Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to Digital Television interface display technical field, particularly a kind of method for displaying numeral TV set top box interactive interface.
Background technology
Along with developing rapidly of digital technology, digital television signal is replacing analog signal, enters TV industry, and this makes that the user can be more clear, watches digital television program easily.In recent years, digital television service system is also constantly grown up, and integral translation has all been realized in now a lot of areas.Because the direct receiving digital signals of most of employed television sets, so people use set-top box to come receiving digital signals, output to television set after being converted to analog signal.The use of set-top box can allow the user enjoy the distinctive good service of Digital Television, as electronic interface guide (EPG), and quasi-video request program (NVOD), video request program (VOD), data broadcasting, stock information, direct playing and playback (PVR) or the like.
Along with increasing of business function, the remote controller on the traditional analog television uses can feel that button is more and more not enough.Digital TV set-top box has been used menu structure, plays navigation function, and Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 are existing Digital Television menu structure schematic diagram, and the user can carry out business functions such as program searching by menu structure.As depicted in figs. 1 and 2, the Digital Television menu structure that shows at television display screen 1 comprises header area 10 and clauses and subclauses district 20.Header area 10 is used to show main menu, and clauses and subclauses district 20 is used to show each function menu that is subordinated under the main menu, for example " Digital Television " 21, " video game " 23, " play-on-demand program " 25, " channel search " 27, " system's setting " 29 etc.When finding function menu by the corresponding keys on the remote controller, as " system's setting " 29 o'clock, show current main menu " system's setting " in the header area 10, clauses and subclauses district 20 shows each function menu that is subordinated under the current main menu, for example " the commonly used setting " 22, " senior setting " 24, " system information " 26, " channel editor " 28, " condition reception " 30 etc., thus television set is operated accordingly.
In the development process of reality, it is convenient how to organize each business function to make that the user operates, and fast seems particularly important.The friendly of interface alternation is directly connected to user's simple operation, directly influences impression and the use experience of user to product.The Display Technique of set-top box is at Video layer display video now, at OSD (tv display screen) layer display menu, and the OSD layer is on the Video layer, like this in display menu, will cover video, influence the user and watch current in progress program, present universal method is in display menu, scaling video, in video window 31, demonstrate the interface of current broadcast, the user can watch program in actions menu limit, limit like this, yet because video window 31 is the video window that dwindles, has influenced user's the effect of watching to a great extent.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of method for displaying numeral TV set top box interactive interface, can when carrying out business function, obtain better TV program watching effect by optimizing menu structure.
For achieving the above object, one aspect of the present invention provides a kind of method for displaying numeral TV set top box interactive interface, comprising:
(a) in the lower left corner of television screen or the upper left corner or the lower right corner or the upper right corner show initial menu;
(b) with described initial menu be starting point above or below the television screen laterally display menu or corresponding subordinate menu.
Preferably, after the instruction of receiving the display menu that the user sends, show described initial menu, confirm that the instruction back shows described menu and corresponding subordinate menu receiving.
Preferably, content displayed is beginning or main menu in the described initial menu.
Preferably, the initial menu position display in described subordinate menu begins or subordinate's pad name.
Preferably, also comprise the steps: before in described step (a)
In television screen played in full screen TV programme.
A kind of method for displaying numeral TV set top box interactive interface is provided on the other hand, has comprised:
(a) in the lower left corner of television screen or the upper left corner or the lower right corner or the upper right corner show initial menu;
(b) be the left side or the right vertical display menu or the corresponding subordinate menu of starting point with described initial menu at television screen.
