The demonstration that first area controller 3412 is controlled in first area 3422.In first area 3422, will show first category information, and as mentioned above, it is a plurality of that first category information has, and even reaches more than 10.In order to show first category information in first area 3422, first area controller 3412 is divided into a plurality of tactic the first display positions by first area, and shows successively a first category information at each first display position place.Because the limited location of first area is in the screen size of display interface, therefore, the number of the first display position that first area controller 3412 marks off can not be greater than the number of first category information conventionally.As shown in Figure 3, first area controller 3412 is divided into 5 the first display positions by first area, and each first display position place has shown respectively a first category information (first category information 1 to 5).Yet, should be understood that, first category information can be more than 5, surpasses the first category information of 5 because the first display position is less and do not show.
According to one embodiment of present invention, in order to make application have better adaptability, application can adopt the mode of similar browser to construct, and therefore, can adopt html language to construct first area.For this reason, first area controller 3412 can be constructed first area by html language below:
In superincumbent code, utilize html element div that first area is divided into 6 the first display positions, sign for each display position " nav_menu[1-6] " identify, first area controller 3412 utilizes CSS that each position of the first viewing area in first area is set subsequently:
.nav-menu1{left：-167px；}
.nav-menu2{left：32px；}
.nav-menu3{left：231px；}
.nav-menu4{left：430px；}
.nav-menu5{left：629px；}
.nav-menu6{left：828px；}
.nav-menu1.img，.nav-menu2.img,.nav-menu3.img,.nav-menu4.img,.nav-menu5.img，.nav-menu6.img{width：195px；height：57px；}
.nav-menu1.text，.nav-menu2.text，.nav-menu3.text,.nav-menu4.text,.nav-menu5.text，.nav-menu6.text{width：195px；height：57px；}
Subsequently, first area controller 3412 will show a first category information successively at each the first display position place, and this for example can utilize js script below to carry out:
for(vari＝0；i＜(nav_length＞nav_item？nav_item：nav_length)；i++){
$(″nav_menu″+(i+1)).html(categoryjson[i].Name)；
}
In superincumbent script, variable nav_length has defined the quantity of first category information, and variable nav_item has defined the quantity of the first display position, has stored first category information list in variable categoryjson.Utilize this script, just the title of each first category information can be presented to corresponding the first display position place.
In interface control appliance 3410, emphasize that in first area 3422 one of display controller 3414 fixes the stack of the first display position place and emphasizes to show, particularly, emphasize that first display controller 3414 arranges one and emphasize viewing area, and by this region the first fixing display position that is added to, be exactly particularly on first first display position, this for example can utilize html language and CSS below to realize:
CSS part:
.nav-foucs{width：188px；height：57px，position：absolute；top：98px；left：39px；}
.nav-foucs .selected{display：block；font-size：36px；line-height：57px；color：#2f2f2f；
text-align：center；width：214px；height：72px；position：absolute；top：-7px；left：-13px；}
.nav-foucs.selected{background：url(..images?makeup?nav-selected1.png)no-repeat；width：214px，；height：72px，；}
.nav-foucs.selected.text{width：188px，；height：57px；top：8px；left：14px；position：absolute；}
.nav-foucs.selected.text?img{width：：188px；height：57px；}
Emphasize that display controller 3414 is by have the div layer of background color and background picture in fixing the first display position place stack, thereby provide a kind of this viewing area to be emphasized the impression showing to user.According to one embodiment of present invention; emphasize that the mode showing can be yellow demonstration; such as the yellow frame of the surrounding stack at the first display position etc., the present invention is not limited to this, so can give user, emphasizes that the mode that shows impression is all within protection scope of the present invention.
Presented a plurality of first category information in first area 3422 after, owing to emphasizing that 3414 pairs one the first fixing display position of display controller has carried out emphasizing showing, when user watches application while presenting interface on TV, nature can think that certain operation focus emphasizing display position place.Now, user can carry out key-press input at remote controller according to the position of operation focus.As mentioned above, the command input end 320 of Set Top Box 300 can receive the key-press input of user on remote controller 400, is translated into corresponding order or event, and offers application 340.Event handler 3416 in application 340 can receive and process this event.Because application 340 only can be processed the event of limited type, for example as required, application 340 only need to process " on ", the key such as D score, " left side ", " right side ", " confirmations " and " returning " inputs, and can not process other buttons.For this reason, event handler 3416 can the shielding event corresponding with other key-press inputs.For the corresponding event of the key-press input that can process with application, event handler 3416 carries out different processing according to different key-press inputs.
When event handler 3416 receives the event of inputting corresponding to user's right button, can be modified in the content that each the first display position place shows by indication first area controller 3412, particularly, for each the first display position, the first category information that this first display position place is shown is revised as this first category information first category information afterwards that is arranged in.Because each first category information is presented in first area successively, therefore for certain first category information, its next first category information is usually displayed on the right side of this first category information, is presented at the next one the first display position place after the first display position that this first category information shows.
As mentioned above, because the quantity of first category information can not be less than the quantity of the first display position, therefore, the situation that there will be some first category information not show in first area.When first area controller 3412 is revised the content at the first display position place according to right button incoming event, if this first display position be last first display position in first area (, the first display position of the rightmost side), the first category information that in first category information list, first does not show can be presented to this display position place.
In addition, if the first category information that this first display position place shows is last in first category information list, be revised as first first category information in list, thereby realized circulation, shown.
By such processing, the first display position of emphasizing demonstration due to stack remains unchanged, and the content modification that each the first display position place shows is the content originally showing at the display position place on this first display position right side, thereby give a kind of impression of user, the displaying contents of first category information rolls according to user's right button input, but the focus area in first area remains unchanged.User carrys out remote controller according to this impression, can search more easily its needed content, thereby improves the ease for use of this application.
According to one embodiment of present invention, when application has the implementation of web browser, first area controller 3412 can be processed the event that right button is inputted by javascript code below, first defines the mode that first area controller 3412 is processed various keys inputs:
According to definition above, the function that first area controller 3412 is processed right button input is nav_right, and the logic of this function is as follows:
In nav_right, first be arranged on and emphasize first category information that viewing area place the shows sequence number secondItem in the first list information list, be set to current sequence number currentItem+1, subsequently, calling showFirstMenu (secondItem) is presented at first category information corresponding to secondItem to emphasize in viewing area, and the information that other the first display position places are shown is carried out corresponding modify, after having processed the demonstration at each the first display position place, determine the current sequence number currentItem that is emphasized the first category information of demonstration.
Fig. 4 shows the schematic diagram of the interface after processing after the interface 3420 shown in Fig. 3 is receiving the input of user's right button.In Fig. 4, suppose that first category information is identical with the number of the first display position, when receiving user's right button input, each first display position all shows the first category information that was originally presented at the first display position place, right side, and for last display position, show first first category information.Therefore, as shown in Figure 4, in first area 3422, from left to right show successively first category information 2,3,4,5 and 1.
Alternatively, when event handler 3416 receives the event of inputting corresponding to user's left button, can be modified in the content that each the first display position place shows by indication first area controller 3412, particularly, for each the first display position, the first category information that this first display position place is shown is revised as this first category information first category information before that is arranged in.Because each first category information is presented in first area successively, therefore for certain first category information, its previous first category information is usually displayed on the left side of this first category information, is presented at the upper first display position place before the first display position that this first category information shows.
As mentioned above, because the quantity of first category information can not be less than the quantity of the first display position, therefore, the situation that there will be some first category information not show in first area.When first area controller 3412 is revised the content at the first display position place according to left button incoming event, if this first display position be first first display position in first area (, the first display position of the leftmost side), the first category information that in first category information list, last does not show can be presented to this display position place.
In addition, if the first category information that this first display position place shows is first in first category information list, be revised as last the first category information in list, thereby realized circulation, shown.
By such processing, the first display position of emphasizing demonstration due to stack remains unchanged, and the content modification that each the first display position place shows is the content originally showing at the display position place in this first display position left side, thereby give a kind of impression of user, the displaying contents of first category information rolls according to user's left button input, but the focus area in first area remains unchanged.User carrys out remote controller according to this impression, can search more easily its needed content, thereby improves the ease for use of this application.
According to one embodiment of present invention, as mentioned above, when application 340 has the implementation of similar network browser, first area controller 3412 is processed in the similar mode of processing right button input above.According to definition above, the function that first area controller 3412 is processed left button input is nav_left, and the logic of this function is as follows:
In nav_left, first be arranged on and emphasize first category information that viewing area place the shows sequence number secondItem (being set to current sequence number currentItem-1) in the first list information list, subsequently, calling showFirstMenu (secondItem) is presented at first category information corresponding to secondItem to emphasize in viewing area, and the information that other the first display position places are shown is carried out corresponding modify, after having processed the demonstration at each the first display position place, redefine the current sequence number currentItem that is emphasized the first category information of demonstration.
Fig. 5 shows the schematic diagram of the interface after processing after the interface 3420 shown in Fig. 3 is receiving the input of user's left button.In Fig. 5, suppose that first category information is identical with the number of the first display position, when receiving user's left button input, each first display position all shows the first category information at the first display position place that was originally presented at left side, and for first display position, show last first category information.Therefore, as shown in Figure 5, in first area 3422, from left to right show successively first category information 5,1,2,3 and 4.
In addition, alternatively, according to one embodiment of present invention, interface control appliance 3410 also comprises second area controller 3417.Second area controller 3417 is suitable for being controlled at the demonstration in the second area 3424 in the interface 3420 shown in Fig. 3-5.As mentioned above, each first category information has one or more second classification information being associated.Second area controller 3417 obtains current stack and emphasizes the first category information at the first display position place of showing, and obtains subsequently one or more second classification information being associated with this first category information.Second area controller 3417 is divided into number second display position corresponding with the second obtained classification Information Number order by second area 3424, and shows successively second classification information at each second display position place.
Alternatively, be limited to the size of second area, the number of the second display position that 3424 of second areas can be divided is fixed, therefore, when the second classification Information Number order obtaining when second area controller 3417 surpasses predetermined number, in second area controller 3417, can only show predetermined number the second classification information, user's the second shown classification information of can rolling by the "up" and "down" button on remote controller, thus obtain the second classification information not showing.
Particularly, first second area controller 3417 utilizes div label that this second area 3424 is divided into predetermined number the second display position, and the CSS attribute of each the second display position is set.According to one embodiment of present invention, its code is as follows:
