For example, a menu item including an RGB Gain adjustment page is provided in the GUI shown in fig. 3E, and a menu item icon corresponding to the menu item is arranged in a blue square to allow a predetermined function to be performed or selected according to a content service provided by the GUI. The color keys are arranged in the order of R, G, Y and B colors on the control device 100 shown in fig. 5, for the user to cause the display apparatus 200 to perform a desired function among menu items (e.g., RGBGain adjustment page) by operating the color key (e.g., pressing the blue key) on the control device 100.

Referring to fig. 3E and 5, when the user desires to adjust the RGB Gain menu item, the user may press a blue key (the color of the key corresponds to the color of the menu item icon of the menu item of the RGB Gain adjustment page) on the control apparatus 100, and the display device 200 may receive the key event value of the key, extract the mapping information "B-RGB Gain adjustment function" from the display device 200, and then perform a function of jumping to the RGB Gain adjustment page. For example, in the GUI shown in fig. 3F, an RGB Gain adjustment page 45 is displayed.

Referring to fig. 3F and 5, when the user desires to adjust the color temperature menu item, the user may press a blue key (the color of the key corresponds to the color of the menu item icon of the color temperature menu item) on the control apparatus 100, and the display device 200 may receive the key event value of the key, extract the mapping information "B-color temperature function" from the inside of the display device 200, and then perform a function of jumping to the color temperature adjustment page. In the GUI shown in fig. 3E, a color temperature adjustment page 44 is displayed.

In this way, in the case where menu item contents are provided on the display, the user can receive a key event value of a color key having a function desired to be performed by the user on the control apparatus 100 by pressing the color key, search for and perform a function corresponding to the received key event value from the mapping information, and intuitively perform the desired function in consideration of the color key on the control apparatus 100 corresponding to the menu item contents in terms of color.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a play screen provided by the display device 200.

As shown in fig. 2, the display device 200 may provide a play screen 41, which may be at least one of an image, text, and video content, to the display. For example, the playback screen shown in fig. 2 is a picture screen.

Fig. 3A-3H are schematic diagrams illustrating one GUI400 provided by the display apparatus 200 by operating the control device 100.

In fig. 2, while a play screen such as picture content is displayed on the display of the display device 200, when a user inputs an instruction to instruct the display device 200 to display a function option menu by operating the control apparatus 100, the display device 200 may display the function option menu superimposed on the current play screen in response to the input instruction.

For example, as shown in fig. 3A, the user presses a "menu" key on the control device 100, and the display apparatus 200 may provide a GUI to the display in response to the key input instruction, the GUI displaying a play screen 41 and a function option menu page 42 including a plurality of function options 421 to 427, and provide a selector 43 indicating that any one of the function options is selected, and the position of the selector in the GUI may be moved by the user's input operating the control device 100 to change the selection of a different function option.

It should be noted that the function option refers to a visual object displayed in the GUI provided by the display device 200 to identify corresponding content such as an icon, a thumbnail, a link, and the like. The presentation forms of the options are generally diversified. For example, the options may include text content and/or images for displaying thumbnails related to the text content. As another example, the options may be text and/or icons of the application.

It should also be noted that the display form of the selector may be the focus object. The movement of the display focus object in the display apparatus 200 may be controlled to select or control items according to an input of a user through the control device 100. Such as: the user may select and control items by controlling the movement of the focus object between items through the direction keys on the control device 100. The identification form of the focus object is not limited. For example, as shown in fig. 3A, the position of the focus object may be realized or identified by setting the background color of the item, or may be identified by changing the border line, size, transparency, and outline of the text or image of the focused item, and/or the font.

In fig. 3A, when the user operates the control apparatus 100 to instruct the selector 43 to select the item 421, for example, the user presses a direction key on the control apparatus 100, as shown in fig. 3A, the display device 200 displays a menu option page 421 on the display in response to the key input instruction, the menu option page corresponding to detailed menu options of the item 421, including items 4211 to 4216. In FIG. 3B, when the selector 43 selects the item 4213, the lower menu items associated with the item 4213 and including the items 4213-1 to 4213-6 are displayed as shown in FIG. 3C.

In fig. 3C, when the user presses the down direction key on the control apparatus 100, as shown in fig. 3C, the display device 200 instructs the selector 43 to select the item 4213-4 in response to the key input instruction, and displays the lower menu option associated with the item 4243-4 and including the item 4213-4-1 as shown in fig. 3D.

In fig. 3D, when the user presses the down direction key on the control apparatus 100 as shown in fig. 3E, the display device 200 instructs the selector 43 to select the item 4213-4-1 in response to the key input instruction, and at this time, when the user presses the OK key on the control apparatus 100, the display device 200 superimposes and displays the color temperature adjustment page 44 as shown in fig. 3E on the play screen in response to the input instruction to activate the "color temperature" item 4213-4-1. The color temperature adjustment page can be displayed at any position of the display, such as the lower left corner of the display; the color temperature adjustment page comprises a numerical value bar for adjusting the numerical value of the color temperature parameter. When the user presses the plus key on the control apparatus 100, the display device 200 responds to the key input command, the circular slider on the numerical bar moves toward the numerical value 10 in the direction of the numerical bar, and the circular slider on the numerical bar moves toward the numerical value 10 by one unit in the direction of the numerical bar every time the user presses the plus key. When the user presses the minus key on the control apparatus 100, the display device 200 responds to the key input command, the circular slider on the numerical bar moves to the numerical value 0 along the direction of the numerical bar, and the circular slider on the numerical bar moves to the numerical value 0 along the direction of the numerical bar by one unit every time the user presses the minus key. The parameter value of the color temperature is roughly adjusted in the above way.

The color temperature adjustment and the RGB adjustment are associated menu options, that is, the color temperature adjustment and the RGB adjustment realize the setting of the color temperature function. The coarse setting of the color temperature function is adjusted by color temperature, and the fine setting of the color temperature function is further adjusted by RGB.

In fig. 3E, the first option in the color temperature adjustment page 44 is: a cyan RGB Gain adjustment page, after the user completes the color temperature adjustment menu option, the user presses a down button on the control device 100 to instruct the selector 43 to select a first option named the cyan RGB Gain adjustment page, and then, by pressing a confirm button or an OK button on the pressure control device 100, in response to a second input instruction to select the first option named the cyan RGB Gain adjustment page, jumps from the color temperature adjustment page 44 of fig. 3E to the RGB Gain adjustment page 45 shown in fig. 3F. The RGB Gain adjustment page may be displayed at any position of the display, such as the lower left corner of the display; the RGB Gain adjustment page includes a value bar for adjusting the RGB three-color parameter values.

In fig. 3F, when the user presses the down direction key on the control apparatus 100, the display device 200 instructs the selector 43 to select the numerical bar for adjusting the height of the value of the Red parameter in response to the key input instruction. In fig. 3F, when the user presses the plus key on the control device 100, the display device 200 responds to the key input command, the circular slider on the Red parameter value bar moves to the value +30 along the direction of the value bar, and the circular slider on the value bar moves to the value +30 along the direction of the value bar by one unit every time the user presses the plus key. When the user presses the minus key on the control apparatus 100, the display device 200 responds to the key input command, the circular slider on the numerical bar moves to the numerical value-30 in the direction of the numerical bar, and the circular slider on the numerical bar moves one unit in the direction of the numerical bar to the numerical value-30 every time the user presses the minus key.

The coarse and fine adjustment of the color temperature function may require frequent switching to alternate settings. In response to a second input instruction by the user selecting the first option in the first setting page, the display apparatus 200 may jump from the color temperature adjustment page 44 shown in fig. 3E to the RGB Gain adjustment page 45 of fig. 3F, and then may also respond to a third input instruction by the user selecting the second option in the second setting page. For example, the RGB Gain adjustment page in fig. 3F has a second option named cyan temperature, after the RGB Gain parameter adjustment of the RGB Gain adjustment page is completed, the user needs to return to the color temperature parameter adjustment page again, the user can press the down button on the control device 100 to instruct the selector 43 to select the first option named cyan RGB Gain adjustment page, and then press the confirm key or OK key on the control device 100 to jump from the RGB Gain adjustment page 45 back to the color temperature adjustment page 44, so that the user adjusts the color temperature adjustment menu option in the color temperature adjustment page 44 again. And after multiple times of switching and alternate adjustment, the color temperature effect required by the user is obtained.

As described in the above embodiments, when a function such as color temperature, sound quality, brightness, etc. is set on the display device 200, and when adjustment of a certain function involves a plurality of strongly associated function options while different function options are not on the same setting page, by pressing the OK key or the confirmation key of the control device by the user in the option area of the setting page, the user jumps directly from the current setting page to the setting page strongly associated therewith, so that the user simplifies the operation steps and improves the user experience at the time of function setting.

In another implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the color temperature adjustment page in fig. 3E includes a numerical bar for adjusting the height of the color temperature parameter value, and further includes a color key guide named as a cyan RGB Gain adjustment page. In fig. 3E, the color key guide named cyan RGB Gain adjustment page corresponds to the B color key of the control device 100, and in fig. 3E, according to the color key guide named cyan RGB Gain adjustment page (the color may be set to blue in fig. 3E), the user presses the B color key on the control device 100, and the color temperature adjustment page of fig. 3E jumps to the RGB Gain adjustment page of fig. 3F.

In fig. 3F, the color key guide named cyan temperature corresponds to the B color key of the control device 100, and in fig. 3F, the user presses the B color key on the control device 100 according to the color key guide named cyan temperature (the color may be set to blue in fig. 3F), and the RGB Gain adjustment page of fig. 3F jumps to the color temperature adjustment page of fig. 3E.

The color temperature parameter in the color temperature adjustment page of fig. 3E is associated with the RGB Gain parameter of the RGB Gain adjustment page of fig. 3F, i.e., the color temperature function is adjusted by jointly adjusting the color temperature parameter in the color temperature adjustment page of fig. 3E and the RGB Gain parameter of the RGB Gain adjustment page of fig. 3F.

Fig. 4A to 4C exemplarily show a flowchart of a function setting method of the display apparatus 200.

Referring to the method of FIG. 4A, the method includes the following steps S51-S53:

step S51: in response to a first input instruction, displaying a first setup page on a display to adjust respective menu options in the first setup page based on user input; for example, the first setting page of fig. 3E is displayed as: a color temperature adjustment page 44. The color temperature adjustment page 44 includes a color temperature adjustment menu option, which is specifically adjusted by adjusting the numerical value bar of the color temperature parameter. In fig. 3E, when the user presses the plus key on the control device 100, the display device 200 responds to the key input command, and the circular slider on the numerical bar for adjusting the color temperature parameter value is moved toward the numerical value 10 along the direction of the numerical bar; when the user presses the minus key on the control device 100, the display device 200 responds to the key input instruction, and the circular slide button on the numerical bar moves to the numerical value 0 along the direction of the numerical bar, thereby realizing the adjustment of the color temperature parameter.

Step S52: and responding to a second input instruction for selecting the first option in the first setting page, jumping from the first setting page to a second setting page, and adjusting the corresponding menu option in the second setting page based on user input. For example, in fig. 3E, a first option in the color temperature adjustment page 44 is: a cyan RGB Gain adjustment page, after the user completes the color temperature adjustment menu option, the user presses a down button on the control device 100 to instruct the selector 43 to select a first option named the cyan RGB Gain adjustment page, and then, by pressing a confirm button or an OK button on the pressure control device 100, in response to a second input instruction to select the first option named the cyan RGB Gain adjustment page, jumps from the color temperature adjustment page 44 of fig. 3E to the RGB Gain adjustment page 45 shown in fig. 3F.

In fig. 3F, when the user presses the down direction key on the control apparatus 100, the display device 200 selects the value bar for adjusting the level of the Red parameter value in response to the key input instruction; when the user presses the plus key on the control device 100, the display device 200 responds to the key input instruction, and the circular slide button on the Red parameter numerical value bar moves to the numerical value +30 along the direction of the numerical value bar; when the user presses the minus key on the control device 100, the display device 200 responds to the key input command, and the circular slide button on the numerical bar moves to the numerical value-30 along the direction of the numerical bar, thereby realizing the adjustment of the Red parameter. And then, by pressing a down key on the control device 100, selecting a numerical bar of the Green parameter, and then by pressing a plus key or a minus key on the control device 100, the adjustment of the Green parameter is realized.

Specifically, with reference to the method shown in fig. 4B, step S52 may specifically include the following steps:

it should be noted that each Application (function) has multiple View states (viewing states), each View State corresponds to a Screen (page), and each Application has a View State Machine (viewing State Machine); the View State Machine can manage and store State switching history, can receive events such as KeyEvent (key Event), Timeout (TimeOut Event) and Notify (notification Event) from the underlying AppMgr, can manage the received Event queue (Event queue), and finally controls and distributes the events to each View State.

Step S521: and responding to a second input instruction for selecting the first option in the first setting page, and sending a KeyEvent event to KeyHandler registered by an application or service corresponding to the target function.

Step S522: and the KeyHandler sends the KeyEvent event to a View State Machine of an application or service corresponding to the target function.

Step S523: carrying out logic processing or key filtration on the received KeyEvent event by using a View State Machine of an application or service corresponding to a target function;

step S524: and jumping from the first set page to a second set page according to the KeyEvent event after logic processing or key filtering.

Specifically, taking the color temperature function as an example, the user enters the color temperature adjustment page through the setting menu, instructs the selector 43 to select the first option named as the cyan RGB Gain adjustment page, and then presses the confirmation key or the OK key on the voltage control device 100, the system sends a KeyEvent to a KeyHandler registered by the application corresponding to the color temperature function through the AppMgr, after receiving the KeyEvent, the KeyHandler distributes the KeyEvent to a View State Machine of the application corresponding to the color temperature function, and the View State Machine performs logic processing or key filtering according to the received KeyEvent, which may be to determine the key type, and finally controls the View State skip to realize the skip from the color temperature adjustment page to the RGB Gain adjustment page.

Step S53: and responding to a third input instruction for selecting a second option in the second setting page, jumping from the second setting page to the first setting page, and adjusting the corresponding menu option in the first setting page based on user input again.

For example, the color temperature function is set by jointly adjusting the color temperature parameter in the first setting page and the RGB Gain parameter in the second setting page. The color temperature parameter adjustment is a coarse adjustment of the color temperature function, while the RGB Gain parameter is a fine adjustment of the color temperature function.

Illustratively, coarse and fine adjustments of the color temperature function may require frequent switching to alternate settings. In response to a second input instruction by the user selecting the first option in the first setting page, the display apparatus 200 may jump from the color temperature adjustment page 44 shown in fig. 3E to the RGB Gain adjustment page 45 of fig. 3F, and then may also respond to a third input instruction by the user selecting the second option in the second setting page. For example, the RGB Gain adjustment page in fig. 3F has a second option named cyan temperature, after the RGB Gain parameter adjustment of the RGB Gain adjustment page is completed, the user needs to return to the color temperature parameter adjustment page again, the user can press the down button on the control device 100 to instruct the selector 43 to select the first option named cyan RGB Gain adjustment page, and then press the confirm key or OK key on the control device 100 to jump from the RGB Gain adjustment page 45 back to the color temperature adjustment page 44, so that the user adjusts the color temperature adjustment menu option in the color temperature adjustment page 44 again. And after multiple times of switching and alternate adjustment, the color temperature effect required by the user is obtained.

For example, as shown in fig. 3E, when the display effect corresponding to the color temperature needs to be adjusted, the display device 200 may adjust the value of the color temperature to 3 based on an plus/minus key or a direction key instruction input by the user. At this time, if the user needs to further adjust the display effect, the display device 200 may jump from the interface shown in fig. 3E to the interface shown in fig. 3F in response to the blue key instruction input by the user. The display apparatus 200 adjusts the value of R Gain to 7, the value of G Gain to-29, and the value of B Gain to 30, respectively, based on an up/down key or a direction key instruction input by a user. At this time, the display device 200 may jump from the interface shown in fig. 3F to the interface shown in fig. 3E in response to the blue key instruction input by the user, and the value of the color temperature is still 3.

If the user is still not satisfied with the display effect, the color temperature values shown in fig. 3E and the RGB Gain values shown in fig. 3F may be adjusted.

Here, a text corresponding to the numerical value may also be displayed on the parameter numerical bars in fig. 3E and 3F to prompt the user of the adjustment value of the current parameter, so as to improve the user experience.

The present application further provides a method for setting functions of a display device 200, which is applied to the display device 200, as shown in fig. 4C, and includes:

For example, the color temperature adjustment page 44 of fig. 3E includes therein a color key guide configured to guide the user to operate to implement the second predetermined function: cyan RGB Gain adjustment. The cyan RGB Gain adjusted color key guides the user to press the B key in the control device 100 of fig. 5, enabling a jump from the color temperature adjustment page 44 of fig. 3E to the RGB Gain adjustment page 45 of fig. 3F. The user is enabled to adjust the RGB Gain parameter options in the RGB Gain adjustment page 45 of fig. 3F.

Step S63: and responding to a second input instruction of the user through pressing a color key on the control device 100, jumping from the second setting page to the first setting page to adjust a corresponding menu option in the first setting page to realize the first preset function.

For example, the RGB Gain adjustment page 45 of fig. 3F includes therein a color key guide configured to guide the user to operate to implement a first predetermined function: a cyan temperature. The color key for cyan temperature guides the user to press the B key in the control device 100 of fig. 5, enabling a jump from the RGB Gain adjustment page 45 of fig. 3F back to the color temperature adjustment page 44 of fig. 3E. The user is enabled to adjust the color temperature parameter options in the color temperature adjustment page 44 of fig. 3E.

In addition, the first predetermined function and the second predetermined function are associated, for example, the color temperature parameter and the RGBGain parameter are associated, and the setting of the color temperature function is realized together.

By setting the color key guide in the page to instruct the user to press the color key in the control device 100, one key enables quick jumping between associated predetermined function pages.
