The user can press a preset key (such as a home key) on the remote controller, and the television responds to the key instruction to display a television home page as shown in fig. 2. Wherein, the stage display area is an area A, and the application display area is an area B; when the focus is on a certain application in the B zone, items associated with the corresponding application, such as videos, etc., are presented in the a zone.

As shown in fig. 2, the current focus is on application 2, and then items related to application 2 are presented in the stage presentation area: application 2 program 1, application 2 program 2, application 2 program 3, etc.

In practical applications, the user can add favorite content to the launcher homepage on the channel list page and the channel list page by using the remote controller color key, and each channel or channel has a control diagram as shown in fig. 10. Fig. 10 a is a schematic diagram of a channel snapshot control, and fig. 10 b is a schematic diagram of a channel snapshot control. Wherein, zone 1: background area, channel, each favorite snapshot of channel increases the background in order to show the snapshot effect better. Zone 2: and the icon display area is used for distinguishing channels and channels. Zone 3: the favorite snapshot content name field. Here, fig. 10 (a) shows a snapshot control of a channel, DC 04576 i shows a certain channel name, fig. 10 (b) shows a snapshot control of a channel, and HDMI3 shows a certain channel name.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a channel list page provided in the embodiment of the present application, so as to implement adding a channel to a home page:

in one possible design, for example, to add a channel, the user may press a preset button (e.g., a channel button) on the remote controller, and the tv responds to the button to jump from the tv homepage shown in fig. 2 to the channel list page shown in fig. 3. On the channel list page, as shown in fig. 3, according to the prompt, the user can press a preset key (e.g. a menu key) on the remote controller, and the television responds to the key instruction to add the HDM1 channel selected by the focus to the home page.

As shown in fig. 4, when the user presses a preset key (e.g., home key) on the remote controller, the tv responds to the key command to jump from the channel list page shown in fig. 3 to the tv home page shown in fig. 4 again. The added HDM1 channel is displayed in the stage display area, and a newly added favorite content entry is displayed in the application display area, where the favorite content entry may be application 0, specifically ShortCuts. Meanwhile, the applications 1-14 in the application display area all move backwards by an application distance.

In some embodiments, when the focus selects the HDM1 channel, a prompt is also displayed in the home page indicating deletion of the selected HDM1 channel. The prompt words include characters and pictures, and the pictures are key pictures corresponding to preset keys (such as menu keys) on the remote controller. In some embodiments, when the user presses a key (e.g., a menu key) on the remote control that corresponds to a key picture in the prompt, the television responds to the key command to delete the selected HDM1 channel item.

In some embodiments, when the user selects to add the HDM2 channel to the tv home page in the channel list page shown in fig. 3 again, as shown in fig. 5, the process of adding the HDM2 channel is similar to the process of adding the HDM1 channel, and is not described herein again. It should be noted that the stage display area of the home page has an additional HDM2 channel, and the HDM2 channel is located before the HDM1 channel, as shown in fig. 6.

On the basis of fig. 6, if the user wants to delete the HDM2 channel, after deleting the HDM2 channel, the homepage display, as shown in fig. 4, no longer displays the HDM2 channel but only displays the HDM1 channel for the item corresponding to the application 0. If the user deletes the HDM1 channel on the basis of FIG. 4, the home page reverts to the interface schematic shown in FIG. 2.

Referring to fig. 7, the focus is on the HDM1 channel associated with application 0, and after the HDM1 channel is deleted, the home page displays, referring to fig. 8, the HDM1 channel is no longer displayed, and only the HDM2 channel is displayed for the item corresponding to application 0. If the user deletes the HDM2 channel on the basis of FIG. 8, the home page reverts to the interface schematic shown in FIG. 2.

In one possible design, the user can add favorite contents to the homepage and rename the favorite contents, as shown in fig. 9, the user can select an item to be operated, such as adding to the homepage or renaming, through a preset key (e.g. up and down keys) on the remote controller according to a prompt, and when the user selects a certain item, the television responds to the key command by adding the HDM1 channel selected by the focus to the homepage or renaming through a preset key (e.g. menu key) on the remote controller.

Wherein, the whole machine response process of the channel addition is as follows:

pressing a preset key (such as a menu key) on the channel page, and judging whether the favorite content is added to the homepage or not;

if yes, popping up a prompt toast (notification box) to prompt that the favorite is already at the homepage; if not, adding the attributes of the icon, classification, deletion, locking and the like of the snapshot display area, adding the favorite content data into the favorite array of the favorite website, and synchronously updating the data of the homepage display area.

Judging whether a television homepage (namely, launcher homepage) exists;

if yes, no processing is carried out; if not, the launcher home page is called up, the focus position index of the home page (or home page app) display area is changed to 0, and the launcher display focus is changed to the stage area (line number is 0).

Specifically, whether a channel currently selected by a user is added to a homepage is judged, if yes, a voice bomb toast prompts the user, and if not, the channel is normally added; adding a small icon representing a channel, a type, whether the channel can be deleted, a name or a channel number, and whether the channel is locked; plugging the newly added channel data addChannel into the forefront of the favorite snapshot data which has been added by the user before; and calling a function syncMainTileData of the synchronous homepage application display area, and judging whether to display the ShortCuts entry graph or not according to the data volume of the currently favorite data, namely the favorite data. If the current launcher home page is not present, the home page is pulled up; changing the currently memorized app display area position to 0, because the focus is required on the stage area which likes the snapshot at this time; when the launcher main page is displayed, recording each row number by using the rowIndex, and changing the current row number into a stage area: 0; favorite snapshot data added to the homepage by the user is recorded in localStorage of the browser.

In one possible arrangement, for example, to add a channel, the user may press a preset key (e.g., a channel list key) on the remote control, which causes the television to jump from the home page of the television shown in fig. 2 to the channel list page of fig. 11 in response to the user command. On the channel list page, as shown in fig. 11, according to the prompt, when the user presses a preset key (e.g. a color key, which may be a blue key) on the remote controller, the tv adds the channel 2 selected by the focus to the main page in response to the key instruction.

As shown in fig. 12, when the user presses a preset key (e.g., home key) on the remote controller, the tv jumps again from the channel list page shown in fig. 11 to the tv home page shown in fig. 12 in response to the key instruction. The added channel 2 is displayed in the stage display area, and a newly added favorite content entry is displayed in the application display area, wherein the favorite content entry can be an application 0, and specifically can be ShortCuts. Meanwhile, the applications 1-14 in the application display area all move backwards by an application distance.

On the basis of fig. 12, the focus is on channel 2 associated with application 0, and according to the prompt, the user presses a preset key (e.g., a menu key) on the remote controller, and the television responds to the key instruction to delete channel 2, so that the home page returns to the interface schematic diagram shown in fig. 2.

Wherein, the whole response process of the channel addition is as follows:

pressing a blue key on a channel list page to judge whether the favorite content is added to a homepage;

if yes, popping up a prompt toast to prompt that the favorite homepage is displayed; if not, adding the attributes of the icon, classification, deletion, locking and the like of the snapshot display area, adding the favorite content data into the favorite array of the favorite website, and synchronously updating the data of the homepage display area.

Judging whether a television homepage (namely, launcher homepage) exists;

if the display focus is 0, the launcher home page is called up, the focus position index of the home page (or home page app) display area is changed to 0, and the launcher display focus is changed to the stage area (the row number is 0).

Specifically, whether the channel currently selected by the user is added to the homepage is judged, if yes, the user is prompted by a voice bomb toast, and if not, the channel is normally added; add a small icon representing a channel, type, whether it can be deleted, name or channel number, whether it is locked; inserting the newly added channel data addChannel into the forefront of the favorite snapshot data which has been added by the user before; and calling a function syncMainTileData of the synchronous homepage application display area, and judging whether to display the ShortCuts entry graph or not according to the data volume of the currently favorite data, namely the favorite data. If the current launcher home page is not present, the home page is pulled up; changing the currently memorized app display area position to 0, because the focus is required on the stage area which likes the snapshot at this time; when the launcher main page is displayed, recording each row number by using the rowIndex, and changing the current row number into a stage area: 0; favorite snapshot data added to the homepage by the user is recorded in localStorage of the browser.

In one possible design, for example, to add a web page, the user may press a preset button (e.g., a shortcut application button) on the remote control, and the tv responds to the button to jump from the tv homepage shown in fig. 2 to the browser application page shown in fig. 13. In the web page in the browser, as shown in fig. 13, when the user presses a preset key (e.g., a color key, which may be a blue key) on the remote controller, the television responds to the key instruction to add the selected web page 1 (e.g., a web page thumbnail corresponding to the web rock 1) to the home page. Jumping again from the channel list page shown in figure 13 to the tv home page shown in figure 14,

as shown in fig. 14, when the user presses a preset key (e.g., home key) on the remote controller, the tv jumps again to the tv home page shown in fig. 14 from the browser application page shown in fig. 13 in response to the key instruction. The added webpage 1 is displayed in the stage display area, and a newly added favorite content entry is displayed in the application display area, wherein the favorite content entry can be an application 0, and specifically can be ShortCuts. Meanwhile, the applications 1-14 in the application display area all move backwards by an application distance.

On the basis of fig. 14, the focus is on the web page 1 associated with the application 0, according to the prompt, the user presses a preset key (e.g., a menu key) on the remote controller, the television responds to the key instruction to delete the web page 1, and then the home page returns to the interface schematic diagram shown in fig. 2.

Specifically, for adding a thumbnail of a web page to a home page, when the user selects "left arrow" (indicating return) in the page as shown in fig. 13, the web page is returned to the previous page by pressing a corresponding color key on the remote controller according to the prompt; when the user selects the "right arrow" in the page (indicating continuation), the next page is entered by pressing the corresponding color key on the remote control; when the user selects the next adjacent position on the right side of the right arrow in the page, namely a collection mark (representing collection), the page is collected by pressing a corresponding color key on the remote controller according to the prompt; when the user selects the next adjacent position on the right side of the collection mark in the page, namely the 'adding home page mark' (representing the home page), the page snapshot thumbnail is added to the home page by pressing a corresponding color key on the remote controller according to the prompt.

The method for displaying the content in the homepage includes that the webpage is added to the homepage, the channel is added to the channel, and the channel is different from the homepage, so that the method cannot be applied to displaying the added content only by using a self-set icon, and data such as a thumbnail, url and a source of the added webpage need to be displayed on the homepage according to the added webpage.

In this embodiment, the specific process of adding the favorite web page snapshot from the browser is as follows:

clicking a Browser application TV Browser on a television, then pressing a corresponding key on a remote controller to prompt a user whether to confirm addition to a homepage, wherein the user can fill in a thumbnail name, and then after completing filling in, prompting that toast addition is successful; storing relevant data of the snapshot into browser AppInfo.json, storing the relevant data in a television memory, exiting the application and returning to a homepage, and reading data in a browser AppInfo.json file; traversing the current favorites data array, judging whether the newly added webpage snapshot is added to the favorites, if so, not adding the newly added content to the favorites data, and ending the adding operation; if not, the newly added snapshot is added to the first place of the favorite data, and the homepage data is updated.

When a user starts a launcher, the content in the file is read, each item of data of the AppInfo is traversed, UR L is used for comparing with the content of favorite data, which is currently stored in localStorage, if the thumbnail snapshot data is not added before, the thumbnail snapshot data is added to the head of a favorite data array, and after all data in the AppInfo are traversed in sequence, the webpage thumbnail and the channel snapshot can be simultaneously displayed in a stage area.

Note here a rule (i.e., the process of changing the order of data as web pages are added): the favorite content newly added by the user is permanently at the head of the whole favorite data list, so that the data are added by using an unset array method; when traversing the web page snapshot data, the rule is as follows:

order of user addition: favorite web page 1, favorite web page 2, favorite web pages 3, …, and favorite web page N; json, the order stored by the browser application in browser appinfo: favorite web page 1, favorite web page 2, favorite web pages 3, …, and favorite web page N; traversal of the order of post launcher homepage reveal: favorite web pages N, …, favorite web page 3, favorite web page 2, and favorite web page 1.

In a possible design, when the user does not want to retain the previously added favorite snapshot content, the focus may be moved to the snapshot content that is desired to be deleted, the snapshot is deleted using the global key MENU key, and the page after the snapshot is deleted may be as shown in fig. 2 or fig. 8, if all the snapshot contents are deleted, the interface shown in fig. 2 is restored, and if part of the snapshot contents are deleted and the remaining snapshot contents are left, the interface shown in fig. 8 may be referred to. The realization method comprises the following steps:

the parameter is index, which refers to the position of the snapshot that is expected to be deleted in the favorite data, and the data at the position is deleted from the favorite data array; if no favorite data exists after deletion, the data content of the homepage app needs to be updated once, and shortCuts entries are deleted; and the new favorite data array is stored in the localStorage again, so that the previous addition of the user can be still saved after the user is powered on and powered off.

Specifically, the specific process of deleting the whole machine operation that likes snapshots is as follows: the focus moves to the snapshot to be deleted, the user clicks the MENU key, the television receives a key signal, the Biz layer converts the received key into a key code which can be identified by the browser, and the key code is transmitted to the browser; the UI receives the key codes, responds to the corresponding key contents, deletes data of the focus position in the favorite data, judges whether the favorite data is empty or not, updates data in a homepage display area if the favorite data is empty, and then restores the favorite data to localStorage; if not, the favorite data is stored in the localStorage again.

The display device provided by the application can provide the user with the quick entries and the thumbnails displayed in the customized homepage stage area according to personal preferences, can add or delete contents according to the user wishes, reduces the operation steps of obtaining the required contents by the user, namely reduces the frequent interaction with the smart television, thereby providing a more convenient user interaction mode and improving the user experience.

In this embodiment, if a first trigger event for instructing the snapshot operation of adding the content to be added is monitored, which indicates that a user wants to add a favorite content snapshot, such as a snapshot control or a thumbnail, to a television home page, before adding, the television first needs to self-detect whether the content to be added is already added to the television home page, if the content to be added is already added, a prompt message for prompting that the content is already added to the television home page is popped up on a current screen, and if the content is not added, a corresponding snapshot needs to be generated.

Wherein, aiming at a channel or a channel, a snapshot control is generated; for a web page, a thumbnail image (or a thumbnail snapshot) of the web page is generated.

Specifically, the content to be added includes: the system comprises a channel, a channel and a webpage, wherein the page to be added with content comprises: a channel page, a channel list page, and a web page. If a first trigger event for indicating a snapshot operation of adding the to-be-added content is monitored, generating a snapshot control or a thumbnail corresponding to the to-be-added content when it is detected that the to-be-added content is not on a television homepage, which may include:

In this embodiment, if the user transmits the indication signal generated by operating the preset key to the television, the television recognizes the indication signal as a first trigger event indicating that the snapshot operation is added by using the preset key, and then, in response to the first trigger event, generates a snapshot control corresponding to the content to be added when it is detected that the content to be added is not on the television homepage. If the user transmits an indication signal generated by operating an icon in a webpage to a television, the television recognizes the indication signal as a first trigger event for indicating addition of snapshot operation through the icon in the webpage, and then responds to the first trigger event, and generates a thumbnail corresponding to the content to be added when the fact that the content to be added is not on the television homepage is detected.

And S1503, adding the snapshot control or the thumbnail to a stage display area in the television homepage, wherein the stage display area is a stage area for providing a shortcut entrance for displaying the added snapshot control or thumbnail.

In this embodiment, the generated snapshot control or thumbnail is added to the stage display area in the television homepage, and the added position may be self-defined, or the added favorite snapshot may be displayed in the stage display area in a reverse manner according to the added sequence.

In addition, the processing procedure of the tv added to the stage display area in the tv homepage is different according to whether the added favorite content is a channel, a channel or a web page, for example, if the added favorite channel or channel is added, after the addition is completed, if the current screen displays a tv homepage other than the tv homepage, the tv can directly jump to the tv homepage on the current screen to display the added favorite content for the user; if the favorite web page is added, after the addition is finished, if the current screen displays a non-television homepage, the user needs to quit the web page of the current browser according to the instruction of the user, and then whether the added favorite content is at the first position of the stage display area of the television homepage is detected.

When the user adds the favorite content snapshot, the television homepage adds the favorite content snapshot entry. Specifically, after the adding the snapshot control or the thumbnail to the stage presentation area in the television home page, the method may further include the steps of:

a1, if the first trigger event is the first trigger event or no snapshot entry is detected in the television homepage, generating a snapshot entry in the television homepage, wherein the snapshot entry is located below the stage display area;

step a2, when detecting that the focus is at the snapshot entrance, displaying the favorite content added by the user in the stage display area, so that the user can make a corresponding response function jump by clicking, wherein the favorite content comprises the snapshot control and/or the thumbnail.

In this embodiment, the stage display area provides a shortcut entry for the user to view favorite contents, and the user can skip the response operation when clicking. In order to meet more requirements of users, in addition to selecting to view or watch videos provided by each application by moving a focus in an application display area, when the users need to view the added favorite contents in a television homepage, the stage display area only displays snapshots added by the users, and the television adds favorite snapshot entries in the television homepage. The snapshot entry added with the favorite snapshot is generated on the television homepage after favorite contents are added and if no snapshot entry is detected on the television homepage or the added favorite snapshot is the first favorite content, the snapshot entry can be customized at any position of the application display area, and the snapshot entry is positioned below the stage display area. Wherein, ShortCuts can be used to represent the snapshot entries, and the location of ShortCuts is the location of the application presentation area where the snapshot entries are located.

Specifically, after a snapshot entry is added, when a television homepage is displayed on a current screen, the position of a focus can be monitored, and when the focus is detected to be at the snapshot entry, favorite contents added by a user, such as a snapshot control and/or a thumbnail, are displayed in the stage display area, so that the user can perform corresponding response function jump when clicking, a convenient interaction mode is provided for the user, and the user experience is improved.

Therefore, if the first trigger event is a first trigger event or it is detected that a snapshot entry and a term prompt area do not exist in the television homepage, a snapshot entry and a term prompt area are generated in the television homepage, and the snapshot entry and the term prompt area are respectively located below the stage display area; when the focus is detected to be at the snapshot entrance, displaying favorite contents added by the user in the stage display area so that the user can perform corresponding response function jump by clicking, wherein the favorite contents comprise the snapshot control and/or the thumbnail; and if any snapshot control or thumbnail with a focus on the stage display area is detected, displaying a prompt entry for prompting a user to delete the current snapshot control or thumbnail in a preset mode in the entry prompt area. The method and the device have the advantages that the shortcut entries and the thumbnails displayed in the homepage stage area can be customized by the user according to personal preferences, the contents can be added or deleted according to the user's will, operation steps of obtaining the required contents by the user are reduced, and user experience is improved.

In one possible design, when the user adds a favorite content snapshot, the home page adds a hint entry that deletes the added content using the MENU key. Specifically, after the adding the snapshot control or the thumbnail to the stage presentation area in the television home page, the method may further include the steps of:

b1, if the first trigger event is the first trigger event or the fact that a term prompting area does not exist in the television homepage is detected, generating the term prompting area in the television homepage, wherein the term prompting area is positioned below the stage display area;

step b2, if any snapshot control or thumbnail focused on the stage display area is detected, displaying a prompt entry in the entry prompt area for prompting a user to delete the current snapshot control or thumbnail in a preset mode.

In this embodiment, in order to improve flexible use of the added favorite content, the television further provides a favorite snapshot deleting function. Specifically, after the user adds the favorite content snapshot, if it is detected that there is no entry prompt region on the tv homepage, or the added favorite snapshot is the first favorite content, an entry prompt region is generated in the tv homepage, and in order to save the overall layout of the tv homepage, the entry prompt region may be located below the stage display region, for example, between the stage display region and the application display region, and is close to the edge of the tv homepage.

After a snapshot entry is added, when a television home page is displayed on a current screen, the position of a focus can be monitored, when the focus is detected to be on a certain snapshot of the stage display area, such as a snapshot control or a thumbnail, a prompt entry prompting a user to delete the current snapshot control or the thumbnail through a preset mode is displayed in the entry prompt area, so that the user can delete the current snapshot control or the thumbnail according to the deletion mode on the prompt entry. For example, when the user does not want to retain the favorite snapshot content added before, the focus can be moved to the snapshot to be deleted, and the snapshot is deleted in a mode that the user prompts to delete the snapshot by using the global key MENU key on the prompt entry, so that the flexible response of the television homepage is improved, and the user experience is further improved.

In the method for adding snapshots in a television homepage provided in this embodiment, the order of each snapshot displayed in the stage display area is determined according to a specific adding order, and the order of thumbnails, channels, and the like is not specifically limited, and is implemented according to an actual application scenario. Firstly, monitoring a trigger event when a page of content to be added is displayed on a current screen; if a first trigger event for indicating snapshot operation of adding the content to be added is monitored, generating a snapshot control or a thumbnail corresponding to the content to be added when the content to be added is detected not to be in a television homepage; and then adding the snapshot control or the thumbnail to a stage area which provides a shortcut entrance for displaying the added snapshot control or thumbnail in the television homepage. The user can be according to individual hobby in this application, through the mode of liking the content snapshot at TV homepage addition, the content of stage show area in the self-defined TV homepage, and then whether have the addition according to the user on TV homepage, the content snapshot is liked in the content source show of addition, when the user need click to look over or search for looking over and liking the content, the content snapshot of liking that can select the addition in the stage show area on TV homepage, and then can look over fast and like the content, the frequent interaction with the smart television has been reduced, thereby provide more convenient user interaction mode, user experience has been improved.

In addition, if a first trigger event is monitored, generating corresponding snapshot content, and for how the snapshot content is generated, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, for example, on the basis of the embodiment described in fig. 3, if the first trigger event is a trigger event of adding a channel snapshot or a channel snapshot, the generating of the snapshot control corresponding to the content to be added includes:

and generating a channel snapshot or a channel snapshot corresponding to the content to be added according to the first trigger event.

Configuring a plurality of attributes for the channel snapshot or the channel snapshot, wherein the plurality of attributes comprise an icon, a classification type, whether deletion is supported or not and whether locking is carried out or not.

And storing the data of the content to be added into a preset array, and generating the channel snapshot or a snapshot control corresponding to the channel snapshot.

In addition, after the channel snapshot or the snapshot control corresponding to the channel snapshot is generated, snapshot viewing can be realized through the following steps:

step c1, detecting whether the snapshot entrance exists in the television homepage;

step c2, if yes, determining whether the interface displayed by the current screen is a television homepage;

and c3, if the interface displayed on the current screen is not the television home page, jumping to the television home page to enable the user to check whether the added snapshot control is in the stage display area or not from the television home page.

Optionally, the area where the snapshot entry is located further includes a plurality of applications; when focus is detected on the application, instructing the stage presentation area to display video content on the application.

In this embodiment, the user can add favorite contents to the channel page and the channel list page by using the remote controller color key and quickly illuminate the television homepage. Taking adding channels as an example, when the current screen is a channel list page, in the channel list page, the user uses the corresponding color key to add a shortcut entry to the corresponding channel to the television homepage.

Specifically, a user can press a corresponding color key on a channel list page to add a shortcut entry to a television homepage, in the process, firstly, the television monitors whether a first trigger event, namely a trigger event of adding a channel snapshot or a channel snapshot, if the trigger event of adding a webpage snapshot is monitored, firstly, whether favorite content, namely the channel is added to the television homepage is judged, and if yes, a prompt toast pops up to prompt that the favorite channel is already on the television homepage; if not, adding the attributes of the icon, classification, deletable property, locked property and the like of the channel snapshot display area, then adding the data of the favorite channel into favorite array favorite data (namely a preset array), synchronously updating the data of the television homepage display area, such as snapshot content and display sequence displayed in the stage display area, updating the application display area, such as adding a snapshot entry and the like, or adding a prompt phrase area. Then judging whether the current screen displays a television homepage or not, if so, not processing; if not, the television home page is called up, i.e. jumps to the television home page. On the television home page, the user can change the focus position of the whole display area (including a stage display area and an application display area), and can also store the data of the currently favorite contents in a local memory.

In practical application, the television firstly judges whether a channel currently selected by a user is added to a homepage, if so, the user is prompted by a talk burst, and if not, the channel is normally added; then adding attributes such as small icons, types, whether channels can be deleted, names or channel numbers, whether locking is carried out and the like, and plugging the newly added channel data into the forefront of the favorite snapshots which have been added by the user before; calling a function synclineTileData of an application display area (data of the area B) of the synchronous television homepage, and judging whether to display a ShortCuts entrance graph or not according to the data volume of the current favorite data; if the current television homepage is not in the screen, the homepage is pulled up, the position of the application display area in the current screen is changed to 0, because the focus is required to be on the stage display area which is fond of snapshots at the moment, during the display of the television homepage, row numbers are recorded by using rowIndex, and the current row number is changed to the stage display area: 0. the data of the favorite snapshots that the user added to the tv homepage is then recorded in the local storage localStorage of the browser.

In a possible design, if a first trigger event is monitored, generating corresponding snapshot content, and for how the snapshot content is generated, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, in this embodiment, if the first trigger event is a trigger event for adding a web page snapshot, generating a thumbnail corresponding to the content to be added includes:

displaying prompt information for prompting a user whether to confirm that the content to be added is added to the homepage or not according to the first trigger event; if a first confirmation instruction of a user is received, generating a webpage snapshot and an input box named for the webpage snapshot, and displaying the input box; configuring a plurality of attributes for the web page snapshot, wherein the plurality of attributes comprise an icon, a classification type, whether deletion is supported and whether locking is carried out; and if an input name event is received, storing data corresponding to the web page snapshot into a preset file, generating a thumbnail corresponding to the web page snapshot, and prompting a user that the addition of the thumbnail is successful.

In this embodiment, the addition of the web page to the tv homepage is slightly different from the addition of the channel and the channel, because the added content cannot be displayed only by the user-defined icon, and the data such as the thumbnail, url, source, etc. of the added web page needs to be displayed on the tv homepage.

In addition, after the addition is finished, the television can perform self-detection aiming at the addition of the channels or the channels, and if the current screen display is not the television homepage, the television can automatically jump to the television homepage; however, for the addition of the web page, since the current screen is the web page, the user needs to be prompted to exit the web page and then enter the television homepage, and therefore, for the difference of the two types of added contents, the specific adding process and the display process of the television homepage are different.

Optionally, how to display the television homepage may be implemented, for example, after the thumbnail corresponding to the web page snapshot is generated and the user is prompted to successfully add the thumbnail, through the following steps:

step d1, displaying the prompt information on the current screen for prompting the user whether to exit the current webpage and return to the television homepage;

step d2, if receiving the second confirmation instruction, quitting the current webpage and returning to the television homepage;

step d3, reading the data in the preset file, traversing a preset array, and determining whether the data of the content to be added is in the preset array;

and d4, if the data are not in the preset array, adding the data corresponding to the web page snapshot stored in the preset file to the preset array.

In this embodiment, after the user clicks a browser application TV on the television, if the user wants to add a current webpage as a favorite content, the user clicks a plus icon on the upper right corner of the browser, then the television prompts the user whether to confirm that the added webpage is quickly viewed on the television homepage, and at the same time, provides an input box for naming the webpage snapshot for the user, and the user can fill in the name of the thumbnail, then prompt the user to add a snapshot successfully, and store relevant data of the snapshot in a television memory, for example, in browser appinfo.

Then prompting the user whether to quit the current application, if receiving a second confirmation instruction for confirming the quit, quitting the current webpage and returning to the television main page, then reading all data in the preset file by the television, traversing the current favorite array, judging whether the newly added webpage snapshot is added to the favorite array, if so, not adding the newly added content to the favorite array, and ending the adding process; and if not, adding the newly added snapshot to the first position of the stage display area where the favorite array is located, and updating data of the television homepage, such as the snapshot position of the stage display area.

After the user adds the thumbnail snapshot data, the thumbnail snapshot data is added to the head of the favorite data array, and after all data in the AppInfo are sequentially traversed, the webpage thumbnail, the channel snapshot and the channel snapshot can be simultaneously displayed in a stage display area.

In practical application, the favorite content newly added by a user is permanently at the head of the whole favorite data list, so that data addition is carried out by using an unshift array method; when traversing the web page snapshot data, the rule is as follows:

the change process of the data sequence when the webpage is added comprises the following steps: the user adds the

favorite web pages

1, 2, 3, … and N in sequence; json files of the television in the browser appinfo are favorite web page 1, favorite web page 2, favorite web pages 3, … and favorite web page N, but after traversal, the television homepage is displayed in the stage display area as follows: favorite web pages N, …, favorite web page 3, favorite web page 2, and favorite web page 1.

In one possible design, when the user does not want to retain the previously added favorite snapshot content, the focus may be moved to the snapshot content that is wanted to be deleted, and the snapshot is deleted by using the global key MENU key, and the implementation method may include the following steps:

if the focus is monitored to be on any snapshot control or thumbnail in the stage display area on the current screen, monitoring a trigger event; if a second trigger event for indicating deletion of the snapshot operation is monitored, converting a key triggering the second trigger event into a key code meeting a preset key code rule; and responding to the second trigger event according to the key codes, and deleting the data corresponding to the position of the focus in the preset array.

In this embodiment, the user may move the focus to a snapshot to be deleted, once the television is monitored, the user is prompted in the prompt vocabulary area to delete the snapshot where the current focus is located by a specific manner, for example, clicking a MENU key, when a second trigger event for instructing deletion of the snapshot operation is monitored, that is, the television receives a key signal, the Biz layer converts the received key into a key code that can be recognized by the television and returns, the television receives the key code, responds to the corresponding key content, for example, deletes the corresponding snapshot, and then determines whether the favorite array is empty, if yes, the application display area is updated, that is, the snapshot entry is no longer displayed in the television homepage, and waits for the favorite data to be restored to the local storage; if not, waiting for the favorite data to be restored to the local storage.

The user can be according to individual hobby in this application, through the mode of liking the content snapshot at TV homepage addition, the content of stage show area in the self-defined TV homepage, and then whether have the addition according to the user on TV homepage, the content snapshot is liked in the content source show of addition, when the user need click to look over or search for looking over and liking the content, the content snapshot of liking that can select the addition in the stage show area on TV homepage, and then can look over fast and like the content, the frequent interaction with the smart television has been reduced, thereby provide more convenient user interaction mode, user experience has been improved. When the user does not want to keep the favorite snapshot content added before, the focus can be moved to the snapshot content which is wanted to be deleted, and the snapshot is deleted by using the global key MENU, so that the use flexibility is improved. Since the interactive steps can be reduced, the use resources of the television can be saved.
