Fig. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling volume of a display device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, which is performed by a display device controller, and as shown in fig. 8, the method may include:

step 801, after the display device is turned on, playing a program, wherein the playing volume corresponds to a normal state, a disturbance-free state or a mute state.

After the display device is turned on, a homepage or an application interface after entering a certain application can be presented, and/or an audio or video program can be played. The playing volume of the display device corresponds to three states, namely a normal state, an undisturbed state and a mute state. The volume corresponding to the mute state is a mute volume, and is generally 0, the volume corresponding to the no-disturbance state is a no-disturbance volume, and the volumes between the mute volume and the upper limit volume except the mute volume and the no-disturbance volume are the volumes in the normal state.

In this embodiment, an option (or called control) for setting the do-nothing volume may be preset in an operation menu of the display device or the set-top box device, and a user may set or adjust the do-nothing volume by operating the option. Typically, the do-not-disturb volume is higher than the mute volume and lower than the normal play volume of the display device. Based on the scene requirements related to the application, the user can set the volume value of the disturbance-free volume to be the optimal volume which does not influence the user to answer the call, does not influence the chat among the users and does not influence the watching of the television programs.

In a specific implementation, the step of setting the do-not-disturb volume may include: the display device displays a user interface including a display device operation menu, as shown in fig. 9a, the operation menu at least includes an operation control for setting the disturbance-free volume, that is, a target control, and the display device receives an operation instruction of the remote controller on the target control in the operation menu and enters another user interface shown in fig. 9 b. Fig. 9b shows a user interface for adjusting the undisturbed volume value, where the user interface displays operation controls for the user to increase or decrease the undisturbed volume and the undisturbed volume value, and in the user interface, the display device receives an instruction for adjusting the undisturbed volume by the remote controller, such as an increase instruction or a decrease instruction, obtains the adjusted volume value, and finally sets the adjusted volume value as the undisturbed volume by saving the adjusted volume value.

Step 802, detecting whether a first control instruction corresponding to a mute key on a remote controller is received. If yes, go to step 803. If not, no action is performed.

The remote controller operates the display device by sending the key value to the display device, and after receiving the key value, the display device finds the control instruction corresponding to the key value and executes the control instruction. For convenience of distinction and explanation, in the present application, a control instruction corresponding to a mute key on a remote controller is collectively referred to as a first control instruction, and a control instruction corresponding to a volume key (including a volume up key and a volume down key) is collectively referred to as a second control instruction.

Step 803, acquiring a state corresponding to the current playing volume of the display device.

Specifically, if the current playing volume is the disturbance-free volume, the current playing volume corresponds to the disturbance-free state; if the current playing volume is the mute volume, the current playing volume corresponds to the mute state; and if the current playing volume is not the disturbance-free volume and is not the mute volume, the current playing volume corresponds to the normal state.

Step 804, when the current playing volume corresponds to a normal state, adjusting the playing volume of the display device to the disturbance-free volume.

Step 805, when the current playing volume corresponds to the no-disturbance state, the playing volume of the display device is adjusted to the mute volume.

Step 806, when the current playing volume corresponds to the mute state, adjusting the playing volume of the display device to the volume corresponding to the last normal state.

It should be noted that, in the present application, the volume state of the display device may be switched among a normal state, an undisturbed state and a mute state, and in step 806, if the current playing volume corresponds to the mute state, the playing volume of the display device is switched to the volume corresponding to the previous normal state.

For example, the display device plays a program in a normal volume state, the play volume value is 9, when receiving a first control command, the current play volume is adjusted from the volume value 9 to the do-not-disturb volume, the volume value of the do-not-disturb volume is 5, when receiving the first control command in the do-not-disturb volume state, the play volume is adjusted to mute, and when receiving the first control command in the mute state, the play volume is restored to the volume corresponding to the last normal state, that is, the volume value 9.

In order to make the process of controlling the volume perceived by the user, thereby avoiding the misoperation of the user as much as possible, the method of the application further comprises: after the playing volume of the display equipment is adjusted to the no-disturbance volume, presenting a first interface prompt comprising an no-disturbance state icon on a user interface of the display equipment; and after the playing volume of the display equipment is adjusted to the mute volume, presenting a second interface prompt comprising a mute state icon on the user interface of the display equipment.

Illustratively, fig. 10a shows a possible first interface prompt, in particular a do-not-disturb icon 101, and fig. 10b shows a possible second interface prompt, in particular a mute icon 102.

According to the embodiment, the mute key on the remote controller has three control functions, so that the play volume can be switched among a normal state, a disturbance-free state and a mute state by one key, one is that the play volume in the normal state is adjusted to the disturbance-free volume by one key, and a user does not need to continuously operate the volume key to reduce the play volume, so that the user operation is greatly simplified; the other is that the play volume in the non-disturbing state is adjusted to the mute volume by one key, the original mute function of the mute key is reserved, and the third is that the mute volume is adjusted to the play volume in the last normal state by one key without continuously operating the volume key by a user to recover the play volume, thereby further simplifying the operation of the user.

In addition, in the method, the disturbing-free volume can be set and adjusted by the user according to the needs, so that the method has higher flexibility and individuation and ensures that the user experience is more friendly.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 8, fig. 11 is a flowchart of a volume control method for a display device according to another exemplary embodiment shown in the present application, and different from the embodiment shown in fig. 8, the method of the present application needs to perform the step 802 and 806 shown in fig. 8 and simultaneously detect whether a second control instruction corresponding to a volume key on a remote controller is received, that is, step 112 in the embodiment shown in fig. 11, and if the second control instruction is received, perform the logic flow shown in step 113 and 116 shown in fig. 11.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 11, the method of this embodiment may include:

and step 111, after the display equipment is started, playing the program, wherein the playing volume corresponds to a normal state, a disturbance-free state or a mute state.

And step 112, detecting whether a second control instruction corresponding to the volume key on the remote controller is received. If the second control instruction is received, executing the following steps 113 and the following steps; and if the second control instruction is not received, not acting.

And step 113, acquiring a state corresponding to the current playing volume of the display device.

Step 114, when the current playing volume corresponds to the normal state, adjusting the volume of the display device according to the second control instruction.

The volume keys on the remote controller comprise a volume up key and a volume down key, correspondingly, the second control instruction comprises a volume up instruction and a volume down instruction, the volume is increased if the volume up instruction is received by the display device, and the volume is decreased if the volume down instruction is received by the display device.

Step 115, when the current playing volume corresponds to the no-disturbance state, discarding the second control instruction.

As shown in step 115, in this embodiment, if the playing volume of the display device is in the no-disturbance state, the user cannot control the volume through the volume key on the remote controller.

Step 116, when the current playing volume corresponds to the mute state, the playing volume of the display device is adjusted to the volume corresponding to the last normal state.

As can be seen from the embodiment shown in fig. 11, when the display device plays the program at the normal volume, the user can adjust the playing volume through the volume key, and when the display device plays the program at the volume without disturbing the volume, the user cannot adjust the playing volume through the volume key, so as to remind the user to adjust the volume by pressing the mute key, or to reduce the volume to mute, or to restore the volume to normal.

Fig. 12 is a flowchart illustrating a display device volume control method according to another exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 12, the method may include:

and step 121, after the display device is started, playing the program, wherein the playing volume corresponds to a normal state, an disturbance-free state or a mute state, and if the playing volume corresponds to the disturbance-free state, timing the duration of the disturbance-free state.

And step 122, detecting whether a first control instruction corresponding to the mute key on the remote controller is received. If yes, go to step 123. If not, no action is performed.

And step 123-1, acquiring a state corresponding to the current playing volume of the display device.

And, in step 123-2, determining whether the current playing volume corresponds to a normal state, if so, executing step 124, and if not, executing step 123-3.

In step 123-3, it is determined whether the current playing volume corresponds to the no-disturb state, if yes, step 128 is performed, and if not, step 125-3 is performed.

In step 124, it is determined whether the current playback volume is higher than the do-not-disturb volume. If so, go to step 125-1, otherwise, go to step 125-2.

In step 125-1, the playback volume of the display device is adjusted to the do-not-disturb volume.

In step 125-2, the play volume of the display device is adjusted to the mute volume.

In step 125-3, the playing volume of the display device is adjusted to the volume corresponding to the last normal state.

Meanwhile, after step 125-1, step 126 is executed, i.e. after entering the do-not-disturb state, the duration of the do-not-disturb state is counted, and the counted duration is obtained.

And, in step 127-1, detecting whether a second control instruction corresponding to the volume key on the remote controller is received; if yes, go to step 128, otherwise go to step 127-2.

In step 127-2, it is detected whether a first control command corresponding to the mute key on the remote controller is received, if yes, step 128 is executed, and if not, no action is performed.

It should be noted that the difference between the step 127-2 and the step 122 is that the step 127-2 is executed when the playback volume corresponds to the no-disturbance state, and the step 122 is executed when the playback volume is in an arbitrary volume state.

Step 128, judging whether the timing duration is less than a preset duration; if not, 125-3 is executed.

If the timing duration is less than the preset duration and the second control command is received, go to step 129, and if the timing duration is less than the preset duration and the first control command is received, go to step 125-2.

In step 129, the disturbance-free volume is updated by using the volume value corresponding to the second control instruction.

Specifically, the volume value adjusted by the second control instruction is obtained according to the received second control instruction once or multiple continuous second control instructions; setting the adjusted volume value as the do-not-disturb volume.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 12, if the play volume of the display device is in a normal state, if the user presses the mute key, it indicates that the user has a requirement to decrease the current play volume, the display device compares the current play volume with the preset do-not-disturb volume before decreasing the volume (step 124), if the current play volume is greater than the do-not-disturb volume, it preferentially decreases the play volume to the do-not-disturb volume, and if the current play volume is less than the do-not-disturb volume (step 125-1), it indicates that the requirement of the user is a volume lower than the do-not-disturb volume, i.e., a mute volume, and thus decreases the play volume to the mute volume (step 125-2).

In addition, in the embodiment shown in fig. 12, after the current playing volume is determined to correspond to the normal state and the current playing volume is greater than the do-not-disturb volume, the playing volume is adjusted to the do-not-disturb volume, in this embodiment, a short time after the completion of the adjustment to the do-not-disturb volume is defined as a do-not-disturb volume adjustment period, and the start time of the do-not-disturb volume adjustment period may be when the playing volume is determined to correspond to the do-not-disturb state, and the duration of the do-not-disturb volume adjustment period is a preset duration, for example, 10 s.

In this embodiment, if the volume key is pressed by the user in the period of adjusting the no-disturbance volume, that is, the timing duration is less than the preset duration, it indicates that the user wants to further adjust the volume on the basis of the current no-disturbance volume, so that the display device updates the no-disturbance volume by using the volume value corresponding to the second control instruction (step 129), and if the mute key is pressed by the user in the period of adjusting the no-disturbance volume, it indicates that the user wants to directly enter the mute state, the play volume of the display device is adjusted to the mute volume (step 129).

If the user presses the volume key outside the no-disturbance volume adjustment period, namely the timing duration is not less than the preset duration, the playing volume of the display device is adjusted to the volume corresponding to the last normal state. In this scenario, we think that the user presses the volume key at this time because it ignores that the display device is currently in the do-nothing volume state (for example, when the do-nothing state has lasted for a long time), and therefore the user presses the volume key in order to adjust the current playing volume, so that the playing volume of the display device is directly adjusted to the volume corresponding to the last normal state at this time (step 125-3). If the user presses the mute key outside the period of adjusting the no-disturbance volume, it indicates that the user remembers that the display device is currently in the no-disturbance volume state and wants to restore the volume to the volume in the normal state, so the playing volume of the display device is directly adjusted to the volume corresponding to the last normal state (step 125-3) instead of being adjusted to the mute state.

As can be seen from the foregoing embodiments, the present application provides a method for controlling volume of a display device, including: receiving a first control instruction corresponding to a mute key on a remote controller, and acquiring a state corresponding to the current playing volume of display equipment; when the current playing volume corresponds to a normal state, adjusting the playing volume of the display equipment to the disturbance-free volume; when the current playing volume corresponds to the disturbance-free state, adjusting the playing volume of the display equipment to a mute volume; and when the current playing volume corresponds to the mute state, adjusting the playing volume of the display equipment to the volume corresponding to the last normal state. The method can switch the playing volume among a normal state, a disturbance-free state and a mute state by one key, thereby greatly simplifying the user operation. In addition, the disturbing-free volume can be set and adjusted by the user according to the needs, so the method has higher flexibility and individuation and makes the user experience more friendly.
