With the improvement of the development level of smart homes, television manufacturers have continuously provided their smart boxes. In order to maintain the influence of self-ecological software and meet the requirements of users, the application of the television is usually transplanted into an intelligent box. The television and smart box with the same application installed can be sold as separate products. Of course, when the user purchases both products at the same time, it is highly likely that both will work in the same environment.

Therefore, the following scenarios can be considered in practical applications: when the smart box is connected with a display device (e.g., a television) of the same brand (the televisions of different brands and the smart box are installed with the same application) for use, the connection mode here may be a wireless connection or a wired connection, and this embodiment does not limit this. For example, as shown in fig. 6, when the brand a smart box 300 is connected to the brand a display device 200 (e.g., a television) via the HDMI cable, since the brand a smart box 300 is internally integrated with the brand B application developed by the brand a itself, the brand B application is also integrated at the television end, for example, the brand B application may be an X voice assistant application, and when the user remotely issues a wake-up command, "small X, small X" to wake up the X voice assistant application, there is a high possibility that the smart box 300 and the X voice assistant application in the television are simultaneously woken up, so that crosstalk occurs and the user experience is affected. No solution to this problem has been proposed in the art. Especially, if the compatibility problem cannot be solved for two products of the same manufacturer, the influence on the use experience of the user is very large.

In order to solve the technical problem, the inventor finds out through research that the intelligent box and the television can share respective working states, and the intelligent box or the television can deduce the real intention of the user according to the working states of the intelligent box and the television, and open or shield own application. Based on this, on the basis of the above embodiments, the embodiments of the present application provide a display device, which enables a user to start a related application through an expected device, and avoids the problem of crosstalk when two devices receive a wake-up command at the same time and are awakened at the same time, thereby improving user experience.

The technical solution of the present application will be described in detail below with specific examples. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

The embodiment of the application provides a display device, and the display device is connected with an intelligent box. The display device is provided with a first application to be started, the intelligent box is provided with a second application to be started, and the awakening instruction of the first application to be started is the same as the awakening instruction of the second application to be started. The display device may include: a first controller. The display device receives a wake-up instruction of a first application to be started, which is input by a user, through the first controller, and responds to the wake-up instruction, the first controller starts or shields the first application to be started according to a first working state where the intelligent box is currently located and a second working state where the display device is currently located. The display device further comprises a display connected with the first controller, and the display is used for displaying a picture through the first application to be started after the first application to be started is started.

According to the display device provided by the embodiment of the application, the first application to be started is started or shielded according to the first working state of the intelligent box and the second working state of the display device in response to the awakening instruction of the first application to be started input by a user; the first application to be started is installed on the display device, the awakening instruction of the first application to be started is the same as the awakening instruction of the second application to be started installed on the intelligent box, and therefore the problem that crosstalk occurs when two devices are awakened at the same time when the awakening instructions are received at the same time under the condition that the same application is installed on the intelligent box is avoided, and therefore user experience is improved.

In some embodiments, the first application to be started and the second application to be started may be the same application or different applications, and the present embodiment is not limited thereto, as long as the wake-up instruction is the same, and the present invention is applicable to the present scheme.

In some embodiments, the first controller of the display device may open or shield the first application to be opened according to the first operating state and the second operating state. Taking the display device as a television, and both the first application to be started and the second application to be started are X voice assistant applications as an example, the processing conditions of each scene are introduced.

It should be noted that the working states of the intelligent box are various, and may be in an OTT mode, and in this mode, the intelligent box may obtain the playing content from the network and send the playing content to the display device for playing; the intelligent box can play music for a user in the loudspeaker box mode, can provide a game interface for the user in the game mode, and can shoot pictures in the action range of the camera in the video recording mode.

In one scenario, as shown in fig. 7, the first operating state is a non-OTT mode, for example, a speaker mode, and the second operating state is a standby state, so that the first application to be started is shielded. In the present use case, the television is only connected to the power source, and is in a standby state, which indicates that the user does not use the television, the smart box 300 is in a speaker mode, and the user may be listening to music or radio programs through the smart box 300, at this time, the smart box 300 is in an active state, and the user issues a keyword (e.g., "small X, small X") of a wake-up instruction, and when waking up the X voice assistant application, there is a greater probability that the X voice assistant application in the smart box 300 being used is woken up, so the television can shield the X voice assistant application of itself, and the smart box 300 can open the X voice assistant application of itself to continue to serve the user.

In another scenario, as shown in fig. 8, if the first operating state is an OTT mode, and the second operating state is a power-on state and is displaying a picture transmitted by the smart box 300, the first application to be started is shielded. In the current use case, the smart box 300 is working in the OTT mode, and transmits the picture to the tv through the HDMI interface, and at this time, the tv is in the on state and is playing the picture transmitted by the smart box 300 as the set-top box. At this time, the smart box 300 is in an active state, the television is in a passive receiving state, and the user issues a keyword (e.g., "small X, small X") of the wake-up instruction, and when the X voice assistant application is woken up, there is a greater probability that the X voice assistant application in the smart box 300 is woken up to select the contents transmitted by the smart box 300. Thus, the smart box 300 may open its own voice assistant X application and the television may mask its own voice assistant X application.

In another scenario, as shown in fig. 9, if the first operating state is an OTT mode, and the second operating state is a power-on state and does not display a picture transmitted by the smart box 300, the first application to be started is started. In the current use case, the smart box 300 is working in the OTT mode, and transmits the picture to the tv through the HDMI interface, but at this time, the tv is in the on state but does not play the picture transmitted by the smart box 300 as the set-top box. At this time, the television is in an active state, and when the user issues a keyword (for example, "small X, small X") of the wake-up instruction, and wakes up the X voice assistant application, there is a greater probability that the X voice assistant application in the television is woken up to select the television playing content. Thus, the smart box 300 may shield its own voice assistant application, and the television may open its own voice assistant application to continue servicing the user.

In another scenario, as shown in fig. 10, the first operating state is a non-OTT mode, for example, a speaker mode, and the second operating state is a power-on state, the first application to be started is started. In the present use case, the smart box 300 is operating in the speaker mode, and the phone is turned on. Both devices are active, and at this time, when the user issues a keyword (e.g., "small X, small X") of a wake-up instruction, and wakes up the X voice assistant application, both the smart box 300 and the television may be devices that the user desires to use, but considering that the television has more comprehensive functions, for example, it can play audio and video, and therefore, the user can wake up the X voice assistant application in the television.

In another scenario, the first operating state is a non-OTT mode, for example, a speaker mode, and the second operating state is a power-on state, so as to shield the first application to be started. In the present use case, the smart box 300 is operating in the speaker mode, and the phone is turned on. Both devices are active, and at this time, the user issues a keyword (e.g., "small X, small X") of a wake-up instruction, and when waking up the X voice assistant application, both the smart box 300 and the television may be the devices that the user desires to use, but considering that the smart box 300 is in the speaker mode to provide audio service for the user, the user may wake up the X voice assistant application in the smart box 300 to continue providing service for the user.

According to the processing mode of the scene, under the condition that the user does not sense, the intention of the user is deduced, the expected application on the equipment is started for the user, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In some embodiments, in order to better provide services for the user and avoid logic misjudgment, the display device may send an indication request to the user after opening or shielding the first application to be opened according to the first operating state and the second operating state to confirm the true intention of the user. The indication request is used for requesting a user to input indication information for starting the first application to be started or starting the second application to be started. After receiving an indication request input by a user, the application of the corresponding device can be opened according to the indication request of the user, and the application of another device is shielded.

In some embodiments, before the first controller responds to a wake-up instruction of a first application to be opened input by a user, and opens or masks the first application to be opened according to the current first working state of the intelligent box and the current second working state of the display device, the first controller may further share the respective working states with the intelligent box. In some embodiments, the way in which the display device and the smart box share the respective operating states may include the steps of: establishing a communication connection with the intelligent box; receiving the first working state sent by the intelligent box; and sending the second working state to the intelligent box.

In some embodiments, there are multiple ways to establish the communication connection with the smart box, and in an implementation manner, the communication connection between the display device and the smart box may be established based on a wireless communication module, which may be a bluetooth module, a WIFI module, or the like. In another implementation, the communication connection between the display device and the smart box may be established based on the CEC line. CEC is a protocol that provides high-level control functions for all home audiovisual equipment connected via HDMI lines in a smart home. As shown in fig. 11, the display device and the smart box each include a CEC module therein, and the display device and the smart box may be connected through an HDMI line and a CEC line. Thus, data transmission between the display device and the smart box can be achieved through the CEC line. In a specific implementation process, a consumer electronics control CEC line is used for receiving a handshake signal sent by the intelligent box and sending a response signal to the intelligent box; receiving first identification information of the intelligent box according to the response signal; verifying the first identification information; if the verification is successful, establishing communication connection based on the private protocol with the intelligent box, sending second identification information of the intelligent box to the intelligent box, so that the intelligent box verifies the second identification information, and establishing communication connection based on the private protocol with the intelligent box after the verification is successful. In some embodiments, the identification information is an operator code, the private agreement being established according to the operator code; the verifying the first identification information may include: judging whether the operator code exists in a pre-stored supportable code list or not; if so, the verification is successful.

The establishment of the private protocol is described below with reference to fig. 12.

The CEC protocol reserves a command 'vendor command with ID' corresponding to data content '0 xA 0', the command can allow both communication parties to define a private protocol by self and serve as load transmission of the command, and specific content of the private protocol is defined by both communication parties by self.
