When the user touches the shortcut pull-down control 103, the display may show the sub-button interface of the color pull-down control 102, which includes: the red control 111, the green control 112, the yellow control 113, and the blue control 114 can be specifically referred to in fig. 11.

As a feasible implementation manner, as shown in fig. 10, the sub-button interface 103 of the digital pull-down control 102 may further include a special character control 105, where the special character control 105 corresponds to a different key value in different application scenarios, for example, in an application scenario of inputting a password, the special character control 105 corresponds to ". For another example, in an application scenario of channel change, the special character control 10A corresponds to "-", the user wants to switch to the "4-1" channel, and the user can successively touch "4", the special character controls 102 and "1" in fig. 10.

As a feasible implementation manner, each time the controller responds to the user touching the digital control, the controller does not immediately respond to the generated infrared key value, but waits for a certain time (this implementation may be referred to as a waiting time, and this waiting time is not limited in this embodiment, and the waiting time may be set according to a requirement, for example, in some feasible embodiments, the waiting time may be 3s), and if the user touches the digital control again within the waiting time, the controller records the generated infrared key values twice, and then sequentially continues until the user does not touch the digital control again within the waiting time. And the controller integrates the recorded infrared key values into a target infrared key value and responds to the target infrared key value. For example, in an application scenario of channel change, a user touches an integrated key of a remote controller, at this time, the controller controls the display to display a key interface, at this time, the interface displayed by the display may refer to fig. 10, the user first touches "control 1", then sequentially touches "control 2" and "control 5", and after the user completes the touch action of "control 5", the user does not continue to touch other digital controls 3 s. The controller responds to the infrared key value corresponding to '125', namely, the controller controls the display to be switched to 152.

With continued reference to fig. 10, as a possible implementation, the sub-button interface 104 of the numeric pull-down control 102 may further include a confirmation control 106, and the controller is further configured to: and responding to the touch of the user on the confirmation control, and generating a target infrared key value, wherein the target infrared key value is related to the digital control touched by the user within preset time, and the preset time takes the digital control touched by the user for the first time as a starting point and the confirmation control touched by the user as an end point. For example, in an application scenario of password input, a user touches an integrated key of a remote controller, and at this time, the controller controls the display to display a key interface, and at this time, the interface displayed by the display may refer to fig. 10, and the user first touches control 1, and then sequentially touches control 2, control 5, control 9, and a confirmation control 106. When the user touches the confirmation control 106, the controller immediately generates an infrared key value corresponding to "1259".

With continued reference to fig. 10, as a feasible implementation manner, the key interface further includes a movement control 107; the controller is further configured to: and responding to the touch of the user to the mobile control, and controlling the key interface to move so as to achieve the purpose of avoiding the key interface from shielding other interfaces, wherein the other interfaces can be but are not limited to a playing interface.

The following describes the moving process of the key interface with reference to specific drawings, and fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of changes of the display device before and after the key interface moves according to a possible embodiment. When the user touches the 123/color key, the display of the display device displays the key interface 123, and in this embodiment, the default display position of the key interface is the bottom of the display, which can be referred to as the effect 121 in fig. 12. In response to the user touching the moving control 123, the controller controls the key interface 123 to move to the top of the display, which can be referred to as an effect 122 in fig. 12.

It should be noted that the effect 121 in fig. 12 is only an example for describing an example that the key interface is default at the bottom of the display, and in the process of practical application, the default position of the key interface may be set according to requirements, for example, the default position of the case interface may be set at the lower right corner of the display in some feasible embodiments. The effect 121 in fig. 12 is merely an exemplary introduction of a movement control. In the process of practical application, the mobile control can be configured into a plurality of sub-controls, each sub-control corresponds to one direction, and in response to the touch of the sub-controls by a user, the controller controls the key interface to move towards the direction corresponding to the sub-controls.

As a feasible implementation, the controller is further configured to: and if the display displays a key interface, responding to a focus moving instruction, and controlling the focus to move on the key interface.

In this embodiment, if the display displays the key interface, the key interface obtains a focus, and in response to a focus movement instruction, the focus moves between the controls of the key interface, and when the focus moves to a boundary, if the user continues to output the focus movement instruction, the focus does not have a boundary crossing problem (i.e., the focus moves from the key interface to another interface).

In response to the touch of the first control by the user, the controller is configured to execute S83 to generate a target infrared key value, where the target infrared key value is a key value of an omitted key corresponding to the touched first control;

the generation of the target infrared key value may be implemented in such a way that, in response to the touch of the user on the first control, the driver layer of the controller searches a Map table to retrieve the key value of the omitted key corresponding to the first control, where the Map table at least includes the key values of the omitted key corresponding to the first control and the first control.

The controller is configured to execute S84 to control the display to display/respond based on the indication of the target infrared key value.

For example, in an application scenario of channel change, if the target infrared key value is "125" infrared key value, the controller controls the display to switch to 125 channels.

If the infrared key value is a second infrared key value, the controller is configured to execute S85 to control the display to display/respond based on the indication of the second infrared key value.

For example, in an application scenario of shutdown, if the second infrared key value is a "shutdown" infrared key value, the controller controls the display to be turned off.

In this embodiment, the second infrared key value is different from the first infrared key value. And the first infrared key value is an infrared key value output by the remote controller when the user touches the integrated key. The second infrared key value is an infrared key value output by the remote controller when the user touches keys except the integrated key.

The display device shown in this embodiment includes: a controller, a display and a remote controller. The remote controller integrates a plurality of keys into one integrated key, so that the whole volume of the remote controller is reduced, and the layout key position of the remote controller is clear and definite. When the user touches the integrated key, the integrated key (also called as an omitted key) may be displayed on the display in the form of a control, and the control displayed on the display and the omitted key have the same function.

A second aspect of the embodiments of the present application shows a remote controller, where a plurality of keys are provided, where one of the keys is an integrated key, the integrated key is used to replace at least two omitted keys to reduce the number of keys set on the remote controller, and the omitted keys are keys not set on the remote controller, and are configured as:
