on the basic setting item to form quick setting item, the display apparatus can also continuously monitor the user's operation data on the basic setting item. By comparing and analyzing the currentVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P operation data and the historical operation data, the display apparatus can more accurately capture the changing trends of the user's usage habits, and re-determine the quick setting item based on the latest data analysis results, thereby dynamically adjusting the second setting menu on the user interface to better adapt to the user's changing usage habits and preferences, ensure that the second setting menu can be updated in a timely manner, and ensure that the content displayed in the second setting menu is synchronized with user needs.

[0128] In some embodiments, when the display apparatus 200 performs an operation of displaying a first setting menu, the display apparatus can obtain the setting quantity of the first menu setting item. When the setting quantity is less than or equal to a preset quantity, the display 260 can be controlled to display the first setting menu, and can be specifically configured as follows: the display can be controlled to display the first setting menu containing the first menu setting item on the user interface; when the setting quantity is greater than the preset quantity, the display 260 can be controlled to display the first setting menu, and can be specifically configured as follows: the display 260 can be controlled to display the first setting menu on the user interface, and the first setting menu can contain a preset quantity of first menu setting item, and the preset quantity is any number less than or equal to the setting quantity.

[0129] In some embodiments, when the display apparatus 200 obtains the setting quantity of the first menu setting item, the display apparatus can be implemented by reading the signal source configuration information stored in the memory, or by querying a database or a configuration file, or by querying an instruction. The preset quantity can be a threshold value, which can be used to indicate the maximum number of first menu setting item that should be displayed in the first setting menu. The display apparatus 200 can compare the obtained setting quantity of the first menu setting item with the preset quantity. When the setting quantity of the first menu setting item is less than or equal to the preset quantity, taking the preset quantity as 5 as an example, when the preset quantity is less than 5, the display apparatus 200 can display all the first menu setting item in the first setting menu. In this way, the display apparatus 200 can present all the configured first menu setting items to the user on the user interface for the user to view intuitively. When the setting quantity of the first menu setting item is greater than 5, the display apparatus 200 only displays 5 the first menu setting item in the first setting menu. This way, it can avoid overcrowding the interface and make the user interface more concise.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0130] By comparing the setting quantity of the first menu setting item with the preset quantity, the display apparatus 200 can present different display modes in combination with different usage scenarios, and dynamically adjust the display content of the user interface according to the current signal source setting quantity. When there are fewer setting item in the first menu, the display apparatus 200 can present all options to the user at a glance. When there are more setting items in the first menu, the user interface cannot become cluttered due to too many setting item, which can improve the readability of the user interface and enhance the user experience.

[0131] In some embodiments, when the display apparatus 200 controls the display 260 to display a preset quantity of first menu setting item in the first setting menu of the user interface, the first setting menu can also include a first control. FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of the effect of the first control in the first setting menu according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 13, the first setting menu can include a first control 71. In response to an operation instruction to the first control 71, the display apparatus 200 can control the display 260 to display all first menu setting item except a preset quantity of first menu setting item in the first setting menu on the user interface, so that the user can access other first menu setting item that cannot be directly displayed on the user interface because they exceed the preset quantity.

[0132] In some embodiments, taking the preset quantity as 3 and the total setting item as 4 as an example, before the display apparatus 200 receives an operation instruction for the first control 71, 3 first menu setting item and one first control 71 are displayed in the first setting menu. For example, the first operation control can be the controls for displaying other more items. In response to the user's click or touch operation on the first control 71, the display apparatus 200 can generate an operation instruction. In response to the operation instruction, the display apparatus 200 can switch the display mode and display another menu setting item other than the current three menu setting item in the first setting menu, as shown in the dashed box. In this way, the first control 71 can display the entire menu setting item except the preset quantity of menu setting item. When there are a large number of first menu setting item corresponding to the input signal sources, the first control 71 can allow the display apparatus 200 to not display the entire menu setting item at once, but to present an intuitive display method to the user. On the one hand, it can keep the structure of the user interface clear, and on the other hand, it can ensure the integrity of the access to the first menu setting item.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0133] Taking Live TV as an example, FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram of a scenario in which a display apparatus displays Live TV according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 14, before the input signal source of the display apparatus 200 is changed, the first menu setting item corresponding to Live TV can include at least Channel Search, Edit Channel List, Subtitle, and Audio Language. In response to the operation instruction of the more control, a graphic setting item Teletext, a recording list setting item Recording List, a guide setting item Guide, and a channel list setting item Channel List are newly added to the first menu setting item. That is, the display apparatus 200 can display all first menu setting items in the first setting menu.

[0134] FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram of another scenario in which a display apparatus displays Live TV according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 15, in some embodiments, the first setting menu can also include a second control 1401, and the second control can be a Show Less control for folding first menu setting item that exceed a preset quantity. In response to an operation instruction on the second control 1401, the display apparatus 200 can fold other first menu setting item except a preset quantity of first menu setting item in the first setting menu on the user interface. In this way, by folding a preset quantity of first menu setting item, the user interface can return to a clear and concise display mode, which can improve the user experience.

[0135] In some embodiments, before the display apparatus 200 controls the display 260 to display the first setting menu, the processor can also obtain a signal source name included in the first menu setting item, and control the display 260 to display the signal source name at an associated position of the first setting menu.

[0136] In some embodiments, FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram of a scenario in which a display apparatus displays a signal source name at an associated position of a first setting menu according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 16, in order to more intuitively reflect the relevant information of the first menu setting item on the user interface, the display apparatus 200 can first obtain the currently available first menu setting item related information through its internal data management module or external interface (such as a network, storage device), and this information can include but is not limited to the signal source name. For example, this information can also include the signal source number, signal source type (such as HDMI, AV, live broadcast, etc.), current state of the signal source (whether activated, locked), etc. After the display apparatus 200 obtains the relevant information of the first menu setting item, the display apparatus can control theVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P display 260 to display the corresponding signal source name at the associated position of the first setting menu, such as the side or below each first menu setting item, such as the signal source name AAA in FIG. 16. By displaying the signal source name at the associated position of the first setting menu, the display apparatus 200 can ensure that the user can clearly identify each input signal source and the first menu setting item corresponding to the input signal source, and can quickly locate the desired target first menu setting item based on relevant information such as the signal source name, thereby improving the readability of the first setting menu and user convenience. In addition, clear signal source names and intuitive layout design also help reduce user errors and improve user experience.

[0137] In some embodiments, the display apparatus 200 can control the display 260 to determine the usage state of the basic setting item before the user interface displays the second setting menu; the usage state can include an adjustable state and an non-adjustable state; among which, the adjustable state can be understood as a basic setting item being in an usable state. For example, the setting parameters of the basic setting item can be adjusted. The non-adjustable state is the opposite, where a certain basic setting item is in an unavailable state. For example, the setting parameters of the basic setting item cannot be adjusted. The display apparatus 200 can control the display 260 to display a second setting menu on the user interface, and can be specifically configured as follows: controlling the display 260 to display the first quick setting item whose usage state is an adjustable state in the second setting menu of the user interface, and setting the display form of the first quick setting item to the first display form; controlling the display 260 to display the second quick setting item whose usage state is an non-adjustable state in the second setting menu on the user interface, and setting the display form of the second quick setting item to the second display form, and setting the second quick setting item to an non-triggered state. For example, the non-triggered state can be that the system does not support adjustment of the setting parameters of the quick setting item, such as the setting parameters are in an unusable state.

[0138] In some embodiments, before preparing to display the second setting menu, the display apparatus 200 can first analyze the content being displayed on the current user interface or the user's current operating environment, so that the display apparatus 200 can adjust the usage state of its corresponding basic setting item. When determining the usage state of basic setting item, the display apparatus 200 can combine preset rules or algorithms. The rules or algorithms can be set inVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P combination with the operating environment, hardware, software configuration, etc. of the display apparatus 200. The application does not make any specific limitations on this. For example, if the user is watching a high-definition movie, the settings related to picture quality (such as brightness and contrast) can be in an adjustable state. If only one signal source is currently available, the settings related to signal source switching are not adjustable.

[0139] After the use state is determined, the display apparatus 200 can display the quick setting item differently according to different use states. FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram of the effect of displaying quick setting item on a display apparatus according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 17, when the display apparatus 200 displays the second setting menu on the user interface, the first quick setting item in an adjustable state can be displayed in the second setting menu and presented in a first display form, indicating that the first quick setting item is in an adjustable and interactive state. For example, the first display form can be a highlighted display form. When the display apparatus 200 displays the second quick setting item in a non-adjustable state in the second setting menu on the user interface, the display apparatus can be presented in a second display form, indicating that the second quick setting item is in a non-adjustable and non-interactive state. For example, the second display form can be the grayed-out form shown in FIG. 17. The display apparatus 200 can help users quickly distinguish which setting item are adjustable and which are not adjustable by displaying quick setting item in a differentiated manner, so that users do not need to search for required functions in irrelevant or unavailable setting item, thereby saving time and reducing operational complexity.

[0140] In some embodiments, before the display apparatus 200 controls the display 260 to display the first setting menu on the user interface, the display apparatus can also determine the usage state of the first menu setting item, and the usage state can include an adjustable state and a non- adjustable state. Then, when the display apparatus 200 executes control of the display 260 to display the first setting menu on the user interface, the display apparatus can control the display 260 to display the first menu setting item with a usage state of an adjustable state in the first setting menu on the user interface, and set the display form of the first menu setting item to the third display form; and control the display 260 not to display the second menu setting item with a usage state of a non- adjustable state in the first setting menu on the user interface.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0141] In some embodiments, before preparing to display the first setting menu, the display apparatus 200 can also analyze the content currently displayed on the user interface or the user's current operating environment, so that the display apparatus 200 can adjust the usage state of the corresponding first menu setting item. When determining the usage state of the first menu setting item, the display apparatus 200 can also combine the input signal source related information, preset rules or algorithms. The rules or algorithms can be set in combination with the operating environment, hardware, software configuration, etc. of the display apparatus 200, and the application does not make any specific limitations on this. After the use state is determined, the display apparatus 200 can display the first menu setting item differently according to different use states.

[0142] FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram of the effect of displaying the first menu setting item on a display apparatus according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 18, when the display apparatus 200 displays the first setting menu on the user interface, the display apparatus can only display the first menu setting item in an adjustable state, and present it in a third display form, indicating that the first menu setting item is in an adjustable and interactive state. The third display form can be the same as the first display form, for example, can also be a highlight form. For menu setting item that are in a non-adjustable state, the display apparatus 200 cannot display these setting item, such as hiding the menu setting item in the non-adjustable state. By displaying the first menu setting item in a differentiated manner, the display apparatus 200 can ensure that the user only sees the first menu setting item that are relevant to the current situation and can be adjusted, and hides the menu setting item that cannot be adjusted, thereby making the user interface more concise and clear, avoiding the user from trying to modify the first menu setting item that cannot be changed, and improving the user experience.

[0143] That is to say, for non-adjustable and non-interactive basic setting item such as quick setting item, the display apparatus 200 can gray out these basic setting items. For non-adjustable and non- interactive first menu setting item (such as signal source setting item), the display apparatus 200 can hide these non-adjustable menu setting items to improve the user experience. It should be noted that the above is merely an exemplary description, and in some embodiments, the display apparatus 200 can also hide non-adjustable and non-interactive basic setting item. Similarly, the display apparatus 200 can also gray out non-adjustable and non-interactive menu setting item. The application does not make any specific limitations on this.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0144] In some embodiments, according to the usage scenario of the second setting menu, each quick setting item in the second setting menu can be set. For example, when the focus moves to a specific quick setting item, if the current quick setting item can be directly set, such as mode selection, switch option, etc., the display apparatus 200 can directly perform relevant settings on the quick setting item, as illustrated below.

[0145] FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram of the audio mode switching effect under the second setting menu according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 19, the second setting menu can include an Audio Only mode setting item that only plays audio without loading video images. This mode can allow users to enjoy music, movies, TV series and other media content through audio only without watching video images. In response to the operation instruction of Audio Only, the display apparatus 200 can only play the audio and cannot display the picture. For example, the picture content can be set to a black screen mode or other preset mode. When the video playback mode is to be restored, the display apparatus 200 can call out the video again by pressing a confirmation button or other methods to restore normal playback.

[0146] FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram of the picture mode switching effect under the second setting menu according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 20, the second setting menu can include a picture mode setting item. In response to a confirmation instruction for the Picture Mode setting item, such as in response to the user pressing the OK button on the remote control, or a confirmation instruction on the touch screen, the display apparatus 200 can jump to the detailed setting interface corresponding to the setting item according to the current setting item. For example, in response to the confirmation instruction, the display apparatus 200 can jump from the Picture Mode setting item to the picture mode setting interface, which can provide more detailed settings for the user. When the user completes the settings, in response to a return instruction, such as the return instruction of the return button on the remote control after the user completes the settings on the settings interface, or the return instruction of the user on the touch screen, the display apparatus 200 can return to the interface before the second setting menu executes the settings for the quick setting item.

[0147] In some embodiments, the display apparatus 200 can detect the sound input mode corresponding to the sound mode setting item, and when it is detected that the sound input mode is an input mode of a sound bar device, the sound mode setting category is changed to an equalizerVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P mode. That is, if it is detected that the current sound input mode is Sound Bar, the display apparatus 200 can automatically change the sound mode setting category to the equalizer EQ Mode.

[0148] For example, as a sound bar device, the sound output characteristics of Sound Bar are different from those of ordinary speakers, and the sound quality needs to be optimized by adjusting the equalizer settings. Therefore, in order to improve the sound quality, the display apparatus 200 can automatically change the sound mode setting category to the equalizer mode after detecting that the sound input method is the input method of the sound bar device. FIG. 21 is a schematic diagram of the sound mode switching effect under the second setting menu according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 21, the second setting menu can include a Sound Mode setting item. In response to a confirmation instruction for the sound mode setting item, such as in response to the user pressing the OK button on the remote control, or a confirmation instruction on the touch screen, the display apparatus 200 can jump to the detailed setting interface corresponding to the setting item according to the current setting item. For example, in response to the confirmation instruction, the display apparatus 200 can jump from the Sound Mode setting item to the Sound Mode setting interface, which can provide the user with more detailed settings. By adjusting the equalizer settings, the display apparatus 200 can optimize the sound output characteristics of the Sound Bar to make the sound quality clearer and more natural to adapt to different usage scenarios. When the user completes the settings, in response to a return instruction, such as the return instruction of the return button on the remote control after the user completes the settings on the settings interface, or the return instruction of the user on the touch screen, the display apparatus 200 can return to the interface before the second setting menu executes the settings for the quick setting item.

[0149] FIG. 22 is a schematic diagram of the Bluetooth mode switching effect under the second setting menu according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 22, the second setting menu can include a Bluetooth mode setting item, and the Bluetooth mode setting item can be set to an on or off mode. In an initial state, the Bluetooth can be in an off mode, and in response to switching of the Bluetooth mode, the Bluetooth mode can be changed to a switched on mode, that is, an on mode. For example, the switching method can be an up or down direction switch key in the remote control. When the original mode is the off mode, the up direction key or the down direction key on the remote control is used to switch to the on mode. When the original mode is theVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P on mode, the up direction key or the down direction key on the remote control is used to switch to the off mode.

[0150] When the Bluetooth mode is turn on, in response to a confirmation instruction for a Bluetooth mode setting item, such as in response to a user pressing an OK button on a remote control or a confirmation instruction on a touch screen, the display apparatus 200 can jump to a device list interface corresponding to the setting item according to the current setting item. For example, FIG. 23 is a schematic diagram of the setting of the Bluetooth device list interface under the second setting menu according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 23, when the Bluetooth is turned on, in response to the confirmation instruction of the Bluetooth mode setting item, the display apparatus 200 can jump from the Bluetooth mode setting item to the Bluetooth device list interface of device management. This interface can illustrate the paired devices and display the corresponding configuration state of each device.

[0151] When Bluetooth is turn off, in response to a confirmation instruction for a Bluetooth mode setting item, such as in response to a user pressing an OK button on a remote control or a confirmation instruction on a touch screen, the display apparatus 200 can jump to a detailed setting interface corresponding to the setting item according to the current setting item. For example, FIG. 24 is a schematic diagram of the interface settings of the Bluetooth mode under the second setting menu according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 24, when the Bluetooth is turn off, in response to the confirmation instruction of the Bluetooth mode setting item, the display apparatus 200 can jump from the Bluetooth mode setting item to the Bluetooth setting interface. In this interface, the display apparatus 200 can respond to the user's settings for Bluetooth, remote control automatic pairing, Bluetooth devices, music sharing, etc., and perform corresponding functions according to the corresponding settings. When the user completes the settings, in response to a return instruction, such as the return instruction of the return button on the remote control after the user completes the settings on the settings interface, or the return instruction of the user on the touch screen, the display apparatus 200 can return to the interface before the second setting menu executes the settings for the quick setting item, such as returning to the interface shown in FIG. 22.

[0152] In order to facilitate users to edit the quick setting item in the second setting menu, the application provides two editing methods, which are described below respectively.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0153] In some embodiments, after the display apparatus 200 controls the display 260 to display the second setting menu on the user interface, in response to a selection instruction for the target setting item, the display apparatus can display movement prompt information for the target setting item, where the target setting item can be a shortcut setting item in the second setting menu; in response to a first movement instruction for the target setting item, the target setting item can be moved in the target movement direction indicated by the first movement instruction according to the movement prompt information to adjust the position of the target setting item in the second setting menu.

[0154] In some embodiments, FIG. 25 is a schematic diagram of the adjustment scenario of the target setting item in the second setting menu of the display apparatus according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 25, the target setting item can be any quick setting item in the second setting menu, and the selection instruction can be a long press instruction. Taking the target setting item as the picture mode setting item Picture Mode as an example, in response to the long press instruction of the picture mode setting item where the focus point is located, the display apparatus 200 can display the movement prompt information of Picture Mode as shown in FIG. 25. In some embodiments, the mobile prompt information can be a highlight box, arrow pointing or text description, etc., to indicate the user's current mobile operations that can be performed on the setting item. That is, the mobile prompt information can be used to convey to the user the next operation that can be performed, thereby improving the user's operating efficiency. For example, for Picture Mode, the prompt information can be upward movement prompt information or rightward movement prompt information. In response to a first movement instruction to the target setting item, such as a drag gesture, direction key input, etc., the display apparatus 200 can adjust the position of the target setting item along the target movement direction indicated by the first movement instruction, thereby adjusting the position of the target setting item in the second setting menu.

[0155] When adjusting the quick setting item in the second setting menu, adjustment rules can be preset. Continuing with FIG. 25, the target setting item selected by the current selection instruction can be Picture Mode, and the current Picture Mode is in the displayed item list. In response to a long press instruction for Picture Mode, the display apparatus 200 can obtain the moving direction of Picture Mode. If the moving direction is upward, the adjustment rule can be that the displayVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P apparatus 200 moves the target setting item from the displayed item to the more item list More Items shown in FIG. 25. The more items can correspond to the list under the More control. In response to a save instruction for the adjustment, such as responding to the OK button on the remote control, the display apparatus 200 can control the display 260 to directly return to the second setting menu, and cannot display Picture Mode in the second setting menu. At the same time, the focus can be switched to Sound Mode behind Picture Mode, as shown in FIG. 26.

[0156] In some embodiments, continuing with FIG. 25, the display apparatus 200 can switch the focus in the quick setting item. For example, the focus can be switched by using the left and right keys on the remote control, from the focus in Picture Mode to Sound Mode. After the focus switching is completed, the display apparatus 200 can adjust the position of the quick setting item in the second setting menu according to the movement prompt information. For example, in response to a long press instruction on Sound Mode, if it is detected that the moving direction is moving to the left, the display apparatus 200 can switch Sound Mode to the left side of Picture Mode to adjust the position of the quick setting item in the second setting menu.

[0157] It can be understood that the displayed item list can be the quick setting item that are displayed in the second setting menu, and the "More Items" list can be the quick setting item that are hidden in the second setting menu. They can be associated under the More control, and in response to the triggering event of the More control, these hidden quick setting item can be fully presented. In this way, the user can customize the display content of the second setting menu according to actual needs, which can make the second setting menu concise and meet the personalized needs of the user.

[0158] FIG. 27 is a schematic diagram of a scenario in which a display apparatus provides prompt information for a quick setting item according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 27, for the second setting menu, in some embodiments, in response to moving to the first position of a quick setting item for the first time, or when the user has not edited the quick setting item according to the previous prompt within a period of time, the display apparatus can display a prompt message on the user interface, and the prompt message can be used to prompt the user to edit the quick setting item by long pressing the OK button light, that is, to edit a single quick setting item. The prompt information can be displayed in a pop-up message, floating window or other forms, and the application does not make any specific limitations on this. In this way, through theVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P prompt information, the display apparatus 200 can guide the user to adjust a specific quick setting item to meet the user's personalized needs.

[0159] The above is an editing method for the quick setting item in the second setting menu. In this editing method, in response to a selection instruction for a target setting item, a quick edit can be performed on the target setting item to adjust the display or hiding state of the target setting item in the second setting menu. For example, by long pressing the OK key for a certain target setting item, the target setting item can be edited.

[0160] In some other embodiments, the second setting menu can also include editing controls. FIG. 28 is another scenario schematic diagram of the display apparatus adjusting the target setting item in the second setting menu according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 28, in some embodiments, after the display apparatus 200 controls the display 260 to display the second setting menu on the user interface, in response to an instruction to the editing control, the display apparatus 200 can determine the target focus position corresponding to the instruction, and confirm the target setting item corresponding to the target focus position, and in response to the editing instruction to the target setting item, move the target setting item in the target moving direction indicated by the editing instruction to adjust the position of the target setting item in the second setting menu.

[0161] In some embodiments, the second setting menu can include an editing control 2801. When there are many quick setting items that need to be edited, the editing function of all quick setting items can be implemented through the editing control 2801. When the user triggers the editing control 2801 on the user interface, the display apparatus 200 can generate an instruction for the editing control 2801. In response to the instruction, the display apparatus 200 can determine which position is the target focus that the user wants to operate based on the current state of the user interface, that is, determine the target focus position corresponding to the instruction. After the target focus position is determined, the display apparatus 200 can identify the quick setting item corresponding to the position. In response to an editing instruction issued by the user for a selected target setting item, the display apparatus 200 can adjust the position of the target setting item along the target moving direction indicated by the editing instruction, thereby adjusting the position of the target setting item in the second setting menu.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0162] FIG. 29 is a schematic diagram of the effect of adjusting the target setting item in the second setting menu of the display apparatus according to some embodiments of the present application. Combined with FIG. 28 and FIG. 29, in FIG. 28, Picture Mode is in More Item and is in a hidden state. In response to triggering the editing control 2801, the display apparatus 200 can obtain the moving direction of the Picture Mode. If the moving direction is the downward movement shown by the arrow, the preset adjustment rule can be that the display apparatus 200 moves the target setting item Picture Mode from the More Items list to the Displayed items list. In response to an instruction to save the adjustment, such as in response to an OK button on the remote control, the display apparatus 200 can control the display 260 to directly return to the second setting menu and display Picture Mode in the second setting menu, as shown in FIG. 29. In this way, the user can customize the display content of the second setting menu according to actual needs, which can make the second setting menu concise and meet the personalized needs of the user.

[0163] FIG. 30 is another scenario schematic diagram of a display apparatus providing prompt information for quick setting item according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 30, in some embodiments, the second setting menu can also include an editing control. Similarly, in response to the first move to the first position of the quick setting item, or when the user has not edited the quick setting item according to the previous prompt within a period of time, the display apparatus can display a prompt message on the user interface. The prompt message can be used to prompt the user that the user can edit all quick setting item through the editing control, which is different from the aforementioned selection instruction. The selection instruction is to edit a single quick setting item. The prompt information can also be displayed through a pop-up message, a floating window or other forms, and the application does not make specific limitations on this. In this way, through the prompt information, the display apparatus 200 can guide the user to adjust all the quick setting items to meet the user's personalized needs.

[0164] The above is another editing method for the quick setting item in the second setting menu. In this editing method, in response to an instruction for the editing control, quick editing can be performed on all quick setting items to adjust the display or hiding state of multiple quick setting items in the second setting menu. It can edit a quick setting item by moving it to the corresponding displayed item list, such as Displayed Items or More Items.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0165] In some embodiments, after the display apparatus 200 controls the display 260 to display the second setting menu on the user interface, in response to a second movement instruction of the first setting item where the focus is located, when the second movement instruction indicates a first direction, the focus can be moved from the first setting item to a target setting item corresponding to the second movement instruction; the first setting item can be a quick setting item before the focus moves or any one of the first menu setting items; the target setting item can be a quick setting item after the focus moves or any one of the first menu setting items; when the second movement instruction indicates a second direction, the first parameter corresponding to the first setting item can be adjusted according to the second direction.

[0166] In some embodiments, FIG. 31 is a schematic diagram of a scenario in which a display apparatus adjusts the focus position according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 31, in some embodiments, the first setting item can be any one of the quick setting items or the first menu setting items. Taking the first setting item as HDMI Format and the second movement instruction as a horizontal movement instruction as an example, in response to the horizontal movement instruction of the HDMI Format where the focus point is located, when the horizontal movement instruction indicates a right direction, the display apparatus 200 can move the focus from the HDMI Format to the corresponding target setting item on the right. Taking the target setting item as Picture Mode as an example, the display apparatus 200 can change the focus from HDMI Format to Picture Mode.

[0167] FIG. 32 is a schematic diagram of a scenario in which a display apparatus adjusts setting item parameters according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 32, in some embodiments, the second movement instruction can be a vertical movement instruction. Taking the first setting item as Picture Mode and the second direction as the downward direction as an example, in response to the downward direction instruction of the Picture Mode where the focus point is located, the display apparatus 200 can adjust the parameters corresponding to the Picture Mode.

[0168] That is, the display apparatus 200 can move the focus between the first setting menu and the second setting menu through the movement instruction to adjust the position of the focus. At the same time, the parameters corresponding to the quick setting item or the first menu setting item can also be adjusted according to the movement instruction.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0169] In some embodiments, the parameters corresponding to the quick setting item or the first menu setting item, that is, the configuration data, can be pre-configured. The configuration data can include the operation path of the quick setting item or the first menu setting item, such as the interface path to open the interface where a certain setting item (quick setting item or first menu setting item) is located, and related interface information of the setting item, such as the interface name, interface content, etc. It can also include the parent-level options of the selected setting item, as well as the setting rules of the parent-level options, the setting rules of the setting item itself, etc.

[0170] In some embodiments, the configuration data of the quick setting item or the first menu setting item can be configured in a tree data structure, in which the tree is composed of nodes, and each node can be connected to other nodes to form a hierarchical relationship. The topmost node of the tree is called the root node, and each node can have any number of child nodes. Except for the root node, each node has a parent node, and child nodes can have their own child nodes, forming a branching and hierarchical structure. When setting the configuration data of the quick setting item or the first menu setting item, the configuration data of each setting item can be set according to the function category.

[0171] FIG. 33 is a schematic diagram of the hierarchical structure of display apparatus configuration data according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 33, in some embodiments, the configuration data can be configured into multiple node levels using a tree-like data structure, and each node level can include one or more data nodes. In some embodiments, a first-level node can include images and sounds, and the images and sounds each have their own child nodes (second-level nodes). In the second-level nodes, the level data of each node can include a node name, a node list, and multiple nodes, such as second-level node 1, second-level node 2, etc. Each node in the second-level node can have its own third-level node. For the image-level node, the level data of the third-level node corresponding to its corresponding second-level node 1 can also include a node name, a node list, and multiple nodes, such as third-level node 1, third-level node 2, etc. The level data of the third-level node corresponding to the second-level node 2 of the image can also include a node name, a node list, and multiple nodes, such as the third-level node 1, the third-level node 2, and the like. The configuration of each setting item can be configured according to actual needs, and the application does not make any specific limitations.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0172] In some embodiments, the level data of each node can be configured as follows. The level data can be a required parameter, which is used to set the level data and is the default data of the child node of the previous level. Each node can also include levell nit, which is mainly used to initialize the configuration data to call the underlying interface to accurately determine whether the setting options are available. The configuration of the second level node and the third level node can be configured according to actual needs. For example, the second level node can be each quick setting item in the second setting menu, and the third level node can be the setting parameters in each quick setting item, etc. The application does not make any specific limitations on this.

[0173] In order to facilitate further understanding of the technical solution of the present application, the above process is summarized and explained below in combination with actual usage scenarios and timing diagrams.

[0174] FIGS. 34A to 34C are a timing diagram of a setting method for executing setting item of a display apparatus according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIGS. 34A to 34C, in order to solve the problem of unbalanced menu settings on the user interface, a quick setting module, an application performance management module, an application control system, a local storage module, a setting service module, an input source data module, setting data and a TV setting system can be provided in the display apparatus 200.

[0175] When an application exists based on the current input signal source, the display apparatus 200 can give priority to displaying the application setting menu. When no application exists, the display apparatus 200 can display the first setting menu corresponding to the input signal source. In response to the switching instruction of the input signal source, the display apparatus 200 can determine the existence state of the application based on whether the input content is received. When an application exists, the setting menu of the application and the setting item corresponding to the application can be displayed first. When no application exists, the display apparatus 200 can control the display 260 to display the menu and setting item corresponding to the input signal source.

[0176] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 34A to 34C, for the first menu setting item (signal source setting item) in the first setting menu (such as the signal source setting menu), in response to the user opening the quick setting interface, the quick setting module can capture the operation behavior, the application performance management module can obtain the current input source such as Source, and transmit it to the application performance management module, and the applicationVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P performance management module can return the input source. If the input source is an application APP, the application control system can obtain information such as the name, return the application information, and control the display 260 to display the application setting menu and the setting item corresponding to the application. If it is not an application, the first menu setting item corresponding to the current input source can be obtained through the input source data module, and the first menu setting item is returned to the quick setting module. Afterwards, the quick setting module can filter the first menu setting item according to the real-time state, for example, the non-adjustable ones can be hidden, and only the adjustable menu setting item cab be displayed in the first setting menu.

[0177] For the quick setting item in the second setting menu (such as the quick setting menu), the local storage module can obtain the basic setting item edited by the user and return the edited basic setting item to the quick setting module. The setting service module can obtain detailed information for each basic setting item and feedback the detailed information to the quick setting module. At the same time, the setting service module and the setting data module can query the information of the corresponding setting item. The quick setting module can generate a basic setting item display list based on the detailed information returned by the setting service module, generate at least one quick setting item based on the frequency of use of the basic setting item, and control the display state or hide state of the quick setting item.

[0178] After the first menu setting item in the first setting menu and the quick setting item in the second setting menu are determined, the display apparatus 200 can combine the first menu setting item, quick setting item and basic setting item (such as All Settings) corresponding to the input source and display them on the user interface, so that the menu settings on the user interface are richer and more balanced.

[0179] For the adjustment of the first menu setting item or the quick setting item, for the adjustment of all setting item, by triggering the editing control, the setting service module can find the corresponding setting item to be adjusted, and at the same time, the setting service module and the setting data module can find the data link corresponding to the setting item, such as configuration data, and the TV setting system can open the correct location corresponding to the setting item according to the configuration data. For adjustment of a single setting item, it can enter the quick setting mode by selecting a instruction such as long pressing a instruction, and the local storage module can display different setting item through more lists and display lists. The quick settingVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P module can be moved according to the interface prompt information. In response to a confirmation instruction, such as the OK key, the local storage can save the corresponding settings, exit the quick editing mode, and refresh the corresponding setting item list.

[0180] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the above embodiment provides a display apparatus 200, which can open an application interface corresponding to the first application in response to an instruction for opening a first application, where the first application can include a first identifier and a second identifier; determine a first application setting item corresponding to the first application according to the second identifier; controls the display to display a first application setting menu including a first application setting item in response to an instruction for opening a setting menu; in response to an instruction for switching signal sources from a user, switch to the second signal source, determine the signal source type corresponding to the second signal source, and determine the first menu setting item according to the signal source type; when the second signal source does not receive input content, in response to the instruction for opening the setting menu, control the display to display the first setting menu; where the first setting menu can include the first menu setting item. The display apparatus 200 can present a menu setting function in a balanced mode on the user interface, thereby solving the problem of unbalanced menu settings on the user interface. In addition, by displaying the first setting menu and the second setting menu on the user interface, the menu setting function of the balanced mode can be presented to the user on the user interface, and the focus is no longer only on the setting item of the basic functions, thereby providing the user with a more friendly interface and making the menu settings more balanced.

[0181] Based on the above-mentioned display apparatus 200, some embodiments of the present application further provide a method for setting a setting item, which can be applied to the display apparatus 200 in the above-mentioned embodiments. In some embodiments, the method can include the following: in response to an instruction for launching a first application, opening an application interface corresponding to the first application, where the first application is provided with a first identifier and a second identifier; where the first identifier is used to represent a running state of the first application; and the second identifier is used to represent associated information of the first application;VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P determining a first application setting item corresponding to the first application according to the second identifier of the first application; in response to an instruction for opening a setting menu, controlling the display to display a first application setting menu on the user interface; where the first application setting menu includes the first application setting item; and the first application setting item is a system function setting item associated with the first application; in response to a signal source switching instruction from a user, switching to a second signal source, determine a signal source type corresponding to the second signal source, and determining a first menu setting item according to the signal source type; where the first menu setting item is a setting item associated with the signal source type; and based on that the second signal source does not receive any input content, in response to an instruction for opening a setting menu, controlling the display to display a first setting menu; where the first setting menu includes the first menu setting item.

[0182] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the above embodiments provide a method for setting a setting item, which can present a menu setting function in a balanced mode on the user interface, thereby solving the problem of unbalanced menu settings on the user interface. In addition, by displaying the first setting menu and the second setting menu on the user interface, the menu setting function of the balanced mode can be presented to the user on the user interface, and the focus is no longer only on the setting item of the basic functions, thereby providing the user with a more friendly interface and making the menu settings more balanced.

[0183] In some usage scenarios, the settings of the setting menu cannot be limited to the above embodiments. For example, taking the execution of instructions for the setting menu through the remote control as an example, the above embodiments can be more suitable for the case where there is only one setting button in the remote control, but some display apparatuses 200 can have two setting buttons. For this scenario, it is also necessary to enable this part of the display apparatus 200 to execute the setting of the setting item.

[0184] Based on this, some embodiments of the present application further provide a display apparatus 200, which can include a display 260 and a processor 250 coupled to the display 260 . The display 260 can be configured to display a user interface, and the processor 250 can enable theVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P display apparatus 200 to execute a setting method of a setting item by running a specific computer execution instruction. The display apparatus 200 can perform the following process: in response to an instruction for opening a first application, opening an application interface corresponding to the first application, where the first application is provided with a first identifier and a second identifier; where the first identifier is used to represent a running state of the first application; and the second identifier is used to represent associated information of the first application; determining a first application setting item corresponding to the first application according to the second identifier of the first application; in response to a first setting instruction, controlling the display to display a first application setting menu; where the first application setting menu can include the first application setting item; and the first application setting item is a system function setting item associated with the first application; setting a current focus to the first application setting item in the first application setting menu; in response to a second setting instruction, controlling the display to display a system setting menu on the user interface; in response to a switching instruction from a user to switch to a second signal source, determining a signal source type corresponding to the second signal source, and determining a first menu setting item according to the signal source type; where the first menu setting item is a setting item associated with the signal source type; based on that the second signal source does not receive any input content, in response to a third setting instruction, controlling the display to display a first setting menu; where the first setting menu includes the first menu setting item; and setting the current focus to the first application setting item in the first application setting menu; in response to a fourth setting instruction, controlling the display to display a system setting menu on the user interface.

[0185] From the above content, it can be seen that in response to the instruction for opening the first application, the application interface corresponding to the first application can be opened, which is the same as the previous embodiments. The difference from the previous embodiments is thatVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P after opening the application setting menu, the execution process and effects corresponding to its settings are different.

[0186] Taking the existence of two setting scenarios as an example, for example, the two setting scenarios can be Menu and Setting of the remote control respectively. If the first setting instruction corresponds to the Menu button, then in response to the first setting instruction, the display apparatus 200 can display the first application setting menu and set the current focus on the first setting item in the first application setting menu. If the second setting instruction corresponds to the Setting button, then in response to the second setting instruction, the display apparatus 200 can directly present the setting interface for all basic setting items to the user, that is, can display the system setting menu. When the second signal source does not receive input content, taking the third setting instruction corresponding to the Menu as an example, in response to the third setting instruction, the display apparatus 200 can control the display 260 to display the menu corresponding to the current input signal source and the setting item corresponding to the input signal source, and at the same time, set the focus on the first signal source setting item. Taking the fourth setting instruction corresponding to Setting as an example, in response to the fourth setting instruction, the display apparatus 200 can directly present the setting interface for all basic setting item to the user.

[0187] The above embodiments are just exemplifications of two setting scenarios corresponding to the remote control. In actual usage scenarios, voice settings or other methods can also be used, and the application does not make specific limitations on this. When the input signal source does not receive input content, the display apparatus 200 cannot only focus on the setting item of basic functions, such as volume adjustment, brightness adjustment, etc., but also display the setting item of unique functions for specific scenarios, such as the setting item under different input signal sources (such as HDMI, AV, etc.), etc., thereby solving the problem of unbalanced menu settings in the current user interface and improving the user experience.

[0188] Based on the display apparatus 200 in the above embodiments, some embodiments of the present application further provide a method for setting a setting item, which can be applied to the display apparatus 200 in the above embodiments. In some embodiments, the method can include the following: in response to an instruction for opening a first application, opening an application interface corresponding to the first application, where the first application is provided with a first identifier andVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P a second identifier; the first identifier is used to represent a running state of the first application; and the second identifier is used to represent associated information of the first application; determining a first application setting item corresponding to the first application according to the second identifier of the first application; in response to a first setting instruction, controlling the display to display a first application setting menu; where the first application setting menu can include the first application setting item; and the first application setting item is a system function setting item associated with the first application; setting a current focus to the first application setting item in the first application setting menu; in response to a second setting instruction, controlling the display to display a system setting menu on the user interface; in response to a switching instruction from a user to switch to a second signal source, determining a signal source type corresponding to the second signal source, and determining a first menu setting item according to the signal source type; where the first menu setting item is a setting item associated with the signal source type; based on that the second signal source does not receive any input content, in response to a third setting instruction, controlling the display to display a first setting menu; where the first setting menu includes the first menu setting item; and setting the current focus to the first application setting item in the first application setting menu; in response to a fourth setting instruction, controlling the display to display a system setting menu on the user interface.

[0189] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the above embodiments provide a method for setting a setting item. When the input signal source does not receive input content, the method cannot only focus on the setting item of basic functions, such as volume adjustment, brightness adjustment, etc., but also display the setting item of unique functions for specific scenarios, such as setting item under different input signal sources (such as HDMI, AV, etc.), etc., thereby solving the problem of unbalanced menu settings in the current user interface and improving the user experience.

[0190] In addition, in related art, with the development of smart TVs, the channels that TVs can receive are becoming increasingly rich. For example, both broadcast channels and network channelsVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P can provide a large number of TV programs. With the development of smart TVs, the use of TVs is becoming more convenient, channel category is clearer, and it can better meet the usage habits of different users. However, traditional TV channels are unable to decipher the current channel's category in the stream, making it impossible to classify and process traditional channels. However, online channels can be classified and displayed according to signal source types, which cannot be better integrated with traditional channels, thereby reducing user viewing rates.

[0191] In the display apparatus provided in the embodiments of the present application, the processor is further configured to execute computer instructions S410 to S440 to drive the display apparatus.

[0192] S410, in response to a first switching instruction input by a user, obtain a network channel list and a broadcast channel list of a current channel format, where the broadcast channel list can include broadcast channels and corresponding broadcast channel categories.

[0193] Among them, the channel format can include at least the Cable format and the Antenna format The Cable format refers to the signal transmission standard used by Cable Television (CATV), and the Antenna format refers to the technical standards and specifications followed in the design and manufacture of antennas.

[0194] It should be noted that since the channel IDs of different channel formats are independently encoded, there can be channels with the same channel ID in different channel formats. The current channel format can refer to the channel format that the display apparatus is receiving or enabling. If the display apparatus simultaneously receives broadcast channels of multiple channel formats, the user can be required to first switch to the broadcast channel list of a certain channel format, and then respond to the first switching instruction input by the user.

[0195] In some embodiments, if the display apparatus only receives broadcast channels of one channel format, the processor can respond to a first switching instruction input by the user when the display displays any interface; as shown in FIG. 36, if the display apparatus simultaneously receives broadcast channels of multiple channel formats, and the content currently displayed on the display interface can be a broadcast channel list under one of the channel formats, the processor can responds to the first switching instruction input by the user; as shown in FIG. 37, if the display apparatus simultaneously receives broadcast channels of multiple channel formats, and the content currently displayed on the display interface is not a broadcast channel list, the processor can drive theVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P display to display a first prompt message on the display interface to prompt the user to switch to the interface of the broadcast channel list, such as the first prompt message is: Please select the broadcast channel list you want to merge to determine the current channel format.

[0196] S420: determine a first list according to the current channel format, where the first list is an empty list having at least two category columns.

[0197] As shown in FIG. 38, it is an embodiment of the first list according to the present application. The category columns in the figure include recommendation, travel, movie, entertainment and sports. The category column of movie is in the expanded state and the channel content is empty. It should be noted that the first list can adopt the broadcast channel list under the current channel format, or modify the broadcast channel list under the current channel format to obtain the first list. In some embodiments, all broadcast channels in the broadcast channel list are cleared and only the category column of the broadcast channel list is retained to obtain the first list in the form of an empty list. It can also be improved on this basis, for example, splitting or merging category columns, deleting or adding category columns. Of course, in the actual process, the content and / or form of the broadcast channel list can also be referred to create a new first list.

[0198] S430, based on the broadcast channel categories, assign the broadcast channels to corresponding category columns in the first list, and assign network channels in the network channel list to corresponding category columns in the first list to obtain a second list.

[0199] Among them, there is at least one category column in the second list that includes broadcast channels and network channels, and the channel types of broadcast channels or network channels under the same category column are the same type. For example, as shown in FIG. 39, in the movie category column, the included network channels and broadcast channels are all channels of the movie type. In actual application, broadcast channels and network channels can be represented by channel IDs, which can be replaced by channel names or channel IDs.

[0200] In some embodiments, the sorting method of multiple channels under the same category column can be arranged according to the principle of broadcast channels first and network channels last; or, according to the principle of network channels first and broadcast channels last; or, in order to further increase the viewing rate of network channels, broadcast channels and network channels are arranged alternately; or, broadcast channels or network channels are arranged in order according to the ratings of the channels.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0201] S440: drive the display to display a second list on the user interface.

[0202] By displaying a second list on the display interface, where the second list has at least one category column that integrates broadcast channels and network channels, when a user watches channel programs, they can switch between broadcast channels and network channels without switching the display interface. In particular, network channels and broadcast channels under the same category column are channels of the same type. When a user is interested in a certain type of program, the user can be directed to the network program through the broadcast channel, thereby increasing the viewing rate of the network channel. Similarly, the user can also be directed to the broadcast program through the network channel.

[0203] In some embodiments, before obtaining the broadcast channel list of the current channel format in response to the first switching instruction input by the user, as shown in FIG. 40, the processor is further configured to execute S910 to S930.

[0204] S910, in response to a channel search instruction input by the user, obtain channel information of broadcast channels corresponding to the current channel format; and obtain a categories list of the broadcast channels, where the categories list of the broadcast channels includes broadcast channel categories.

[0205] It should be noted that, in actual application, if the channel search instruction of the display apparatus needs to be input in a specific interface, for example, the user needs to switch the display interface to the interface corresponding to the channel format, then the display data of the display interface can correspond to the data interface of the channel format, and the broadcast channel corresponding to the current channel format can be obtained by default. If the channel search instruction of the display apparatus does not need to be input in a specific interface, for example, a one-button channel search control can be provided on the control device of the display apparatus (such as a remote control), and the channel search control can be triggered when the display is in any display interface. At this time, as shown in FIG. 41, if the display apparatus simultaneously receives broadcast channels of multiple channel formats, and the display data of the display interface does not correspond to the data interface of any channel format, the processor can drive the display to display a second prompt message on the display interface to prompt the user to switch the display interface to the interface corresponding to the channel format, such as the prompt message is: Please select the channel format of the broadcast channel to search for the corresponding broadcast channel.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0206] S920, generate the broadcast channel list according to the channel information of the broadcast channels and the categories list of the broadcast channels.

[0207] Since there is no signal source type information in the code stream parsing of the broadcast channel, the type category information of the broadcast channel cannot be obtained from the channel search. Therefore, in the actual application process, it is necessary to obtain the type category information of the broadcast channel from the cloud. Specifically, before responding to the channel search instruction input by the user and obtaining the category table of the broadcast channel, the processor can be also configured to execute the computer instructions to enable the display apparatus to: obtain the request information for obtaining the channel category table input by the user, and send the request information to the cloud. When the category table of the broadcast channel sent by the cloud is received, the category table of the broadcast channel can be stored in the local database, where the request information can include the operator information of the broadcast channel, and the category table of the broadcast channel can be obtained by the cloud based on the operator information of the broadcast channel.

[0208] For example, taking country and region as the dimension, first obtain the channel type corresponding to each country's broadcast channel from the operator, configure it to the cloud, and the cloud can store the category table of the broadcast channels corresponding to each country. In this way, the category of broadcast channels can be achieved through cloud configuration combined with local channel search, so that the broadcast channel category can be marked in the broadcast channel list.

[0209] S930, drive the display to display the broadcast channel list.

[0210] The broadcast channel list can be determined in advance by the user searching for channels. In this way, when the broadcast channels are merged with the network channels, the broadcast channel list can be easily obtained, and the broadcast channels and corresponding broadcast channel categories can be obtained from the broadcast channel list, thereby realizing the rapid generation and switching of the second list.

[0211] In some embodiments, when assigning network channels in the network channel list to corresponding category columns in the first list, the processor can be specifically configured to parse the network channel code streams in the network channel list to obtain network channels and network channel category corresponding to the network channels, and then assign the correspondingVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P network channels to corresponding category columns in the first list according to the network channel category.

[0212] In this way, by parsing the network channel category of the network channel, each network channel can be assigned to the category column of the first list, and the broadcast channels and network channels in the same category column can be made to have the same channel type.

[0213] Since the category columns of the first list are limited and the number of network channels is large, in some embodiments, if there is no category column corresponding to the first network channel in the first list, that is, the category column does not correspond to the network channel category, the first network channel can be assigned to the comprehensive category column of the first list, and the first network channel can be any network channel in the network channel list, where the network channels in the comprehensive category column can be channels of the same type or channels of different types. Since the first list can be generated based on the broadcast channel list, there is no broadcast channel list in the comprehensive category column, that is, the type of the network channels in the comprehensive category column is different from the type of any broadcast channel.

[0214] In this way, even if the type of network channel does not exist in the first list, the comprehensive category column can be set to ensure that all network channels can be retained in the second list, thereby preventing the user from losing some network channels when using the second list.

[0215] In some embodiments, after driving the display screen to display the broadcast channel list, the processor can be further configured to execute the computer instructions to enable the display apparatus to: in response to a second switching instruction input by the user, obtain a broadcast channel list or a network channel list, and drive the display to display the broadcast channel list or the network channel list on the user interface.

[0216] In this way, when the processor drives the display to display the second list on the display interface, if the user wants to exit the second list interface and wants to switch to the broadcast channel list or the network channel list, the user can easily switch the second list back to the broadcast channel list or the network channel list by entering the second switching instruction, thereby avoiding the user from having to perform multiple operations to switch to the broadcast channel list or the network channel list, thereby improving the quality of user experience.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0217] In some embodiments, after driving the display screen to display the broadcast channel list, the processor can be further configured to execute the computer instructions to enable the display apparatus to: in response to the user's touch operation on the switching control, control the indicator cursor to switch between different category columns in the second list, or control the indicator cursor to switch between different channels in the same category column of the second list, the channels can include network channels and broadcast channels, and the indicator cursor can be used to represent the object selected by the user.

[0218] In this way, the user can switch the pointer between different category columns and switch between broadcast channels and network channels in the same category column, thereby ensuring that the user can quickly select a channel to watch first.

[0219] After driving the display to display the second list on the user interface, the processor can be further configured to execute the computer instructions to enable the display apparatus to: obtain broadcast channel update information of the broadcast channel list and / or obtain network channel update information of the network channel list in response to an update instruction input by the user; and update the second list according to the broadcast channel update information and / or the network channel update information.

[0220] In this way, when a broadcast channel service provider provides a new broadcast channel, or when a network channel service provider provides a new network channel, the new broadcast channel or new network channel can be quickly added to the second list to ensure that users can obtain the content of the new broadcast channel or new network channel in the second list, thereby improving the quality of user experience.

[0221] In addition, when the display apparatus simultaneously receives broadcast channels of multiple channel formats, the processor can drive the display to display the second lists under all channel formats on one display interface. For example, as shown in FIG. 42, the content displayed on the display interface can be a channel list. The first column on the left can be different channel formats. After selecting a channel format, the second list corresponding to the channel format can be displayed in the second column on the left. In this way, the user experience can be further improved.

[0222] In order to more clearly illustrate the above technical solution provided in the present application, the above technical solution provided in the present application can be introduced from two perspectives of channel category process and channel fusion process.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0223] As shown in FIG. 43, it is a schematic diagram of a channel category process according to some embodiments of the present application, including steps S1201 to S1214.

[0224] The display apparatus can be connected to the network.

[0225] S1201, the data service sends a request message for obtaining a channel category table to the cloud.

[0226] When the cloud receives the request information for obtaining the channel category table, in some embodiments, the cloud can first obtain the channel type corresponding to the broadcast channel of each country from the operator and configure it to the cloud. The cloud can maintain the category table of the broadcast channels obtained from the operator for each country based on the country region. In addition, in other embodiments, the cloud can also identify the type of broadcast channel based on the user's evaluation or feedback on the broadcast channel, or, in some other embodiments, the cloud can obtain the program content of the broadcast channel, and then mark the type of the broadcast channel based on the program content.

[0227] S1202, the cloud sends the category table of broadcast channels to the data service.

[0228] In actual application, if the cloud sends the category table of broadcast channels to the data service for the first time within the preset time, the entire content of the category table needs to be sent. If the cloud does not send the category table of broadcast channels to the data service for the first time within the preset time, for example, if the data service sends a request for obtaining the channel category table to the cloud within 7 days, only the information that has changed within the preset time can be sent, for example, there are new broadcast channels, or the type of the original broadcast channels has changed, then only the new or type-changed broadcast channels will be sent. If the category table of broadcast channels has not changed within the preset time, it can also directly feedback that the category table of the current broadcast channels will be updated.

[0229] S1203, the data service stores the category table of broadcast channels in a local database.

[0230] By storing the category table of broadcast channels in a local database, when a display apparatus needs the category table of broadcast channels stored in a local database, the category table of broadcast channels stored in the local database can be obtained more conveniently, avoiding the large amount of time required for cloud collection or acquisition of the category table of broadcast channels stored in the local database.

[0231] S1204, the user inputs a channel search instruction.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0232] S1205, the channel search instruction is synchronized to the TV service.

[0233] In some embodiments, the channel search instruction can also be generated based on an instruction input by a user. For example, when the user inputs a first instruction to switch channels, if the current display apparatus stores a broadcast channel list, the channel search instruction can be generated based on the first instruction.

[0234] S1206, the TV service obtains channel information of broadcast channels in response to the channel search instruction.

[0235] S1207, the TV service stores broadcast channels of different channel formats in different television channel databases according to different channel formats.

[0236] In actual application, if the display apparatus receives data of multiple channel formats simultaneously, the channel search instruction is not limited to searching broadcast channels of one channel format, but can also search broadcast channels of multiple channel formats at one time and store them in channel lists of different channel formats respectively.

[0237] S1208, the TV service displays the channel search status and information through the Ul service.

[0238] At this point, the channel search task is preliminarily completed, that is, the broadcast channel information can be obtained, but it is not classified by type. In this way, it can be displayed to the user through the Ul service. In some embodiments, if the user only needs to keep the search results of the current broadcast channel, the channel search process can be stopped through instructions.

[0239] S1209, the TV service sends a request to the data service to obtain a category table of broadcast channels.

[0240] S1210, the data service sends a category list of broadcast channels to the TV service.

[0241] S1211, the TV service marks the categories of the broadcast channels in the broadcast channel list according to the category table of the broadcast channels.

[0242] By marking the categories of broadcast channels in the broadcast channel list, users can select corresponding broadcast channels according to their favorite types when watching broadcast channels, and it is convenient for users to focus on the broadcast channels, avoiding users from missing out on their favorite types of broadcast channels due to unclear channel types.

[0243] S1212, store the broadcast channel list in the television channel database.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0244] S1213, the TV service synchronizes the broadcast channel list to the Ul service.

[0245] S1214, display the broadcast channel list on the Ul service.

[0246] It should be noted that after displaying the broadcast channel list, the user can also selectively fall back, that is, switch to the search channel information obtained again in S1208, that is, only display the channel information of non-standard types.

[0247] As shown in FIG. 44, it is a schematic diagram of the classified channel fusion process according to some embodiments of the present application, including steps S1301 to S1311.

[0248] S1301, the TV service updates the broadcast channel list.

[0249] S1302, the network service updates the network channel list.

[0250] It should be noted that the TV service can update the broadcast channel list and the network service can update the network channel list before the first channel switching instruction is given, for example, the display apparatus can periodically update the broadcast channel list and / or the network channel list. Alternatively, the first switching instruction can be obtained first, and then the broadcast channel list and / or the network channel list can be updated.

[0251] S1303, the user inputs a first switching instruction.

[0252] S1304, the Ul service sends a request to the TV service to obtain the current channel format.

[0253] S1305, the TV service returns the current channel format to the Ul service.

[0254] In actual application, if the display apparatus simultaneously receives broadcast channels of multiple channel formats, it is not limited to setting only the first switching instruction. The first switching instruction can also be subdivided as needed, for example, including multiple switching instructions. Specifically, the number of switching instructions is the same as the number of channel formats, that is, one switching instruction corresponds to one channel format. In this way, after obtaining the corresponding switching instruction, the display apparatus can skip S1304 and S1305 and directly execute subsequent steps.

[0255] S1306, the Ul service sends a request to the TV channel database to obtain a broadcast channel list.

[0256] S1307, the Ul service sends a request to the network channel database to obtain a network channel list.

[0257] S1308, the TV channel database sends a broadcast channel list to the Ul service.

[0258] S1309, the network channel database sends a network channel list to the Ul service.VI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P

[0259] S1310, the Ul service forms a second list according to the current channel format, the broadcast channel list, and the network channel list.

[0260] It should be noted that S1306 to S1309 need to be executed only when the user enters the first switching instruction for the first time or the user does not enter the first switching instruction for the first time but the second list cannot be generated or the generated second list is lost due to specific reasons. Otherwise, the second list can be called directly.

[0261] That is, in actual application, after the second list is generated, the second list can be in the interface of a certain application or program on the display apparatus. After the user controls the display interface to display content and enters a specific interface, the second list can be displayed. Alternatively, the user can directly input the first switching instruction without considering the content of the current interface, and if the second list exists in the display apparatus, the display apparatus can directly control the display interface to enter the interface of the second list.

[0262] S1311, the user selects a different category column or switches channels on the same category column.

[0263] Embodiments of the present application further provides a display method, which is applied to a display apparatus, the display apparatus can include a display, and the display method includes: in response to a channel list switching instruction input by a user, obtaining the current channel format of the display apparatus, the broadcast channel list and the network channel list, where the broadcast channel list can include broadcast channels and corresponding broadcast channel categories; determining a first list according to the current channel format, where the first list can be an empty list having at least two category columns; based on the broadcast channel category, assigning the broadcast channels to the corresponding category columns in the first list, and assigning the network channels in the network channel list to the corresponding category columns in the first list to obtain a second list, where at least one category column in the second list can include the broadcast channel and the network channel; and driving the display to display the second list on the user interface.

[0264] By applying the display method according to embodiments of the present application, when a user watches channel programs, they can switch between broadcast channels and network channels without switching the display interface. In particular, network channels and broadcast channels underVI0417P-WO-0024 PCT-application - Text Docket No. TD250503945P the same category column are channels of the same type. When a user is interested in a certain type of program, the user can be directed to the network program through the broadcast channel, thereby increasing the viewing rate of the network channel. Similarly, the user can also be directed to the broadcast program through the network channel.

[0265] Embodiments of the present application further provide a display apparatus, the display apparatus includes a display, and further includes: an obtaining module configured to: in response to a channel list switching instruction input by a user, obtain the current channel format of the display apparatus, the broadcast channel list and the network channel list, where the broadcast channel list can include broadcast channels and corresponding broadcast channel categories; a list determination module configured to determine a first list according to the current channel format, where the first list can be an empty list having at least two category columns; a category module configured to: based on the broadcast channel category, assign the broadcast channels to the corresponding category columns in the first list, and assign the network channels in the network channel list to the corresponding category columns in the first list to obtain a second list, where at least one category column in the second list can include the broadcast channel and the network channel; and a display module configured to drive the display to display the second list on the user interface.

[0266] By using the display apparatus according to embodiments of the present application, when a user watches channel programs, they can switch between broadcast channels and network channels without switching the display interface. In particular, network channels and broadcast channels under the same category column are channels of the same type. When a user is interested in a certain type of program, the user can be directed to the network program through the broadcast channel, thereby increasing the viewing rate of the network channel. Similarly, the user can also be directed to the broadcast program through the network channel.
