A schematic diagram of a user interface in a display device 200 according to an exemplary embodiment is illustrated in fig. 6. As shown in fig. 6, the user interface includes a plurality of view display areas, illustratively, a first view display area 201 and a play screen 202, wherein the play screen includes a layout of one or more different items. And a selector in the user interface indicating that the item is selected, the position of the selector being movable by user input to change the selection of a different item.

In some embodiments, different items may be presented by different controls, and the state of the control (e.g., background color, font, brightness, or size, etc.) may change as the selector is moved to the control position (i.e., the control is selected) to improve visibility. And at the moment, if a confirmation operation instruction of the user is received, entering an interface corresponding to the control.

It should be noted that the multiple view display areas may present display screens of different hierarchies. For example, a first view display area may present system-level item content (e.g., current properties, etc.), and a second view display area may present application-level item content (e.g., web video, VOD presentation, application screen, etc.).

Optionally, the different view display areas are presented with different priorities, and the display priorities of the view display areas are different among the view display areas with different priorities. If the priority of the system layer is higher than that of the application layer, when the user uses the acquisition selector and picture switching in the application layer, the picture display of the view display area of the system layer is not blocked; and when the size and the position of the view display area of the application layer are changed according to the selection of the user, the size and the position of the view display area of the system layer are not influenced.

The display frames of the same hierarchy can also be presented, at this time, the selector can switch between the first view display area and the second view display area, and when the size and the position of the first view display area are changed, the size and the position of the second view display area can be changed along with the change.

At present, when a user views specific contents of a certain control, the user needs to control a remote controller to click the control to see the corresponding contents under the control, so that the viewing of the contents corresponding to the control becomes complicated.

The user interaction interface shown in fig. 7 is provided with a plurality of controls, illustratively, including an advertisement control, at this time, the user needs to click to enter the advertisement control through the control device to view the content corresponding to the advertisement control, and if shown in fig. 8, the user can find the content corresponding to the control in the process, and first needs to select the control, and can view the content corresponding to the control by clicking a button on the control device.

In some embodiments, in response to that the duration of the stay of the selector on the first control is greater than or equal to a first preset duration, the display is controlled to create a suspension layer above the user interaction interface to display the first content corresponding to the first control. In some embodiments, in fig. 9, the display interface includes a first control (an exemplary vehicle advertisement control) selected and a second control different from the first control, after the user moves the selector 400 onto the first control through a button on the control device, the time length of the stay of the selector is monitored, and when the time length of the stay of the selector on the first control is greater than or equal to a first preset time length, first content corresponding to the first control is displayed on the suspension layer, so that the display displays the user interaction interface shown in fig. 10A. Illustratively, the media asset corresponding to the first control may only include image content, or may also include image and audio content, the first content may be a short video, a GIF animation, a still picture, or the like, and if the first content further corresponds to audio information, the audio information is analyzed by controlling an audio decoder while the first content is displayed.

In some embodiments, the base color of the hover layer may be transparent so that the user may view the interactive interface in which the first control is located while viewing the first content.

In some embodiments, to avoid false triggering, when the time length that the selector stays on the first control is less than the first preset time length, the display is not controlled to display the content corresponding to the control on the suspension layer.

In some embodiments, in response to that the duration of the stay of the selector on the first control is less than the first preset duration and the input confirmation operation instruction is received, the display is controlled to jump from the user interaction interface to a first interface corresponding to the first control. In some embodiments, in fig. 9, after the user moves the selector 400 to the control through a key on the control device, the time length of the selector staying on the first control is monitored, the time length of the selector staying on the first control is less than the first preset time length, and when an input confirmation operation instruction is received, the display is controlled to display the first interface shown in fig. 10B. In this embodiment, the user can input the confirmation operation instruction by pressing the "OK" key on the control device.

In some embodiments, the first interface and the interactive interface provided with the first control are also positioned in the video layer for display. In some embodiments, two interfaces may be displayed one on the video layer and one on the hover layer.

In some embodiments, the display content popped up in FIG. 10A is the same as the content displayed on the interface of FIG. 10B. In some embodiments the two may be different.

In some embodiments, when the pop-up display content of fig. 10A is displayed, if a confirmation operation instruction of the user is received, the display of the display content of fig. 10A is exited, and the interface shown in fig. 10B is displayed.

An embodiment of the present application shows a display device, including:

a controller configured to: and in response to the fact that the duration of the stay of the selector on the first control is larger than or equal to a first preset duration, controlling the display to create a suspension layer above the user interaction interface so as to display first content corresponding to the first control. And when the stay time of the selector on the first control is longer than or equal to a first preset time, creating a suspension layer on the user interaction interface, drawing a window on the suspension layer, and loading first content on the window.

In the embodiment of the application, the suspension layer may be an OSD (on-screen display).

It should be noted that the embodiment of the application can be applied to an advertisement control, and the content corresponding to the advertisement control can be advertisement audio and video. The embodiment of the application can also be applied to a business control arranged on a system, for example, an album control arranged in the system, and in response to the fact that the stay time of the selector on the first control is longer than or equal to a first preset time, the display is controlled to display the content corresponding to the album control, wherein the content corresponding to the album control can be all pictures in the album. Therefore, the user can browse the photo album without entering the photo album.

When the first control is an album control, detecting the stay time of the selector on the album control, creating a suspension layer above the user interaction interface where the album control is located when the stay time is longer than the preset time, and calling the storage content corresponding to the album control so as to display the image in the album on the suspension layer.

And when the staying time is less than the preset time length and a confirmation instruction is received, entering an album interface from the user interaction interface where the album control is located.

In some embodiments, after the content displayed on the suspension layer is finished or cancelled, the duration monitoring of the control is not performed any more. The problem that the logic of locking the screen cannot be executed due to repeated triggering of the floating layer to display the content is avoided.

In some embodiments, after the user has made a movement of the selector, detection of the length of time the selector remains on the control is resumed.

In some embodiments, in response to the first control being selected for less than the first preset duration, controlling the display to not create a hover layer over the user interaction interface. And the situation that the user continuously starts to turn up the suspension layer to display the corresponding content during the browsing period of the control is avoided.

In some embodiments, in response to that the duration of the stay of the selector on the first control is less than the first preset duration and the input confirmation operation instruction is received, the display is controlled to jump from the user interaction interface to a first interface corresponding to the first control.

In some embodiments, after receiving a confirmation operation instruction of the remote controller, if the first content is not displayed on the suspension layer at this time, the confirmation operation instruction is not responded, if the first content is not displayed on the suspension layer at this time, the time length of the selector staying on the current control is confirmed, and if the time length is less than the preset time length, the corresponding first interface is displayed according to the mapping relation corresponding to the first control.

In some embodiments, the hover layer is configured to dismiss after a preset length of time,

and during the period of displaying the first content corresponding to the first control on the created suspension layer, the selector on the user interaction interface does not respond to the operation of a control device. It should be noted that, in the present application, the control device is not capable of controlling the position of the selector on the user interaction interface during the displaying of the first content. Illustratively, the controller does not respond to the up, down, left and right key values of the remote controller, but responds to other key values, such as the switching key value, the return key value and the standby key value of the signal source.

In some embodiments, during the displaying of the first content, the controller receives an input confirmation operation instruction, controls the display to cancel the hover layer, and controls the display to jump from the user interaction interface to the first interface. At this time, when the user watches the first content corresponding to the suspension layer, if the user is interested in the corresponding content, the user presses the confirmation key, and the television responds to the confirmation operation instruction received at this time and enters the first interface corresponding to the first content. Illustratively, when a movie highlight is played in the suspension layer, if an input confirmation instruction is received, the movie detail page or the movie playing page corresponding to the movie highlight is skipped to according to the preset corresponding relationship.

In some embodiments, during the displaying of the first content, the controller receives an input return operation instruction, controls the display to cancel the hover layer, and controls the display to display the user interaction interface. At this time, when the user watches the first content corresponding to the floating layer, if the user is not interested in the corresponding content, the user presses the return key, and the television responds to the return operation instruction received at this time, cancels the display of the floating layer, and returns to the user interaction interface provided with the first control, so that the user can continue browsing.

In some embodiments, after the first content is displayed for a second preset time period, the display is controlled to cancel the floating layer, the display is controlled to display the user interaction interface, and the selector stays on the first control. At this moment, after the user finishes watching the first content corresponding to the floating layer, the display of the floating layer is cancelled, and the user interaction interface provided with the first control is returned to, so that the user can continue browsing.

In some embodiments, the monitoring of the timing is triggered by movement of the selector, since the selector remains on the first control without movement, and therefore does not re-trigger the monitoring of the timing.

In some embodiments, timing detection for the first control is simultaneously cancelled to avoid repeated triggering of displaying the first content at the hover layer. The controller may mark a first control that exhibits the first content (e.g., using a first identification), and upon detecting movement of the selector to the focus, may not perform timing monitoring if the first control is marked, and may perform timing monitoring if the first control is not marked.

In some embodiments, the marking of the first control may be cancelled according to a preset rule, such as a preset time period, or a power-off operation, or other rule, to control the frequency of the display of the first content, so as to avoid overexposure and thus poor experience.

In some embodiments, a second control is further disposed on the user interaction interface, and the controller does not respond when the selector stays on the second control for a time period greater than or equal to a first preset time period. And the second control is arranged on the user interaction interface, and the content corresponding to the second control cannot be displayed when the stay time of the selector is greater than or equal to a second preset time.

The second control is different from the first control, different marks (second identifications) can be set on the second control, and the second control does not trigger the display of the suspension layer. After the controller detects that the selector moves to the focus, if the control is not marked, timing monitoring can not be carried out, therefore, even if the stay time is longer than the first preset time, the controller can not trigger the suspension layer to respond, and if the control is marked, timing monitoring is carried out.
