The embodiment of the application can be applied to various types of display devices (including but not limited to smart televisions, liquid crystal televisions, set top boxes and the like), and the corresponding external devices can comprise Bluetooth external devices, infrared external devices or other wireless external devices. The following describes a control method for fast pairing a display device and an external device by taking a control scheme and a user interface for fast pairing a bluetooth remote controller with a smart television as an example.
Fig. 5A is a schematic diagram illustrating a user interface of a television paired with a bluetooth remote controller according to an embodiment of the present application.
In some embodiments, the smart television receives a pairing instruction sent by the external device bluetooth remote controller in the on state, and the pairing instruction may be implemented by long pressing a MENU key of the remote controller or a specific key.
It can be understood that under normal conditions, a user normally presses a MENU key to implement a MENU display function on the television user interface, and when the long pressing time exceeds a preset time threshold, for example, the long pressing time exceeds 5 seconds, an instruction sent by the remote controller will be recognized by the smart television as a pairing instruction or an unpairing instruction.
In some embodiments, after the user presses the MENU key for a long time or presses a specific key for a long time, the smart television receives an instruction sent by the remote controller, and monitors and judges the current connection state between the smart television and the bluetooth remote controller through a remote controller broadcast packet; if the remote controller and the intelligent television are judged not to be in pairing relationship, a pairing process is triggered; if the remote controller is paired with the smart television, a process of reconfiguring the remote controller is triggered, and specific logic of the process is shown in fig. 6A.
In some embodiments, when the smart television is not paired with the remote controller, the first controller of the television will automatically pair to connect to the external device bluetooth remote controller without further operation by the user based on the received pairing instruction.
For example, under any user interface of the smart television, the user presses the "Menu" key of the bluetooth remote controller for a long time; then, the prompt message at the bottom of the user interface of the smart television can be viewed; after receiving the message that the remote controller presses the ' Menu ', the intelligent television starts to connect and displays a prompt message of ' Bluetooth remote connection. After the remote controller is paired and connected with the smart television, a message of "pairing is successful" is prompted to the user if the remote controller is paired successfully, as shown in fig. 5B; the user is prompted for a "bluetooth remote unpaired" message if pairing fails, as shown in fig. 5C.
Compared with the traditional pairing connection of the external equipment and the intelligent television, the technical scheme provided by the application completes all connection actions in the background, all operations can be completed in the background only by triggering specific operations by a user, after the external equipment Bluetooth remote controller is paired to the intelligent television, the television user interface is controlled to display pairing success information, a Bluetooth starting interface is not displayed any more, the user does not need to manually start Bluetooth, manually control and search nearby Bluetooth equipment, select and pair a plurality of searched Bluetooth equipment, record and input adaptation codes, the user interface after the Bluetooth remote controller is successfully paired is shown in figure 5B, and the user interface displays concise prompt information 'pairing success'.
In some embodiments, after the user controls the remote controller to issue the pairing instruction, the first controller may control the user interface to display pairing connection information, which may be displayed as a prompt message "bluetooth remote connect", as shown in fig. 5A, for example, to prompt the user that the remote controller pairing instruction issued by the user starts to execute a corresponding command at the smart television terminal, so as to avoid repeated operations; before the pairing success information shown in fig. 5B is displayed, the user only needs to wait for the pairing success information, and no other operation is needed.
Similarly, when the bluetooth remote controller fails to pair with the smart television, the first controller controls the user interface to display pairing failure information, for example, as "bluetooth remote unpaired", as shown in fig. 5C.
In some embodiments, when the bluetooth remote controller is paired with the smart television, the user sends a deallocation command by pressing a MENU key, and after the smart television receives the deallocation command sent by the bluetooth remote controller, the first controller controls the smart television to automatically deallocate the paired bluetooth remote controller without other operations of the user based on the deallocation command.
After the bluetooth remote control is decoupled from the smart tv, the first controller will control the user interface to display unpaired information, as shown in fig. 5C, which prompt information may be shown as "bluetooth remote unpaired", for example. In the process of the Bluetooth remote controller for the pairing and the uncoupling, the user interface still has no other space display which needs user operation and interaction, so that the operation difficulty of a user is reduced, the remote controller is paired, the uncoupling operation interface is simpler, and the operation convenience of pairing and uncoupling is improved.
Fig. 5D is a schematic diagram of a user interface of a television paired with a bluetooth remote controller according to another embodiment of the present application.
In some embodiments, the remote controller can be configured to support both bluetooth and infrared functions, and for the conventional channel changing, volume adjusting and other functions, the speed and distance control of the infrared function of the remote controller can be completed; the remote controller operates the smart television through the voice command, and due to the fact that the data volume of the smart television is increased, the Bluetooth function of the remote controller, which is higher in transmission rate, faster in response and longer in control distance, is needed to be achieved.
When the infrared function of the remote controller is connected and the Bluetooth function is not connected, the user sends a certain function instruction which can be realized only through Bluetooth transmission to the television through the remote controller; the first controller of the television receives the function instruction sent by the remote controller, and controls the user interface to display prompt information for prompting a user to send a pairing instruction method according to the function instruction so as to help the user complete pairing of the Bluetooth system of the remote controller and the smart television.
The function instruction is implemented by pressing a voice key and can be used for sending a voice instruction to control the television to search programs. Before the Bluetooth system of the remote controller is not matched with the smart television, the voice key is used for enabling the first controller to achieve the voice key triggering effect, namely prompt information for helping a user to match the Bluetooth system of the remote controller with the television is displayed; after the Bluetooth system of the remote controller is matched with the smart television, the instruction sent after the voice key of the remote controller is pressed is used for enabling the first controller of the television to realize the voice instruction function corresponding to the voice key.
For example, in the case that the bluetooth remote controller is not connected to the tv, the user presses the Voice key of the "Voice" remote controller, and the smart tv detects that the bluetooth remote controller is not connected and controls the user interface to display a prompt message "please press the Menu key of the remote controller for 5 seconds first to connect to the tv in a paired manner", as shown in fig. 5D.
In some embodiments, the remote control is infrared and Bluetooth dual mode to ensure that the remote control can be used in any situation.
