FIG. 4 is a software configuration diagram of the intelligent control device 200 in some embodiments of the present application. Referring to Fig. 4, in some embodiments, the system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom are applications (Applications) layer (referred to as "application layer"), application framework (Application Framework) layer (referred to as "framework layer") "), Android runtime (Android runtime) and system library layer (referred to as "system runtime layer"), and the kernel layer.

As shown in Figure 4, the application framework layer in some embodiments of the present application includes managers (Managers), provider (Content Provider), network management system, etc., wherein the manager includes at least one of the following modules: activity manager ( Activity Manager) is used to interact with all activities running in the system; Location Manager is used to provide system services or applications with access to system location services; Package Manager is used to retrieve the current Various information related to the application package installed on the device; Notification Manager (Notification Manager) is used to control the display and clearing of notification messages; Window Manager (Window Manager) is used to manage icons, windows, tools on the user interface Bars, wallpapers and widgets.

In some embodiments, in order to improve the user experience of the display device, applications implementing different functions may be configured in the display device. Among them, some applications can implement a function based on the application itself, while some applications provide multiple services, and different services implement different functions, that is, this application can implement multiple functions. For example, a desktop application is configured in the display device, and the desktop application provides multiple service modules to implement different functions based on the service modules provided by the desktop application. In order to facilitate the user to start a certain function, different components can be generated based on different functions and displayed on the home page of the desktop.

In some embodiments, since there are many business modules in the preset operating system applications configured in the display device, in order to facilitate the user to quickly start the specified business module, a shortcut to the user's frequently used business can be generated in the form of a Widget. Widget It is used to provide a shortcut entry for the corresponding business module. Each Widget is displayed in the Widget panel, that is, the user can register commonly used functions in the data center (WidgetService) to add to the Widget panel, and provide a quick start entry for the functions under the preset operating system application through the Widget.

In some embodiments, if the Android system is installed on the display device, then when the Widget panel is displayed on the desktop home page, the current display device is usually implemented by the native desktop component framework of Android, that is, the system component service WidgetService works at the system frameworks level. Each component provider application provides a provider, and exposes its own component data to the desktop application through the provider. System component service WidgetService will automatically collect provider information of all component providers after the system is started. The desktop application uses WidgetHost to communicate with the system component service WidgetService to obtain the provider information of each component application, and obtain component data through the provider, add buttons or update the displayed components. Wherein, the component provider application includes service modules provided by third-party applications and desktop applications.

The component data includes information such as the identification (ID) of the interface component and the operation (Action) of the interface component. ID can be customized on the provider side; but Action can only use less than 20 fixed types, such as setting text size, text color, background image, click monitoring, etc. That is to say, the operation updates for all Widget panels are limited to less than 20 Actions, which is difficult to expand and realize complex interface effects.

The interface layout file of the component comes from the component provider application. In the desktop application, in order to obtain the resource files in the component provider application, it is necessary to create the context of the application, which consumes a lot of resources. In addition, there cannot be custom components in the layout file of the component, otherwise it will not be recognized in the desktop application. Therefore, custom interface components cannot be used in component layout files, and it is difficult to achieve complex interface effects.

It can be seen that the desktop components implemented by the display device based on the Android system are limited by the Android system and can only use several native components provided by the system, making it difficult to expand or customize the desktop components, and the display effect is relatively simple.

Therefore, in order to make the display device independent of the Android system when presenting the Widget panel, this application provides a brand-new desktop component framework. Based on the desktop component framework, any component (Widget) can be used. Can be derived from other applications. The source of component data can also be flexibly customized, which can come from within the application or from other applications. The size, layout, style (square, circle, etc.) of each Widget presented in the Widget panel can be customized and edited through the desktop component framework, and multi-level Widget menu display and Widget classification can be performed, and a certain widget can be added vertically. Components under the category, modify various properties of the components, etc., to provide users with a Widget panel with various effects.

In some embodiments, when the display device is started, the desktop home page can be displayed on the display device to display the applications configured by the system or the installed business modules, and the desktop component framework can be run in the application layer in FIG. 4 . A desktop application (example: J application) is configured in the display device. The desktop application is an application of the application layer. The desktop application is composed of a desktop component framework and is used to present the desktop home page when the display device is started.

Fig. 5 is a structural diagram of a desktop component framework in some embodiments of the present application. Referring to Fig. 5, the desktop component architecture includes a business component management module (WidgetManager), a component display module (WidgetContainer) and HostView, a data center module (WidgetService) and a component management module (WidgetServer).

The business component management module (WidgetManager) is divided according to the business modules, with business identification (ID), one business component management module corresponds to one business module, and manages and maintains components related to each business module. Initiate a request to the remote business module, receive data from the data center module (WidgetService), and distribute it to different components according to the business ID. The business component management module (WidgetManager) is used to manage component information, and the component information is used to record basic information such as component ID, length, width, click, expansion, refresh interval, etc.; component data and Widget panel information, without any restrictions, can be Flexible expansion.

Component display module (WidgetContainer) and HostView: responsible for adding, deleting, moving, and displaying information of components. Remote business module: relative to the remote side of the desktop component module itself, it can be other business modules inside the desktop application or other applications. Component data is provided by the remote business module and delivered to the business component management module through the data center module WidgetService. In Fig. 5, service module A and application B are both remote service modules.

Business module A is a business module provided by desktop applications, and application B is an external application, not a business application provided by desktop applications. Application B refers to a remote application that is installed in the software system of the display device and can be displayed on the home page of the desktop, such as a third-party application or a system preset application. When displaying, the application management module in the software system obtains the installation information of the application from the system, and displays it on the desktop home page based on the installation information. If the application also provides Widget display, the application management module registers the information of the application to the WidgetService, and the WidgetService realizes that the Widget component corresponding to the application is displayed in the Widget panel.

The data center module (WidgetService) is equivalent to the system component service, which is used to connect the business component management module and the remote business module. The data sent by the remote business module is sent to the WidgetService. After the WidgetService completes the preliminary processing, it is distributed to different business component management module. The component management module (WidgetServer) is used to cache component information and component data.

In some embodiments, in order to ensure that information such as the size, layout, and style of each Widget displayed in the Widget panel is not restricted by the system, the desktop component framework splits each component information used to present the Widget. The component information includes component data and Widget panel information, component data refers to the data required to be displayed on the Widget panel by the business module represented by the business ID, such as Widget ID, click operation, expansion, refresh interval, display content and other information; Widget panel information refers to the information displayed by the component Interface layout information, such as Widget's length, width and other size information.

Split component data and Widget panel information: component data uses string formats such as json and xml with good compatibility, and data transmission is flexible and limited; Widget panel information can be stored on the desktop application side or in other applications end. If the widget panel information is stored in other applications, the desktop application can use a cross-process loading technology, such as a plug-in loading method. When using the cross-process loading technology, the final Widget panel information is still loaded and run in the desktop application. The interface layout of the component is always loaded in the desktop application, and the resources and controls in the desktop application can be used arbitrarily without system restrictions. On this basis, more business forms can be derived, such as custom menus of components, multi-service combination components, etc.

When the desktop component framework implements the Widget panel, it does not care about the size, layout, style and other information of the Widget. The size, layout, style and other information of the Widget can be customized. Since the size of each Widget can be different, the combined installation of each Widget in the Widget panel is not limited by the desktop component framework, but can be customized, as long as it conforms to the display of the Widget panel.

In some embodiments, the desktop component framework manages Widgets (components) according to business modules, and one business module generates one Widget. There is a one-to-one correspondence between component data and Widget panel information display: components of different business modules, and between different components, are not affected by each other, ensuring the independence and cohesion of business and components. According to the development of business modules, more business modules can be expanded horizontally, and more components can also be expanded under the existing business modules.

In some embodiments, the implementation of the data channel of the desktop component framework is relatively flexible: when a request is initiated to a remote service, the remote service inside the desktop application can be called directly through the interface, and the remote service in other applications can send an IPC request (socket, ipc, file, etc.). The return data of the remote service can also be realized in multiple ways.

In some embodiments, the desktop component framework can easily implement dynamic components: the remote business can actively notify the desktop application to add and delete some components according to business needs. For example: on the contact application side, if a contact is added/deleted, it can actively notify the desktop application to add/delete a contact component. Another example: the application management component can actively notify the desktop application to add/delete an application component when the application is installed/uninstalled.

In some embodiments, the desktop component framework can flexibly control the timing of component loading: for example, when the system is just started and the desktop application is just started, the system resources are relatively tight, which can be handled simply and the registration of the component is suspended, thereby reducing system resource contention and avoiding Causing the operation of the main function to freeze.

In some embodiments, the desktop application is an application installed in the application layer, and application B is also an application installed in the application layer.

In some embodiments, when the desktop application is started, the homepage of the desktop is displayed on the display device. The desktop home page displays several business modules provided by the pre-installed operating system, such as signal source, network status, children, education, fitness and other business modules. Users can register any commonly used business module into the data center module (WidgetService) and add it to the Widget panel in the form of Widget to achieve quick start. The business module belongs to the business within the desktop application. During the display process of any business module, the user can call up the Widget panel and display it on the home page of the desktop through preset operations.

In some embodiments, the information of service modules such as signal source and networking status is obtained from other applications other than the desktop application.

In some embodiments, during the presentation of applications other than the desktop application, the calling instruction of the Widget panel is not responded to. Applications other than desktop applications include remote applications installed by users, such as third-party applications such as Kiwi, Cool Meow, etc. When displaying remote applications on the user interface of the display device, the user triggers a preset operation, and the Widget panel cannot be called out for display in the desktop home page.

In some embodiments, the home page of the desktop may be provided by a native system application or a pre-installed operating system application. In some embodiments, the desktop application may be a pre-installed operating system application.

When the display device is running, the Widget panel is usually hidden and displayed. When the user needs to quickly start a certain function (such as a function realized by a business module) through the Widget panel, the Widget panel can be called out based on the trigger operation and displayed on the home page of the desktop. Trigger Operation means that the user long presses the left button of the remote control or other preset function buttons. If the user wants to start a certain function, the corresponding Widget control is triggered in the Widget panel to directly start the function, that is, start a certain business module provided by the desktop application.

However, if the business module is offline, the corresponding business Widget control will be invalid at this time, but it will not be marked in the Widget panel, so when the corresponding business Widget control is triggered, the specified business module cannot be quickly started. It can be seen that when a user implements a quick startup of a certain business module based on the Widget panel, the failure of the Widget control cannot be known in time, resulting in a failure to start a certain business module, which affects user experience.

Wherein, failure refers to unavailability. The failure of a business module refers to whether the application is available. For example, if the application exists in the display device, but is offline due to policy reasons or is no longer maintained in the background, the service module is unavailable. In contrast, valid refers to the usable state.

Scenario where the validity of the business Widget control changes: When the business status of the business module changes, the validity of the business Widget control may change. For example, if a business module with a Widget control is offline due to policy reasons, the corresponding business Widget control must be invalid. Or if an application B displayed on the desktop homepage is uninstalled, its corresponding Widget control must also be invalid. Therefore, the Widget panel that undertakes the business Widget control display needs to monitor the offline broadcast of the business module or the uninstall broadcast of the application, or in the When starting the desktop application, detect the change of the business Widget controls supported by the current business module, and set the offline business Widget controls to invalid, so as to update the valid state of the controls in time, and then perform operations such as deletion according to the user's wishes. Improve user experience.

Based on this, in order to facilitate the user to know the validity of each business Widget control in a timely manner, the embodiment of the present invention provides a display device for realizing the detection of the validity of the control, and triggering the query at a specific time point based on the own characteristics of the business module Mechanism, that is, to detect the validity of the corresponding business Widget controls from the two dimensions of application and business, to detect the invalid business modules in real time, and to add invalidation signs to the corresponding business Widget controls in the Widget panel, so that users can know in time The invalid business module avoids the situation that the business Widget control is triggered and the corresponding business module cannot be started, and the user experience is better.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart of a control processing method in some embodiments of the present application; FIG. 7 is a data flow chart of a control processing method in some embodiments of the present application. A display device provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes: a display configured to display a desktop home page presenting a Widget panel, the Widget panel displaying several business Widget controls for providing a startup entry for a business module; connected to the display The controller, when executing the control processing method shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7, the controller is configured to perform the following steps:

S1A. Receive preset operations generated based on the desktop homepage, and detect whether the business status of each designated business module has changed. The designated business module refers to a business module that displays a business Widget control in the Widget panel, and the business status is used to represent the designated business. Whether the module is available.

The scenario where the display device activates the control validity query mechanism needs to be started when the desktop home page is presented on the display device. Specifically, the controller is performing receiving preset operations generated based on the desktop home page to detect whether the business status of each specified business module has changed. , is further configured to perform the following steps:

Step 111, receiving the startup operation of the desktop application, and detecting whether the business status of each specified business module has changed when the desktop home page is presented in the user interface; or,

Step 112, when receiving a trigger operation on the designated business modules displayed on the desktop homepage, detect whether the business status of each designated business module has changed; or,

Step 113 : When receiving the startup operation for starting the Widget panel generated based on the desktop homepage, detect whether the business status of each specified business module changes.

The time when the display device detects the validity of each service Widget control configured by the user is when the corresponding service module is started, when the Widget panel is called out, or when the desktop application is started. That is, when the corresponding business module is started, the control validity query mechanism is triggered synchronously, or when the Widget panel is started, the control validity query mechanism is triggered synchronously, or when the desktop application is started, the control validity query mechanism is triggered synchronously, so that Real-time validity detection is performed on the business Widget control corresponding to the business module. The specified service module to be started may be the service module displayed on the home page of the desktop, that is, the source application of the shortcut.

In some embodiments, when the user starts the display device, the display device presents a system home page, and the system home page displays a desktop application (J application) control icon. The desktop application control icon is triggered to present the desktop home page on the display device, and at the same time, the control validity query mechanism is synchronously triggered.

Each business module provided by the J application is displayed on the home page of the desktop. Each business module can be added to the Widget panel in the form of a business Widget control based on user-defined settings to provide a quick entry to the business module. In order to query the validity of each business Widget control in real time, when the user starts a certain business module, the control validity query mechanism is triggered synchronously. The way to start the business module may be to trigger the control icon of the business module displayed on the desktop home page.

In some embodiments, when the desktop application is started, it is actively inquired whether the service state of each specified service module has changed. Since the user seldom utilizes the working capacity of the entire display device hardware at startup, a full query can be performed on each specified business module at this time. It may be that the display device acquires the change of the specified service in a timely manner and updates it, so as to avoid the invariance caused by the user selecting the Widget control corresponding to the service and then inquiring.

In some embodiments, when the Widget panel is started, it is actively inquired whether the service state of each designated service module changes. Since the user has not started to select the Widget control at this time, it is possible to perform a full query on each specified business module at this time, and update the status in a timely manner to avoid the occurrence of the user selecting the Widget control corresponding to the business and then querying. unchanged.

After the application is started, it can receive service change notifications from the server or other devices to update the service status.

Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a system homepage in some embodiments of the present application; Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of a desktop homepage in some embodiments of the present application.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8 , when the display device starts and displays the system homepage, in addition to displaying desktop application (J application) control icons, various third-party application control icons installed by the user are also displayed on the system homepage. If the user triggers the desktop application (J application) control icon, the desktop home page shown in FIG. 9 is switched and displayed on the display device.

In some embodiments, the interface shown in FIG. 8 does not need to display the J application, but displays the default self-starting desktop application of the device without additional triggering.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9 , the navigation bar of the user interface includes "My", "Cable Bao", "Circle of Relatives and Friends", "Recommendation", "VIP", "Children", and "Video" and other title controls, the user can display the corresponding title interface by moving the focus to a different title control. For example, in Figure 9, when the focus falls on the "Recommendation" control, the displayed title interface is the "Recommendation" interface, and the navigation bar in the "Recommendation" interface includes "Selected", "Variety", "Anime", "Sports", "E-sports", "Cartoon", "Knowledge", "All", "Chinese Opera" and other category controls, the user can display the corresponding recommended content by moving the focus to different category controls. For example, in Figure A9, when the focus falls on the "Selected" control, the content display area of the "Recommended" interface displays the selected items recommended by the user, including icons, thumbnails, movies, and TV series. Visuals and more. When the focus moves to "Children", the title interface of "Children" will be displayed in the content display area, and the title interface of "Children" mainly displays media resources for children. In some embodiments, the user can select the media resource to be played or open the application program to be used on the home page of the TV system, and can also indicate to enter the next-level interface by operating the controls on the home page of the TV system. Select the media resource you want to play in the level interface.

For example, if the specified business module that the user wants to start is the "Children" business module, the icon of the "Children" business module presented on the desktop homepage shown in FIG.

In some embodiments, the Widget panel refers to a panel control used to centrally display Widget controls.

Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of displaying a Widget panel on a desktop homepage in some embodiments of the present application. When the desktop home page is displayed on the display device, the user generates a trigger operation for starting the Widget panel, and the control validity query mechanism is synchronously triggered when the Widget panel is started. The trigger operation refers to the user long pressing the left button of the remote control or other preset functions key.

As shown in FIG. 10 , the Widget panel in the first state is displayed in the left content area of the user interface, and multiple Widget controls are displayed in the Widget panel, which are respectively "Signal Source", "Application Center", "Router", "Settings", "Player", "Standard", "Multi-Screen Interaction", "City Service", "Discovery", "Contacts", "Device", "AI Camera"; the right content area of the user interface continues to display the contents of the standard mode home page.

It is worth noting that, in this example, limited by the size of the right content area, each item in the standard mode home page is displayed in alignment with the left border of the right content area with the original layout parameters, and the standard mode home page exceeds the user interface The displayed content of the right border is hidden. Wherein, the original layout parameters refer to the layout parameters of each item in FIG. 9 . That is to say, when the user presses the left button for a long time, the Widget panel is displayed in the left content area of the user interface, and all items in the standard mode home page are translated to the right content area as a whole, and the displayed content beyond the right boundary of the user interface hide.

In some embodiments, when the above-mentioned Widget panel is displayed, the user can operate the return key on the remote controller, or press and hold the right button to input a return command, control the Widget panel to be retracted, and return to the standard mode home page . After the Widget application receives the input return command, it exits the foreground and the Widget panel is closed. The J application responds to the exit of the Widget application from the foreground, switches to the foreground to run, and displays the standard mode interface in full screen.

In some embodiments, if the display device directly enters the radio and television signal source when starting, such as directly playing a TV program, at this time, the desktop application is not started, and the system home page is not displayed on the display device, then the desktop home page cannot be entered, that is, the startup cannot be generated. The default operation of the business module or Widget panel, therefore, does not trigger the control validity query mechanism.

In some embodiments, when the desktop home page is presented on the display device, if the user wants to start a different application, such as a third-party cloud audio-visual application installed in the TV, the desktop application (J application) needs to be set to the background/cancel the thread and then Start the interface of the cloud audio-visual application. In the display state of the cloud audio-visual application, the Widget panel cannot be called up, and it can only be opened after returning to the home page of the desktop.

In some embodiments, the desktop home page can also display control icons of some remote applications (application B in FIG. 5 ). At this time, the information of the remote application can be registered to the WidgetService, and then the registration information can be obtained from the WidgetService through the business control management module (WidgetManager) to display on the desktop homepage, and the user can start the corresponding remote application on the desktop homepage. At this point, the remote application can be used as a business module provided by the desktop application, or the remote application on the desktop home page can be added to the Widget panel in the form of a business Widget control to provide a quick start entry for the remote application.

When starting a certain business module or starting a Widget panel, synchronously generate a start command to trigger a control validity query mechanism to detect whether the business status of the business module corresponding to each business Widget control displayed in the Widget panel changes. Among them, the parameters required for detecting whether the service state of the service module changes can be obtained from the data center (WidgetService).

In some embodiments, when starting a business module through other entrances outside the Widget panel, it can be judged first whether the business module provides Widget control display, if the started business module does not provide business Widget control display, then the business can be started directly The module only needs to display the homepage of the business module. If the started business module provides a business Widget control display, the application is determined as a designated business module, that is, the designated business module refers to a business module that displays a business Widget control in the Widget panel.

Among them, the method of judging whether the business module provides a Widget control display can be judged by obtaining application information. If there is a control ID in the application information, it means that the business module provides Widget control display; if there is no control ID in the application information, then Explain that this business module provides Widget control display.

In some embodiments, when the business module is a system preset business module, the desktop application can directly obtain the application information generated by each business module in WidgetService through the business control management module (WidgetManager), that is, call the data center (WidgetService) Query whether there is a control ID in each business module. When the business module is a remote application installed in the software system, the business control management module (WidgetManager) can obtain the application information generated by the remote application when it is added to the desktop homepage by the application management module of the system and registered to the WidgetService.

In the scenario of starting a desktop application (J application), in order to timely determine the validity of the business Widget control corresponding to the specified business module, you can trigger the control to be valid when starting the desktop application (J application), starting the specified business module, or starting the Widget panel A permanent query mechanism to detect whether the business status of each business module has changed.

In some embodiments, the layer where the display window of the desktop home page is located is different from the layer where the Widget panel is located.

In some embodiments, the layer where the display window of the desktop homepage is located is the same as the layer where the Widget panel is located, and when an instruction to call out the Widget panel is detected, the display position of the display window of the desktop homepage is adjusted so that the desktop homepage The display window moves to one side, and the display windows of some desktop homepages move out of the display interface of the monitor and cannot be displayed. The display windows of some desktop homepages do not move out of the display interface of the monitor and can be displayed. Draw the Widget panel in the position vacated after the display window of the desktop homepage is moved. In order to realize the display of both in the same layer.

In some embodiments, a spacer is provided on the side of the display window of the widget panel close to the home page of the desktop. The display window so that the user can distinguish the Widget panel and the home page of the desktop are two different operation areas. After the Widget panel is presented, the focus is set to the Widget panel area by default, and the display window of the home page of the desktop cannot get the focus. In this way, the focus can be avoided from switching between the two areas during the process of moving the focus through the remote control. The user enters an instruction to exit the Widget panel. The display window of the home page of the desktop can be restored to the original display position.

In some embodiments, when the current interface of the desktop homepage calls out the Widget panel, it is generally based on the current interface of the desktop homepage that triggers a Widget requirement.

In some embodiments, in response to the user's selection of a service, the interface in the display window of the desktop homepage is switched to only the interface of the selected service, and at the same time, the display of the Widget panel is canceled to restore the full-screen display of the display window of the desktop homepage.

In some embodiments, when the designated business module or Widget panel is started, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps when detecting whether the business state of each designated business module changes:

Step 121 , when starting the specified service module or the Widget panel, obtain the service package name and service type of each specified service module, and check whether the specified service module is available based on the service package name and service type.

Step 122, if it is detected that the specified service module is unavailable, then determine that the service status of the specified service module has changed.

Step 123, if it is detected that the specified service module is available, then determine that the service status of the specified service module has not changed.

Since various business modules provided by the desktop application (J application) can be displayed on the desktop homepage, and third-party applications can also be displayed by customizing and adding, then when judging whether the business status has changed, for the business modules provided by the desktop application, then It is to judge whether the business state has changed by judging the change of the business, that is, judge by the business package name and business type; for remote applications, judge whether the application status has changed by judging the change of the application, that is, by using the Use information to make judgments.

In some embodiments, no matter whether the control validity query mechanism is triggered when the Widget panel is started, or the control validity query mechanism is triggered when the specified business module is started, it is possible to judge whether the state of the corresponding application occurs through the business package name and business type. Variety.

The business package name is used to verify whether there is a business module corresponding to the current package name in the current display device in the later stage, that is, to identify the specified business module, and the business type is used to identify whether the corresponding business module is within the validity period. If the business type of the specified business module indicates that the specified business module is within the validity period, it means that the specified business module is available, and then it is determined that the business status of the specified business module has not changed; if the business type of the specified business module indicates that the specified business module is not within the validity period , it indicates that the specified service module is unavailable, and then it is determined that the service status of the specified service module has changed.

Based on the remote application, obtain the state parameters of the remote application based on the application package name. If the state parameter represents a normal state, it means that the remote application is available, and then determine that the application state of the specified application has not changed; if the state parameter represents an abnormal state, then It indicates that the remote application is unavailable, and then it is determined that the application status of the specified application has changed.

For example, the desktop application provides two service modules A and B, and the service types a and b of the two service modules A and B indicate that the service modules A and B are both within the validity period. If business module A goes offline due to policies or other reasons during later use, business module A will be unavailable and business module B will be available.

In some embodiments, when the desktop application is started, the controller detects whether the service state of each specified service module changes, and is further configured to perform the following steps:

Step 131. When starting the desktop application, obtain the total number of current business modules provided by the desktop application and the corresponding total number of historical business modules at the last startup.

Step 132: If the total number of current business modules is less than the total number of historical business modules, determine that the business status of the specified business module corresponding to the difference between the total number of current business modules and the total number of historical business modules has changed.

If the control validity query mechanism is triggered when the desktop application is started, then when judging whether the status of each business module provided by the desktop application has changed, the implementation form can be to obtain the current business module provided by the desktop application when the desktop application is started The total number is compared with the total number of historical business modules corresponding to the last startup, and the difference between the total number of business modules started twice is compared. If the total number of business modules (one: B) corresponding to this startup is less than the total number of business modules (two: A and B) corresponding to the last startup, it means that there are unavailable business modules in the business modules provided by the desktop application. At this time, the designated business module can be screened out based on the difference between the total number of current business modules and the total number of historical business modules, and at the same time, it can be determined that the business status of the designated business module has changed.

In some embodiments, since a certain business module in the desktop application provides a business Widget control and displays it in the Widget panel, it is necessary to check the validity of this type of business Widget control. However, if a specified application provided in the desktop application does not provide the service Widget control, the validity detection process does not need to be performed. Therefore, such business modules that have been provided with business Widget controls and displayed in the Widget panel are taken as specified business modules, and such business modules that are not provided with Widget controls are taken as common service modules. The business modules provided by the desktop application include designated business modules and commonly used business modules. The designated business modules can be started quickly through the business Widget control, or can be restarted by triggering the desktop homepage where the designated business modules are located; and the commonly used business modules The startup can only be restarted by triggering the home page of the desktop where the common business module is located.

If a business module that is not available in the desktop application provides a business Widget control to display in the Widget panel, you need to mark the failure of the business Widget control; if a business module that is not available in the desktop application does not provide a business Widget control display, no follow-up The failure identification display processing. Therefore, in order to simplify the detection process of the effectiveness of controls, when detecting whether the business status has changed, only the business modules that provide Widget controls and are displayed in the Widget panel are used as the basis for judgment, and the common business modules that do not provide Widget controls are no longer considered. , that is to determine whether the business status has changed only by the availability of the specified business module.

It can be seen that the basis for judging whether the business state of the specified business module has changed includes the availability of the specified business module based on the business Widget control display, and does not include the availability of the common business module that does not provide the business Widget control display.

If it is detected that the business status of a specified business module has not changed, the control validity query mechanism is terminated, and the specified business module can be started directly; if it is detected that the business status of a specified business module has changed, the control validation will continue The query mechanism further determines the target Widget control to display the invalidation mark.

S2A. If there is a change in the service state of any specified application, generate corresponding state change information, and the state change information is used to determine the target service Widget control corresponding to the specified service module with state change.

When it is detected that the business status of at least one designated business module changes, it indicates that the business Widget control corresponding to the designated business module displayed in the Widget panel is invalid. Therefore, based on the state change information, the target Widget control corresponding to the specified business module with state change can be determined, that is, it is necessary to identify such business Widget control with failure. The status change information includes information such as the control ID, the specified business module ID, and the status change ID.

In some embodiments, when the control validity query mechanism is triggered when the Widget panel is started, when the Widget panel is displayed, the invalidation indicator may be directly displayed on the determined target service Widget control.

In some embodiments, when the control validity query mechanism is triggered when the specified business module is started, or when the control validity query mechanism is triggered when the desktop application is started, after detecting that the currently started specified business module has changed the service state, The state change information is sent to the Widget panel, so that the Widget panel can update the displayed control information based on the control validity detection results when the Widget panel is subsequently displayed, so as to update the validity status of the target business Widget control of the currently specified application in time.

S3A. Receiving a trigger operation for starting the Widget panel, displaying the Widget panel based on the business Widget control of each specified business module, and displaying a failure indicator on the target service Widget control in the Widget panel, where the failure indicator is used to represent a state change The target business Widget control corresponding to the specified business module is invalid.

When the user starts the desktop application, starts any specified application based on the desktop home page, or starts the Widget panel, the validity of the control is checked, and the resulting state change information is sent to the Widget panel. When the Widget panel is triggered by the user to start, it displays the invalidation mark on the corresponding target business Widget control in a timely manner based on the state change information to inform the user that the target business Widget control where the invalidation mark is located is invalid, and the target business Widget control cannot be used to implement the corresponding business module. start up.

When the user needs to use the Widget panel to quickly start a certain business module, the user presses and holds the left button of the remote control to bring up the Widget panel and display it on the desktop home page. Referring to Fig. 10 again, a feasible display mode of the Widget panel is to pop up from the left side of the display, pushing the desktop home page to the right, and at this time, the content displayed on the right side of the desktop home page disappears from the display; if the display of the Widget panel is canceled , the homepage of the desktop moves to the left and is displayed in the state shown in Figure 9 .

The Widget panel displays all system presets or user-set business Widget controls. Therefore, in order to display the Widget panel, it is necessary to obtain the total control information of all business Widget controls stored in the device, and generate a Widget panel based on the total control information, and display it on the desktop. in the home page. The total control information is used to represent the name and icon of each business module, effective parameters displayed by the control, control identification, control name, source of the business module of the control icon (which business module provides the control), etc.

In some embodiments, if the user starts the Widget panel for the first time, the total control information obtained is the desktop control information preset by the system; if the user does not start the Widget target for the first time, the total control information obtained is saved when the display device was turned off last time control information. And, the total control information will be refreshed in real time every time based on the result of the control validity, and all the valid control information is retained.

Before the user starts the Widget panel to be displayed on the desktop homepage, every time the user generates a preset operation based on the desktop homepage, the validity of the controls will be checked for each business module displayed on the desktop homepage. If it is detected that the business state of a specified business module providing the Widget control changes, the state change information will be sent to the Widget panel. When the user subsequently calls up the Widget panel to display, the Widget panel can add an invalidation mark to the corresponding service Widget control based on the received business status change information corresponding to each specified business module, so that the user can promptly know the status of each service in the Widget panel. The validity state of a Widget control, so as to deal with the invalid Widget control accordingly, such as deleting or replacing it with another Widget control.

When searching for the target business Widget control, the target business Widget control corresponding to the specified business module can be determined based on the comparison between the control ID and the total control information. Then, display the invalidation mark on the target business Widget control in the Widget panel.

Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram of displaying failure signs on the service Widget control of the Widget panel in some embodiments of the present application. Referring to FIG. 11 , when the business module is designated as "Children" in the detected desktop homepage, the "Children" business module provides a business Widget control display. If it is detected that the "Children" business module is unavailable, add an invalidation mark on the "Children's" business Widget control, as shown in the figure "Invalidated" mark.

In some embodiments, the reason for the change of the business status of the specified business module can also be that the business module is offline. After the business module is offline, the corresponding business Widget control displayed in the Widget panel will no longer be triggered to start the business module. Therefore, the business Widget control of the business module that is to be uninstalled of this type needs to be marked as invalid.

Specifically, when there is a business module offline situation, the controller is further configured to: respond to the instruction to cancel the provision of the specified business module, when starting the Widget panel, on the Widget panel corresponding to the target business Widget control of the specified business module Display the invalidation flag.

If a business module configured in the desktop application is offline, it means that the desktop application no longer provides the business model, then the application management module of the display device will send an offline broadcast to the Widget panel, and the Widget panel will judge the uninstalled business Whether the module provides Widget control display, the judging method can refer to the content of the foregoing embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

If the uninstalled business module does not provide a business Widget control display, it will not be processed. If the unloaded business module provides a Widget control display, the business module that provides the business Widget control is used as the specified business module. At the same time, when the Widget panel is displayed on the desktop home page after the user starts it, the target service Widget control corresponding to the specified service module is determined based on the comparison between the control identifier and the total control information. Finally, display the invalidation mark on the target business Widget control in the Widget panel.

In some embodiments, if a remote application displayed on the desktop homepage is uninstalled by the user, the application management module of the display device will send an uninstall broadcast to the Widget panel, and when the subsequent user triggers the Widget panel to be displayed on the desktop homepage, The invalidation mark is displayed on the business Widget control corresponding to the application.

Fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of displaying an invalidation mark on a service Widget control for uninstalling a remote application in some embodiments of the present application. Referring to Figure 12, if the remote application uninstalled by the user is the "Kiwi" application, when the Widget panel is started, an invalidation mark will be displayed on the business Widget control of the "Kiwi" application in the Widget panel, as shown in the figure "Invalid " logo.

In some embodiments, when the desktop homepage is presented on the display device, if the user calls out the Widget panel to display it on the desktop homepage through a trigger operation, the control validity query mechanism is triggered, so that each specified display in the Widget panel The target business Widget control corresponding to the business module performs real-time validity detection.

If it is detected that the business state of a certain designated business module has not changed and can be started and run normally, then it is determined that the corresponding target business Widget control is valid, and the designated business module is started directly. If it is detected that the business state of a specified application changes, an invalidation mark is added to the target business Widget control corresponding to the specified business module. At the same time, a prompt box pops up to inform the user that the specified service module is unavailable.

Since the Widget panel has been called out for display at this time, the failure indicator can be directly added to the corresponding target business Widget control in the Widget panel, without performing the action of starting the Widget panel.

In some embodiments, when the desktop home page is presented on the display device, if a certain business module displayed on the desktop home page is triggered, the control validity query mechanism is triggered, and after it is judged that the business module provides a Widget display, the business module is determined. The module is a designated business module, and continues to perform real-time validity detection on the target business Widget control corresponding to the designated business module.

If the user detects that the business module provides Widget display and the business module is unavailable when starting a certain business module, that is, it detects that the business status changes, and then sends the status change information corresponding to the specified business module to the Widget panel, so that When the Widget panel is subsequently displayed, it can update the displayed control information based on the control validity detection results, that is, display the invalidation mark on the target business Widget control corresponding to the specified business module, so as to update each displayed in the Widget panel in time. The status of the validity of the Business Widget control.

In some embodiments, when the system home page is presented on the display device, if the user triggers the desktop application displayed on the system home page, the display device switches to display the desktop home page. And, when the desktop application is started, a control validity query mechanism is triggered to detect the service Widget controls corresponding to each service module provided by the desktop application for real-time validity detection.

If it is detected that a business module provides Widget display and the business module is unavailable, that is, a change in the business status is detected, the status change information corresponding to the specified business module will be sent to the Widget panel, so that when the Widget panel is subsequently displayed, It is possible to update the information of each control displayed based on the control validity detection result, that is, to display the invalidation mark on the target business Widget control corresponding to the specified business module, so as to update the validity status of each business Widget control displayed in the Widget panel in time .

In some embodiments, the Widget panel provides a method for updating the validity of the business Widget control, which is used for interacting with each business module provided by the desktop application, timely synchronizing the state of the target business Widget control provided by the specified business module, and monitoring the entire If the uninstalled business module provides Widget control display function, it is necessary to display the invalidation mark of the corresponding business Widget control in time.

It can be seen that when testing the validity of the widget, the display device provided by this application can display the validity of the widget according to the two dimensions of business and application, and trigger the query mechanism at a specific point in time. The invalid icon is displayed on the corresponding business widget control in the panel, so that the user can find the unavailable business widget control in time. Therefore, when the control fails, it can be fed back at the first time, which is convenient for the user to identify and replace the failed control in time.

In some embodiments, after the user triggers the Widget panel to be displayed on the home page of the desktop, when the user sees that there is a service Widget control with an invalidation logo in the Widget panel, if the user triggers the invalidation Widget control, the current interface A failure prompt interface will pop up.

In some embodiments, after the focus is moved to the Widget control, in response to the confirmation operation input by the user, when the Widget control is an invalid control, the invalidation prompt interface is triggered, and when the Widget control is not an invalid control, the secondary level corresponding to the Widget control is displayed. page or start the function corresponding to the Widget control.

Specifically, when triggering a Widget control with an invalidation flag, the controller is further configured to:

Step 41: In response to the instruction of triggering the display of the target business Widget control with an invalidation mark in the Widget panel, the startup process of the specified business module corresponding to the target business Widget control is not executed, and an invalidation prompt showing a delete button is displayed on the home page of the desktop interface.

Step 42, in response to the instruction of triggering the delete button, delete the target service Widget control in the Widget panel.

When the user invokes the Widget panel and triggers it to display a target business Widget control with an invalidation flag, the specified business module corresponding to the target business Widget control cannot be started. Therefore, when a business widget control with an invalidation flag in the widget panel is triggered, the action of starting the specified business module corresponding to the target business widget control is no longer performed.

In order to inform the user that the specified service module corresponding to the current target service Widget control cannot be started, a failure prompt interface will pop up on the home page of the desktop.

Fig. 13 is a schematic diagram of a failure prompt interface in some embodiments of the present application. Referring to Fig. 11 and Fig. 13, when the user triggers the invalid "children" business Widget control, an invalidation prompt interface is presented in the current interface. In the invalidation prompt interface, there are delete button, cancel button and replacement control display area. The delete button is used to delete the invalid Widget control, and the cancel button is used to close the invalid prompt interface. The replacement control display area is used to display other Widget controls recommended by the system that can be displayed.

In some embodiments, the icon of the second service is displayed in the replacement control display area. In some embodiments, the icon of the second service may be a Widget control of the second service, or may be another type of control representing the second service. This is because the replacement of the control display area is only used to display the services that can be selected by the user, so any solution can be adopted as long as the display effect is realized.

The difference is that if the icon of the second service is the Widget control of the second service, the floating layer is controlled by the Widget component display module in the desktop application, and icons of other formats can be displayed by modules different from the Widget component in the desktop application.

If the user clicks the delete button, the target business Widget control in the Widget panel can be deleted, that is, the "children" business Widget control can be deleted.

In some embodiments, if the system has no recommended Widget controls that can be replaced and displayed, the replacement control display area will not be displayed on the invalidation prompt interface.

In some embodiments, if an invalid Widget control in the Widget panel is deleted, the original position of the Widget control will create a vacancy. If the space is no longer filled with other business Widget controls, space will be wasted. If other business widget controls in the Widget panel are rearranged, because the sizes of each business widget control are different, rearranging will make it difficult for users to find the position of the previous controls.

Therefore, in order not to change the original form of the Widget panel after deleting an invalid Widget control, and to make full use of the display space of the Widget panel, this application can recommend other alternatives for the user when deleting an invalid Widget control Displayed business Widget controls.

Specifically, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps when replacing and displaying the business Widget control:

Step 51. When triggering the display of the target business widget with an invalidation flag, generate a recommended widget based on the attribute parameters of the target business widget. The recommended widget refers to a control that has the same characteristics as the target business widget.

Step 52, displaying the replacement widget display area in the failure prompt interface, and displaying the recommended Widget control in the replacement widget display area.

Step 53 , in response to an instruction to trigger replacement of a designated recommended Widget control in the widget display area, displaying the designated recommended Widget control at the original position of the target business Widget control in the Widget panel.

The replacement business widget recommended by the system to the user can be synchronously displayed on the invalidation prompt interface when the user triggers the invalidated widget. Therefore, when the user triggers and displays the target business widget with an invalidation mark, the recommended widget recommended by the system is obtained. , displayed in the replacement control display area of the failure prompt interface.

The recommended Widget control is generated based on the attribute parameters of the target service Widget control, and the attribute parameters are widget (Widget) information. When the user registers the service Widget control based on the service module, the icon, size, service type, application and other information generated when the service Widget control is registered will be stored in the data center (WidgetService). Therefore, the attribute parameters of the target business Widget control can be obtained from the data center (WidgetService). Attribute parameters include control size, business type, application, etc. The recommended Widget control refers to a control that has the same characteristics as the target business Widget control, and the recommended Widget control is used to replace and display the original position of the deleted target Widget control based on user triggers.

Referring to Figure 13 again, the replacement widget display area in the failure prompt interface can be displayed under the delete button, and the replacement widget display area can display up to 6 display bit thresholds, that is, the replacement widget display area can display at most 6 recommended Widget controls.

If the user clicks on a recommended business Widget control, the disabled Widget control icon triggered by the user may be deleted, and the selected recommended Widget control may be displayed at the original position of the disabled Widget control.

In some embodiments, when the invalidation prompt interface shown in Figure 13 is displayed, if the user directly clicks the specified recommended Widget control in the replacement control display area, the target business Widget control with the invalidation mark triggered by the user can be deleted at the same time. , and displaying the selected specified recommended Widget control at the original position of the target business Widget control. At the same time, the display of the invalidation prompt interface is canceled, and the original position of the invalidated Widget control is replaced and displayed in the Widget panel with the designated recommended Widget control.

In some embodiments, the recommendation of the Widget control is by displaying an icon corresponding to the recommended service. In some embodiments, the icon may be a Widget control, or other forms of control display.

FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram of a Widget panel that replaces and displays a specified recommended Widget control in some embodiments of the present application. Referring to FIG. 13 again, the recommended Widget controls displayed in the replacement control display area include time control, clock control, control center control and fitness control. Referring to Figure 14, if the user directly triggers the Fitness Widget control as the specified recommended Widget control, delete the "Children" business Widget control in the invalid Widget panel, and display the Fitness Widget control at the original position of the "Children" business Widget control .

Fig. 15 is a schematic diagram of displaying vacancies on the Widget panel in some embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, when the invalidation prompt interface shown in Figure 13 is displayed, if the user clicks the delete button, the target business Widget control (children's Widget control) with the invalidation mark can be directly deleted, see Figure 15, the invalidation prompt The display of the interface is canceled, and the original position of the deleted target business Widget control is empty.

In order to display other business Widget controls on the vacant space again, the user can click the original position of the deleted target business Widget control again (the space is empty at this time), and the control recommendation interface will pop up and be displayed on the upper layer of the desktop home page.

Fig. 16 is a schematic diagram of a widget recommendation interface in some embodiments of the present application. Referring to FIG. 16 , the widget recommendation interface presents a replacement widget display area, and the replacement widget display area displays widgets recommended by the system that have the same characteristics as the target business Widget widget. For example, some recommended Widget controls displayed in the replacement control display area of the widget recommendation interface include a time control, a clock control, a control center control, and a fitness control. If the user triggers the fitness control as the designated recommended Widget control, the fitness control will be displayed at the original position of the "Kids" business Widget control, and the display effect after replacement can be seen in Figure 14 again.

In some embodiments, since different business Widget controls have different control sizes, the business Widget control recommended by the system can be displayed at the original position of the deleted target business Widget control, and can be based on the deleted business Widget The size of the control finds a Business Widget control with the same size. In order to enable the user to start a service Widget control with similar characteristics at the same location, it is also possible to recommend alternatively displayed Widget controls for the user based on the service characteristic or the application it belongs to as an attribute parameter. That is to say, the recommended Widget control having the same characteristics as the target service Widget control refers to controls having at least one of the characteristics such as the same size of the widget, similar business attributes, and the same application.

If a user actively deletes a business widget (whether invalid or not) or removes the widget after the corresponding business widget becomes invalid due to unavailability of the business module, the system will actively recommend similar forms to the user according to the business type of the deleted widget. Widgets for business, to recommend similar functions and same size widgets to users according to the current widget size and business type, so that users can add them easily, avoiding vacancies in the Widget panel, and even filling up the vacancies after users select them, so as to improve user experience.

In some embodiments, the process of moving or deleting the widget can also be realized by the user moving the focus point. For example, as shown in FIG. 18 , in some embodiments, the focus moves to the “Settings” Widget control in FIG. Afterwards, the service can be started through the input confirmation operation or other preset first operations, and the validity query can be triggered at the same time. When the received input is the preset second operation, the "settings" Widget control is activated to move or delete the thread.

After the movement or deletion thread is started, determine the position of the "Settings" Widget control in the panel, if the target position of the "Settings" Widget control in the first moving direction is not the boundary of the panel (that is, there is a position with a preset size as a movable Position), draw a first pointing arrow in the first moving direction of the Widget control with the "Setting" method, the direction of the arrow is the same as the first moving direction, and the arrow is drawn in the floating layer above the panel. If the target position in the first moving direction of the "Settings" Widget control is the border of the panel (that is, there is no position with a preset size as a movable position), then draw a deletion prompt on the first moving direction of the "Settings" Widget control control to indicate that movement in that direction will result in the removal of the control.

Exemplarily, on the interface shown in FIG. 18 , since none of the target positions of the four movable directions of the "Settings" Widget control is the boundary of the Widget panel, pointing arrows are drawn in all four directions. To represent that these four directions can be used as the moving direction of the control.

In some embodiments, none of the target positions in the four movable directions of the "Settings" Widget control is the boundary of the Widget panel, and it is further judged that the size of the control at the target position, the length and width of the control at the target position and the "setting" When the length and width of the Widget controls are the same, the pointing arrow will be displayed, and it will not be displayed when they are different. In some embodiments, only controls with the same length and width can be replaced.

In some embodiments, the movement arrows may be displayed regardless of the size of the control at the target location.

In some embodiments, after receiving the moving operation, the "Settings" Widget control is superimposed and displayed on the top of the target position control, without moving the target position control.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 19 , on the interface shown in FIG. 18 , an input command (for example, a right arrow key command) to move the control in the first direction is received, and the Widget control is “set” and not operated. If the position of the "Rounter" Widget is set to a different layer, the "Settings" Widget is superimposed on the position of the "Rounter" Widget on the right. Based on the position of the moved "Settings" Widget control, continue to judge whether the four movable directions of the "Settings" Widget control are the boundaries of the Widget panel, because of its upward moving direction, leftward moving direction and downward moving direction The target positions on are not the boundaries of the Widget panel, so pointing arrows are drawn in these three directions. The target position in the direction of moving to the right is the boundary of the Widget panel, and there is no target position that can be moved, so the delete prompt control is drawn in the direction of moving to the right of the Widget control in the "Settings" to indicate that moving in the right direction will be " Settings" removal of the Widget control. Such a separation operation can improve system performance by invoking control threads for other Widget controls before the user's intention is determined.

In some embodiments, on the interface shown in FIG. 18 , after receiving an input command (for example, a right arrow key command) to move the control in the first direction, the "Settings" Widget control can be connected to the "Rounter" on the right side of it. The widget controls are swapped so that the user can fully see the controls that are currently on the panel.

In some embodiments, on the basis of the interface shown in FIG. 19 , in response to receiving an input instruction to move the control in the first direction (for example, a right arrow key instruction), a deletion prompt interface as shown in FIG. 20 is displayed. , to give the user further confirmation that they want to delete the control.

In some embodiments, the information prompt window on the deletion prompt interface does not cover the to-be-deleted "settings" Widget control, so that the user knows the current object to be deleted.

In some embodiments, the information prompt window on the delete prompt interface includes a delete confirmation control and a cancel control. After the information prompt window is displayed, cancel the focus on the panel, and display the focus on the preset control on the default window of the information prompt window, so as to facilitate the user's operation.

In some embodiments, the response is related to the user's operation of determining to delete the control. Remove the message "Settings" Widget control. To make the initial position display of the "Settings" Widget control empty, as shown in Figure 21. This is because, whether the "Settings" Widget control covers the "Rounter" Widget control or exchanges positions with the "Rounter" Widget control during the moving process, it is still moving. If the user is sure to move the control, you need to Make the "Settings" Widget control fixed at the position after receiving the movement command in the final display effect (during the movement process, the position of the control can be moved multiple times, for example, the downward arrow key command is received on the interface described in Figure 19 After that, the "Settings" Widget control will also move to the position of the "Multi-Screen Interaction" Widget control. But if the "Settings" Widget control is deleted, it means that the purpose of the user operation is to delete the control, so during the middle movement, if The position change (overlapping or swapping) of controls does not mean that the user wants to adjust the position of the covered or moved "Rounter" Widget control. Therefore, the initial position display of the "Settings" Widget control is empty, and the positions of other controls remain unchanged. .

In some embodiments, if the user chooses to cancel the deletion, the interface shown in FIG. 19 is returned.

In some embodiments, in the interface shown in FIG. 19, if the preset operation of the received input is to cancel the movement/deletion of the thread, then in the case where the "Settings" Widget control covers the "Rounter" Widget control, cancel The "Rounter" Widget is displayed at its original position, and the "Rounter" Widget is displayed at the original position of the "Settings" Widget. If the "Settings" Widget control and the "Rounter" Widget control exchanged positions before canceling the move/delete thread, the current positions of the two are maintained. At the same time as above, cancel the display of arrows or prompts in the floating layer. The above two means can achieve the effect shown in FIG. 22 .

In some embodiments, if the length and width dimensions of the control at the final target position during the movement process are inconsistent with the length and width dimensions of the "Setting" Widget control, the final target position of the "Setting" Widget control is now in the movement process , and according to the preset algorithm, select the position of other controls with the least adjustment to maintain the original interface displayed on the panel, and the number of moved controls is the least.

In some embodiments, after canceling the movement/deletion of the thread, the focus is still displayed on the "Settings" Widget control, so as to facilitate the user's subsequent operations.

In some embodiments, the font of the system home page in the drawings is a replacement for the image of the area before the change in order to simplify the drawing, and the image of the area can maintain the original display logic in the panel control logic.

For this reason, when the system generates a recommended Widget control, it first obtains the control size corresponding to the target service Widget control with an invalidation flag. When looking for a Widget control that can be recommended, it is necessary to look for a business Widget control with the same size as the target business Widget control. In addition, the size of the widget and the business type can also be used as search criteria to recommend other business Widget controls of a similar type to the invalid specified business module for the user.

In some embodiments, the controller executes step 51, that is, generates a recommended Widget control based on the attribute parameters of the target business Widget control, and is further configured to perform the following steps:

Step 511, acquire the business type of the specified business module and the control size of the target business Widget control.

Step 512, based on the business type of the specified business module, search for a business widget control having the same control size as the target business widget control, as the first type of control, the business type of the business module corresponding to the first type of control is the same as the business type of the specified business module .

Step 513 , if the number of controls of the first type of controls satisfies the display position threshold of the replacement control display area, use the first type of controls as recommended Widget controls.

The timing for the system to generate the recommended Widget control may be when the user triggers the target service Widget control with an invalidation flag, or when the user triggers a space displayed in the Widget panel. When generating a recommended Widget control based on the vacancy, the recommendation may be made based on the characteristics of the service Widget control originally displayed in the vacancy.

When recommending Widget controls based on invalid target service Widget controls, the recommendation strategy can be recommended according to the order of priority, that is, firstly find Widget controls with the same characteristics (that is, the same business type) based on the business type and control size; then based on the desktop application Widget controls with the same characteristics (that is, the same application) are searched for the control sizes of other business modules provided; finally, Widget controls with the same characteristics (that is, the same size of the controls) are searched based on the control sizes of all controls in the system.

In some embodiments, when the Widget control is displayed in the Widget panel, the Widget panel is provided with a plurality of regular grid grids with the same size. Since different Widget controls correspond to different control sizes, the number of grids occupied by different Widget controls is different. For example, refer to Figure 13 again, the "period weather" control occupies 3 horizontal grids, and the corresponding control size is 3 ×1; the “Signal Source” control occupies 3 vertical grids, and the corresponding control size is 1×3; the “Settings” control occupies 2 horizontal grids, and the corresponding control size is 2×1;” "Children" control occupies a grid, and the corresponding control size is 1×1.

Therefore, the size of the control can be represented by the number of grids, then the size of the space formed after the control is deleted is also represented by the number of grids, and the size requirements of the recommended Widget controls that can be replaced and displayed are also represented by the number of grids. For example, if you delete the "Time Weather" control, you need to find a Widget control that also has 3 horizontal grids, and the corresponding control size is 3×1; if you delete the "Settings" control, you need to find a Widget control that also has 2 horizontal For a Widget control composed of 1 grid, the corresponding required control size is 2×1; if you delete the “Children” control, you need to find a Widget control that also has 1 grid, and the corresponding required control size is 1×1 .

In order to enable the user to display a Widget control of the same type at the same position after deleting a Widget control, a search can be performed based on the business type. If the business widget deleted by the user is a "children" business widget, the business type of this business is educational, and it occupies a grid, then it is necessary to find a business widget that is also educational and occupies a grid, as First class controls. At this time, the business type of the business module corresponding to the first type of control is the same as the business type of the specified business module, and the control size of the first type of control is the same as that of the target business Widget control corresponding to the specified business module.

After finding the first type of controls, it is judged whether the number of controls of the first type of controls satisfies the display position threshold of the replacement control display area, that is, it is judged whether the first type of controls can occupy all the display areas of the replacement control display area. If the number of controls of the first type of control meets the display position threshold of the replacement control display area, it means that the first type of control can occupy all the display areas of the replacement control display area, and there is no need to continue to query, then the first type of control is recommended as the Widget control .

For example, the display bit threshold N is defined according to the application size. When the display bit threshold N is 6, if the control size is 1×1, then N is 6, that is, at most 6 recommended Widget controls are displayed; if the control size is 2×2, N is 3, that is, at most 3 are displayed recommended Widget controls; if the control size is 3×2, then N is 2, that is, at most 2 recommended Widget controls are displayed.

When the display bit threshold N is 6, if the number of first-type controls found is 6, each found first-type control can be directly used as a recommended Widget control, and displayed in the replacement control display area in turn. If the number of controls found in the first type of controls is 3, which is less than the display bit threshold N, it is necessary to continue to search in the next order. If the number of controls found in the first type of controls is 8, which is greater than the display bit threshold N, only the first 6 controls are recommended as Widget controls.

In some embodiments, the query order of the recommended Widget controls is searched, the business type is the first priority order, and when the first type of controls found in the first priority order does not meet the conditions, continue to search with the second priority order , wherein the second priority order is based on the search order for Widget controls corresponding to other business modules provided by the application to which the currently specified business module belongs. When the second type of controls found in the second priority order do not meet the conditions, the search is continued with the third priority order, wherein the third priority order is a search order based on all controls provided by the system.

In some embodiments, if the first type of control found by the first priority does not meet the conditions and continues to search in the order of the second priority, the controller generates a recommended Widget control based on the attribute parameters of the target business Widget control , is further configured to perform the following steps:

Step 514: If the number of controls of the first type of controls does not meet the display position threshold of the replacement control display area, based on the business module provided by the desktop application to which the specified business module belongs, search for a business widget control with the same control size as the target application Widget control , as the second type of control, the application to which the second type of control corresponds to the business module and the application to which the specified business belongs are both desktop applications.

Step 515 , if the total number of controls of the first type of widgets and the second type of controls meets the display position threshold of the replacement widget display area, use the first type of controls and the second type of controls as recommended Widget controls.

When the system follows the first priority order and uses the business type and control size as the search basis, and the number of controls found in the first control does not meet the display position threshold of the replacement control display area, it needs to continue to search based on the second priority order . At this time, obtain the application to which the specified business module belongs (which is a desktop application), and based on other business modules provided by the desktop application to which the specified business module belongs, search for a business Widget control with the same control size as the target business Widget control, as the second type controls. At this time, the application of the business module corresponding to the second type of control is the same as the application of the specified business, both of which are desktop applications, and the control size of the second type of control is the same as that of the target business Widget control corresponding to the specified business module.

For example, if the control with the invalidation logo is a Widget control of the "Children" business, the desktop application to which this business module belongs also provides business modules such as The functions displayed by the Widget control.

If the widget size of the "Friends Circle" business widget is 3×2, the widget size of the "TV Drama" business widget is 2×1, and the widget size of the "Movie" business widget is 1×1, then the widget size of the "Children" business Widget controls with the same control size (1×1) are “movies”, therefore, the “movie” service Widget controls can be used as the second type of controls.

Based on this method, zero or more second-type controls can be found. After searching based on the second priority order, calculate the total number of first-type controls and second-type controls, and replace the controls again. The display bit threshold of the display area is compared.

If the total number of widgets satisfies the display position threshold of the replacement widget display area, no subsequent query is performed, and the first type of widget and the second type of widget are used as recommended Widget controls, which are sequentially displayed in the replacement widget display area.

In some embodiments, after the system follows the first priority order and the second priority order, and uses the business type, other business modules provided by the application and the size of the control as the search basis, the searched first type of control and the second type of control If the total control quantity of the control does not meet the display bit threshold of the replacement control display area, it is necessary to continue to search based on the third priority order. At this point, get all the Widget controls stored in the system, use the business Widget control with the same control size as the target business Widget control as the third type of control, and recommend it to the user in order of priority, and display it in the replacement control display area . Wherein, the total number of controls of the first type of control, the second type of control and the third type of control meets the display bit threshold of the replacement control display area.

In some embodiments, in order to avoid repeatedly adding the same control to be displayed in the Widget panel when searching for recommended Widget controls based on each priority order, the application only selects the remaining ones that meet the query conditions that are not displayed in the Widget panel when querying. Query in the business Widget control. For example, when querying other business modules provided by the desktop application to which the "Children" business module belongs, the "Recommended" business Widget control has been displayed in the Widget panel, although the "Recommended" business Widget control meets the search conditions (the control has the same size, is the same as the specified business modules belong to the same desktop application), and the "recommended" business Widget control is not used as the second type of control, that is, the "recommended" business Widget control is not displayed repeatedly.

In some embodiments, when the desktop application is started, each business module provided by it will report its own support control information (control size, business type, application, etc.) to the Widget panel, and the type of control is equivalent to the business of the corresponding business module type. The Widget panel will be displayed according to system presets or user-defined desktop controls (the Widget panel will display the preset controls when it is first started, and the user-defined desktop controls will be cached when it is started again).

If the user is about to delete a widget, the widget management module (WidgetServer) in the system will first inquire about the application, service type and size of the widget to which the widget currently to be deleted belongs. The widget management module will first query and reduce the dimensionality of the three dimensions of the application to be deleted, the business type, and the application to which it belongs, select and sort the widgets after they are applied, and then display the recommended order of the widgets after sorting. If the system does not find a recommended control that meets the conditions, no recommendation will be made. If the user selects one of the recommended Widget controls, the new widget will be added to the original position of the deleted widget, and if there is no selection, the corresponding widget will be deleted directly.

In some embodiments, when the system recommends widgets after a certain business Widget widget is deleted, taking the widget recommendation based on a specified business module as an example, the priority order of widget recommendation is: because the widget is registered in the At this time, the control size (size), business type, application, etc. of the current business widget will be provided. Therefore, when a control fails or is to be deleted, the system first checks whether the business type of the failed business widget still has a control of the same size. , if there is and the control is not displayed in the Widget panel (increasing that it is not displayed on the desktop is to prevent repeated addition of the same control), this type of control has the highest priority. Then query the other business controls in the current desktop application that have the same size and have not been added in the Widget panel as the second priority. If the total number of controls queried is greater than N, no further query will be made; if the total number of controls in the two priorities is less than N, all controls will be queried, and the controls that meet the size will be the controls of the third priority, and follow the The order of priority is recommended to the user.

It can be seen that when recommending widgets, the display device provided by this application is based on the deleted target business Widget control, and first obtains whether there is a Widget control of the same size as the business type of the invalid target business Widget control. If there is a Widget control, then Recommend it to the user; if not, check whether there is a business Widget control of the same size in the corresponding desktop application. added to the desktop). The system recommends controls with similar functions and the same size to the user according to the size of the current control and the type of business, which is convenient for users to add, avoids vacancies in the Widget panel, and even fills the vacancies after the user selects to improve user experience.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 17 , a control display method is provided, the method includes:

S1701: When it is detected that the first service Widget is deleted, determine and display the icon of the second service, wherein the size of the second service Widget corresponding to the second service is the same as that of the first service Widget.

In some embodiments, determining and displaying the icon of the second business includes: obtaining the business type of the first business module corresponding to the first business Widget control and the control size of the first business Widget control; the target service, and determine the second service corresponding to the second service Widget control of the first service Widget control with the same control size in the target service; and display the icon corresponding to the second service. Through the identification of the service type, the service corresponding to the recommended control can be made the same or similar to the service of the deleted control, so that the service deleted by the user can be effectively replaced.

In some embodiments, if the deleted control is deleted by the user when the control is not invalid, controls corresponding to different types of services are recommended; when the deleted control is deleted by the user when the control is invalid, the same recommended The control corresponding to the type business. This is because in some embodiments, the user's initiative to delete a control that has not expired may indicate that the user does not like this type of service. Therefore, controls corresponding to different business types are recommended.

In some embodiments, determining and displaying the icon of the second service includes: obtaining the second service corresponding to the second service Widget control having the same control size as the first service Widget; and displaying the icon corresponding to the second service.

In some embodiments, determining and displaying icons of the second services includes: determining a plurality of second services and usage frequencies of the plurality of second services; Icons, wherein the icon corresponding to the second service with high frequency of use is highlighted compared to the icon corresponding to the second service with low frequency of use. In this way, among controls of the same size, controls that are frequently used by users and not displayed in the panel can be selected for recommendation. Conducive to the quick use of the user.

In some embodiments, the highlighting can be sort-first, highlighting, or large-size displaying.

In some embodiments, determining and displaying icons of the second services includes: determining a plurality of second services and usage times of the plurality of second services; Icons, wherein the icon corresponding to the second service with a small time difference between the usage time and the current time is highlighted compared to the icon corresponding to the second service with a large time difference between the usage time and the current time. In order to recommend the controls that are recently used by the user and not displayed in the panel. Conducive to the quick use of the user.

In some embodiments, determining and displaying the icons of the second services includes: determining a plurality of second services and update times of the plurality of second services; Icons, wherein the icon corresponding to the second service with a small time difference between the update time and the current time is highlighted compared to the icon corresponding to the second service with a large time difference between the update time and the current time. In order to recommend recently updated controls that are not displayed in the panel. Conducive to the quick use of the user.

In some embodiments, determining and displaying the icon of the second service includes: obtaining the target service corresponding to the second service Widget control having the same control size as the first service Widget control; filtering the Widget controls deleted by the user in the target service to determine the second service; and display an icon corresponding to the second service. In order to exclude the services deleted by the user during the recommendation process and avoid repeated recommendations.

In some embodiments, determining and displaying the icon of the second service includes: obtaining the service type corresponding to the system page, and obtaining the control size of the Widget control of the first service, wherein the system page refers to the system page before the Widget panel is displayed; type, searching for the target business with the same business type, and determining the second business corresponding to the second business Widget control with the same control size of the first business Widget control in the target business; displaying the icon corresponding to the second business. Since the user's demand for calling out the panel may be triggered based on the current system page, the user's purpose is to find services related to the current interface, so when recommending, recommend controls that are related to the current system page business and are not displayed on the panel. Conducive to the quick use of the user.

S1702: Receive an input selection of an icon of the second service;

In some embodiments, there are multiple icons of the second service, and the focus is set on the highlighted icon by default (the focus in the Widget panel is revoked at this time). By moving the focus, the user can view the icon of the second service that can be selected. If the user exits the selection of the icon for the second service, leave blank in the first position. If the user selects one of the icons, execute step S1703.

S1703: Display the second service Widget control of the second service corresponding to the selected icon at the first position, where the first position is the display position of the first service Widget control.

In some embodiments, since the size of the recommended business control is the same as that of the deleted control, there is no need to adjust the positions of other controls when adding controls.

In some embodiments, some embodiments of the present application provide a method for displaying widgets, including: when detecting that the Widget control of the first business is deleted, determining and displaying the icon of the second business, wherein the icon of the second business corresponding to the second The size of the business Widget control is not greater than the size of the first position, the first position being the display position of the first business Widget control and the blank position adjacent to the display position of the first business Widget control; receiving the input icon for the second business selection; the second service Widget control of the second service corresponding to the selected icon is displayed at the first position. In this application, when recommending, consider the deleted control and the blank space in the adjacent position (if it exists) to recommend the control. At this time, the control can be the same size as the deleted position, or the same as the entire blank position. Or it is the same as any combination of the minimum position unit of the entire blank position, realizing diversified recommendations.

Exemplarily, the first position includes a reserved blank position existing before the delete action and a target position of the deleted control. The target position is 2*4 in size, and the reserved blank space is 4*4, then the blank space left after deletion is 4*6 in size (or 6*4 in size). During the recommendation process, Icons of 6*4, 4*2, 2*4, 2**2 and other sizes can be recommended. The number of sizes that can be screened is thus expanded.

Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a control processing method in some embodiments of the present application. Referring to Fig. 6, a control processing method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the method for detecting the validity of the control includes:

S1A. Receive preset operations generated based on the desktop homepage, and detect whether the business status of each designated business module has changed. The designated business module refers to a business module that displays a business Widget control in the Widget panel, and the business status is used to represent the designated business. whether the module is available;

S2A. If there is a change in the business state of any designated business module, then generate corresponding state change information, and the state change information is used to determine the target business Widget control corresponding to the designated business module that has a state change;

A control processing method and a display device provided by an embodiment of the present invention receive preset operations generated based on the desktop home page, detect whether the business status of each specified business module changes, and if there is a change, determine the target business based on the status change information Widget controls. When the Widget panel is started, an invalidation mark is displayed on the target business Widget control in the Widget panel to indicate that the target business Widget control corresponding to the specified business module with a state change is invalid. It can be seen that this method and the display device can display the validity of the control according to the two dimensions of business and application when realizing the validity detection of the control, and trigger the query mechanism at a specific point in time. The invalidation mark is displayed on the corresponding business Widget control in the panel, which is convenient for users to find unavailable business Widget controls in time, and the user experience is good.

Fig. 23 is a schematic diagram of a user interface of a display device shown in some exemplary embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 23 , the user interface may include multiple view display areas, such as

view display areas

501A, 502A, 503A, 504A as shown in FIG. 23 . One or more items can be laid out in each view display area, where items include icons, windows, controls and other visual interface elements, where controls can include icons, buttons, menus, tabs, text boxes, dialog boxes, status bars , navigation bar, Widget control, etc.

In some embodiments, after the display device is started, it can directly enter the homepage of the TV system. The homepage of the TV system can be the homepage of a preset video-on-demand program, such as the homepage of Jukankan (J) application.

In some embodiments, the display device can work in a standard mode, an education mode, or a kid's mode based on the J application. Among them, the standard mode is the basic working mode provided by the display device for users; the education mode refers to the working mode that can provide users with primary, elementary and higher education media resources; the children's mode refers to the provision of children's media resources for users working mode. Exemplarily, the interface that can be provided by the J application includes a standard mode interface, a children's mode interface and an education mode interface, and the content accessible to the user in the corresponding mode is displayed on the interface of different modes.

In some embodiments, the different working modes supported by the display device are referred to as the first mode and the second mode respectively, the user interface displayed in the first mode is the first mode interface, and the user interface displayed in the second mode The interface is the second mode interface. According to the difference in functions between the first mode and the second mode, the first mode interface is used to display content accessible in the first mode, and the second mode interface is used to display content accessible in the second mode. It should be understood that the accessible contents in the first mode and the second mode are contents of different scopes provided by content service providers.

In some implementation situations, the standard mode is the first mode, and the education mode and/or children's mode is the second mode. The standard mode interface is the first mode interface, and the education mode or children's mode interface is the second mode interface. In these implementations, the content accessible in the first mode includes the content accessible in the second mode and other content. That is to say, the accessible content of the standard mode includes educational media resources and children's media resources, as well as other content.

It should be noted that the user can select the working mode of the display device during the booting navigation process when the display device is turned on for the first time. Among them, the startup navigation process refers to a series of initial basic setting processes for the display device, including but not limited to selecting the language of the operation interface, initializing the connection to the network, logging in to the cloud service account, and selecting the working mode, etc. The user can select the working mode of the display device in the mode selection interface. The mode selection interface includes multiple mode options such as "Standard Mode", "Education Mode" and "Children Mode". When the user selects "educational mode", the display device will work in the educational mode, such as displaying the homepage of the educational mode, and executing the interactive control strategy corresponding to the educational mode. When the user selects "Standard Mode", the display device will work in the standard mode, such as displaying the homepage in the standard mode, and executing the interactive control strategy corresponding to the standard mode.

It should also be noted that the user can also control the display device to switch from the standard mode to the education mode or the children's mode in the interface provided in the standard mode that includes the mode switching button, and the interface that includes the mode switching button provided in the education mode or the children's mode In the interface, control the display device to switch from education mode or children's mode to standard mode.

In some embodiments, the J application is started during the start-up process of the operating system of the display device. After the J application starts, read the mode attribute variable in the system attribute data. If the read mode attribute variable is the first value, display the standard mode system home page. If the read mode attribute variable is not the first value, display the homepage of the children's mode system or the education mode system homepage. For example, if the read mode attribute variable is the second value, then display the homepage of the juvenile mode system; if the read mode attribute variable is the third value, then display the education mode system homepage.

In some embodiments, the J application executes a mode switching process in response to a user operation. Specifically, the J application modifies the mode attribute variable in the system attribute data to the second value in response to the user operation indicating to enter the kids mode from the standard mode, and at the same time updates the currently displayed standard mode interface to the kids mode interface. The J application modifies the mode attribute variable in the system attribute data to the first value in response to the user operation indicating to enter the standard mode from the children's mode, and at the same time updates the currently displayed children's mode interface to the standard mode interface.

In some embodiments, the home page of the TV system provided by the J application includes at least a navigation bar and a content area below the navigation bar. , so as to display the title interface corresponding to the selected title control.

In some embodiments, the programs in the application layer can be integrated in the J application and displayed through a control on the navigation bar. When the application control in the navigation bar is selected, further display the page of the application.

In some embodiments, the applications on the display device include system applications and user applications, and the system applications may include Widget applications and other system applications. After the display device is powered on, user applications and other system applications are registered with the display device operating system. The Widget application is used to read the application registration information of the operating system, and integrate the Widgets corresponding to the user application and other system applications according to the read application registration information, so that the user can operate other system applications and user applications in the Widget application, such as launching A certain user application or a certain functional module that operates a certain user application. During specific implementation, the Widget application may have an independent UI interaction interface, which may be called a Widget panel, and is mainly used to display Widget controls. A Widget control corresponds to a certain user application or system application. The user operates the corresponding application by operating the Widget control on the Widget panel.

In some embodiments, the system home page displayed after the display device is turned on is a Widget application interface, that is, the system home page is a Widget panel including Widget controls arranged in a preset order. When the user clicks on any Widget control, the corresponding Widget control The application starts and displays the relevant content of the application.

In some embodiments, the view display area for displaying the Widget panel may occupy the entire screen, or may occupy part of the screen, such as occupying the left area of the screen.

In some embodiments, the user can start the Widget application and display the Widget panel by inputting a preset operation.

In some embodiments, the display device receives the input preset operation through the J application, and the J application starts the Widget application after receiving the preset operation. The Widget application displays Widget panels in different states according to the attributes of the current working mode. Specifically, if the current working mode is the standard mode, the Widget panel in the first state is displayed, and all widget controls displayed in the Widget panel in the first state are available; For the Widget panel in the second state, at least one Widget control in the Widget panel in the second state is unavailable. In this way, in the standard mode, the user can open all Widget controls, but in the children's mode or education mode, the user will not be able to directly open those Widget controls that are restricted to be used in the corresponding mode.

In some embodiments, after the Widget application is started, the mode attribute variable in the system attribute data is read, and the current working mode is determined according to the read mode attribute variable. Therefore, according to the different properties of the current working mode, different states of the Widget panel are presented. It can be seen that system attribute data can be shared between the Widget application and the J application, and the decoupling between the Widget application and the J application is realized by sharing the system attribute data.

Exemplarily, when the J application standard mode interface (the home page in standard mode as shown in FIG. 9 ) is displayed, the user can press and hold the left arrow key (hereinafter referred to as "left key") on the remote control to trigger the display of the Widget panel. After the J application receives the operation, it launches the Widget application through the implicit start method of the Intent. After the Widget application is started, it reads the mode attribute variable in the system attribute data. According to the read mode attribute variable, it can be determined that the current working mode is the standard mode, so the Widget panel in the first state is displayed. In the Widget panel in the first state Contains one or more Widget controls, each Widget control is available. When the Widget panel in the first state is displayed, the user can start the application corresponding to the Widget by operating any Widget control on it, and display relevant content of the application.

It is worth noting that, after the J application pulls up the Widget application in response to the received preset operation, it switches to run in the background, and the Widget application runs in the foreground. Furthermore, after the Widget application is started, the Widget control on the Widget panel can obtain the focus, but the J application cannot obtain the focus. Wherein, the specified Widget on the Widget panel first obtains the focus, and the selector indicating the focus position is displayed on the specified Widget control by default. When the Widget panel is displayed, the user can move the position of the selector through corresponding operations to select different Widget controls. Exemplarily, the specified Widget control may be the first Widget control on the Widget panel.

In some embodiments, the J application responds to the received preset operation, while pulling up the Widget application, moves the content in the standard mode interface to the right content area of the display along the lateral right direction of the display show. After the Widget application is started, the Widget panel is displayed in the left content area of the display. In this way, while the Widget panel is displayed, the content in the J application standard mode interface can be continuously displayed.

In some embodiments, the right content area of the display is referred to as a first content area, and the left content area of the display is referred to as a second content area. It should be understood that the sizes of the first content area and the second content area can be preset according to requirements.

In some implementations, the left part of the content in the standard mode interface is displayed in the right content area with the original display size, and the other right part of the content is hidden. Exemplarily, first, according to the width W1 of the pre-configured left content area, determine the distance X=W1 to move to the right; then calculate the new display position coordinates (X0 +X, Y0), where (X0, Y0) is the original display position coordinates of each interface element. Finally, on the basis of keeping the original display size of each interface element unchanged, each interface element is displayed at a new display position, and the interface elements beyond the right edge of the display window will be hidden.

In other implementations, all content in the standard mode interface is displayed in the right content area in a compressed display size. Exemplarily, first, according to the pre-configured width W1 of the left content area, the width W2 of the right content area is determined = Wmax-W1, where Wmax is the maximum width of the user interface. Then calculate the reduction ratio S according to the width of the right content area and the maximum width of the user interface, S=W2/Wmax. The new display size of each interface element in the standard mode interface calculated according to the reduction ratio is (a0×S)×(b0×S), where a0×b0 is the original display size of a certain interface element. Finally, all the content in the standard mode interface is displayed in the right content area with the new display size.

In some other embodiments, the Widget panel is displayed superimposed on the content of the J application standard mode interface. Wherein, the Widget panel can be set to be translucent, so that the covered content in the interface can be displayed through the Widget panel.

In some embodiments, the user can control switching to the children's mode or the education mode interface through a specified control on the homepage of the standard mode. Since the children's mode or education mode interface can display children's media or education media, it can restrict children in the family from using functions that have nothing to do with children or education, ensuring that children can learn in a pure space without being disturbed by other factors.

It is worth noting that the J App's Kid Mode interface is different from the "Kids" title interface nested in the standard mode home page. On the one hand, the child mode interface is independent, and its display scheme can be configured separately, while the "children" title interface is nested in the standard mode homepage, and its display scheme is a part of the standard mode homepage display scheme; on the other hand, the child mode interface The displayed content is different from the "Children" title interface. In some embodiments, the TAB column of the home page in the standard mode may also include an "education" control, and when the focus falls on "education", the title interface of "education" will be displayed in the lower content display area. It should be understood that, based on a similar reason to the title interface of "Children", the title interface of "Education" is different from the user interface in the education mode, and details will not be described here.

Exemplarily, when the home page in J standard mode as shown in FIG. 10 is displayed, the user can move the focus to the "children" control through operations. When the focus falls on the "Children" control, the displayed title interface changes to the "Children" title interface. Fig. 24 is an example of a possible "children" title interface. As shown in Figure 24, the interface includes functional controls such as "Children's Mode" and "Parents Center", wherein the user can enter into the Children's Mode by operating the "Children's Mode" control. After the application J receives the user's operation on the "children's mode" control, it displays the homepage of the children's mode, and sets the value of the mode attribute in the local attribute data as the second value.

Fig. 25 is a kids mode homepage shown in some embodiments of the present application, specifically, when the "kids" title interface shown in Fig. 24 is displayed, the user selects the "kids mode" control and enters the user interface after confirmation. As shown in FIG. 25 , the homepage of the children's mode includes a "quit children's mode" control, wherein the user can trigger switching to the standard mode by operating the "exit children's mode" control.

In some embodiments, when the homepage in the kids mode is displayed, the user can trigger the launch of the Widget application and display the Widget panel through a preset operation.

Exemplarily, when the homepage in the children's mode as shown in FIG. 25 is displayed, the user can press and hold the left button of the remote control to trigger the display of the Widget panel. Application J receives the preset operation, and launches the Widget application through the implicit start mode of Intent. After the Widget application is started, the mode attribute variable in the system attribute data is read. According to the read mode attribute variable, it can be determined that the current working mode is the children's mode, so the Widget panel in the second state is displayed. Different from the Widget panel in the first state displayed in the standard mode, at least one Widget control is unavailable in the Widget panel in the second state displayed in the children's mode.

In some embodiments, the Widget panel in the second state includes a hidden Widget control and an unlocking control for triggering the display of the hidden Widget control, that is, the Widget panel in the second state does not display any Widget control, so that by setting all the Widget controls to Controls are hidden making all Widget controls unavailable. At this time, the user cannot view the Widget controls on the Widget panel, and cannot operate any Widget control.

It is worth noting that, after the J application pulls up the Widget application in response to the received preset operation, it switches to run in the background, and the Widget application runs in the foreground. Furthermore, after the Widget application is started, the unlock control on the Widget panel can obtain the focus, but the J application cannot obtain the focus. When the user operates the unlock control, the Widget application displays a password input interface in response to the operation (such as a click operation) on the unlock control, and receives the password input by the user in the password input interface. After the Widget application receives the password entered by the user, it verifies whether the entered password is correct; if it verifies that the entered password is correct, it controls the hidden Widget control to appear in the Widget panel, thereby releasing the locked state of the Widget panel.

In some embodiments, the unlocked Widget panel is the same as the Widget panel in the first state.

After unlocking the Widget panel, the user can move the position of the selector through corresponding operations to select different Widget controls. The user can start the application corresponding to the Widget control and display relevant content of the application by operating the selected Widget control.

In some embodiments, in addition to displaying the unlock control, auxiliary information such as time information, weather information, and unlock prompt information may also be displayed on the Widget panel in the second state.

In some embodiments, the J application responds to the received preset operation, while pulling up the Widget application, moves the content in the children's mode interface to the right content of the display along the lateral right direction of the display displayed in the area. After the Widget application is started, the Widget panel in the second state is displayed in the left content area of the display. In this way, while the Widget panel is displayed, the content in the child mode interface can be continuously displayed.

In some implementations, the left part of the content in the children's mode interface is displayed in the right content area at the original display size, and the other right part of the content is hidden. Alternatively, all content in the child mode interface is displayed in the right content area in a compressed display size. For a more specific implementation, please refer to the content introduced above for the standard mode interface, which will not be repeated here.

In some other embodiments, the Widget panel in the second state is displayed superimposed on the content of the children's mode interface. Wherein, the layer where the Widget panel in the second state is located can be set to be translucent, so that the covered content in the interface can be displayed through the layer where the Widget panel is located.

FIG. 26 is a user interface shown in some embodiments of the present application. Specifically, the user interface is a user interface displayed when a long press operation of the left button is received when the home page of the system for children in FIG. 25 is displayed. As shown in Figure 26, a Widget panel is displayed in the content area on the left side of the user interface. The Widget panel displays unlock controls and auxiliary information. The auxiliary information specifically includes time information "12:34", greeting " Good noon" and the weather information "Today -11～2℃, sunny to cloudy". In the content area on the right side of the user interface, the main page of the child mode system continues to be displayed. It is worth noting that, in this example, limited by the size of the display area on the right side, each item in the home page of the system in kids mode is displayed in alignment with the left border of the display area on the right side with the original layout parameters, and the home page of the system in kids mode Displayed content that extends beyond the right border of the user interface is hidden. Wherein, the original layout parameters refer to the layout parameters of each item in FIG. 25 .

FIG. 27A is a user interface shown in some embodiments of the present application. The user interface is specifically the password input interface displayed after the user operates the unlock control in the Widget panel. As shown in FIG. 27A , in the password input interface, operable numeric soft keys, a delete key, and a password input area are displayed. The user can select the number to be input by moving the focus, input the selected number by confirming the operation, and delete the input number by operating the delete key. It should be understood that FIG. 27A is only an example of a password input interface. The password input interface displayed in different products may be different. For example, in some embodiments, a 6-digit or 8-digit password can be input in the password input area of the password input interface, and letters and/or symbol soft keys can also be displayed, and a clear key can also be displayed.

FIG. 27B is an unlocked user interface shown in some embodiments of the present application. The user interface is specifically the user interface displayed after the user enters a correct password in the password input interface. As shown in Figure 27B, the unlocked Widget panel is displayed in the content area on the left side of the user interface, and there are multiple Widget controls displayed on the Widget panel, which are "signal source", "application center" and "city service". , "Small Classroom", "Contacts", "Player", "Fitness Program", "Standard", "Equipment", "Smart Camera". The items in the homepage of the system for children are shifted to the right content area of the user interface as a whole, and the displayed content on the page that exceeds the right boundary of the user interface is hidden.

In some embodiments, if the Widget application verifies that the password input by the user in the password input interface is correct, then modify the mode attribute variable in the system attribute data to the second value or the third value.

In some embodiments, the J application polls the mode attribute variable in the system attribute data, and when the polled mode attribute system changes from the second value or the third value to the first value, the currently displayed children's mode interface or education The modal interface is updated to the standard modal interface.

In other embodiments, when the J application is switched from the background to the foreground, the J application reads the mode attribute variable in the system attribute data. If the read mode attribute variable is the first value, a standard mode interface is displayed. If the read mode attribute value is the second value or the third value, continue to display the child mode interface or the education mode interface. In this way, when the user successfully unlocks the Widget panel in the children's mode or education mode, and then controls the Widget application to exit through the return command, the Widget application will exit the foreground, and the J application will switch to the foreground, and read the mode attribute value as the first value , so as to update the currently displayed child mode or education mode interface to the standard mode interface, that is, to switch from the child mode or education mode to the standard mode.

In some embodiments, in the Widget panel in the second state, the Widget control is normally displayed, wherein the designated Widget control is unavailable, and the designated Widget control refers to a Widget control whose use is restricted in the children's mode and/or the education mode. During specific implementation, after the Widget application is pulled up by the J application, the mode attribute of each Widget is determined according to the configuration information of each Widget. If it is a children's mode and/or an education mode, a Widget control icon containing an unavailable mark is displayed, and the The Widget is configured as unavailable; if it is in the standard mode, the Widget control icon without the unavailable logo will be displayed. In these embodiments, the user can normally check the Widget panel to know all the Widget controls on the Widget panel, and the user can directly operate the available Widget controls, but cannot directly operate the unavailable Widget controls.

In some embodiments, when the user selects an unavailable Widget control and determines, the Widget application responds to the user operation by displaying the password input interface as shown in FIG. 27A and receiving the password input by the user on the password input interface.

In some implementation manners, if the Widget application verifies that the password entered by the user in the password input interface is correct, the Widget application directly launches the application corresponding to the Widget control operated by the user. After the corresponding application is started, the relevant content of the application may be directly displayed in the left content area, or the interface of the application may be displayed in full screen.

In other implementation manners, if the Widget application verifies that the password entered by the user in the password input interface is correct, activate the Widget control operated by the user to an available state, and cancel the unavailable mark on its icon. When the user operates the Widget control again, the application corresponding to the Widget control can be opened, that is, relevant content of the application is displayed.

Fig. 28 is a user interface shown in some exemplary embodiments of the present application. The user interface is specifically a user interface displayed after receiving a long press operation of the left button when the homepage of the system for children is displayed. In the user interface shown in Figure 28, a Widget panel is displayed in the view display area on the left side of the user interface, and there are multiple Widget controls displayed on the Widget panel, which are "Signal Source", "Application Center", and "City Service". , "Small Classroom", "Contacts", "Player", "Fitness Program", "Standard", "Equipment", "Smart Camera". Among them, "Signal Source", "Application Center", "City Service" and "Device" are unavailable Widget controls, on which a lock icon is displayed, while other Widget controls are available Widget controls.

When the user interface shown in Figure 28 is displayed, if the user selects the unavailable "Application Center" control and confirms, the Widget application will respond to the user's operation on the "Application Center", display the password input interface as shown in Figure 27A, and Receive the password entered by the user in the password input interface. In some implementation situations, if the Widget application verifies that the password entered by the user in the password input interface is correct, the application center application module is directly launched. After the application module of the application center is started, multiple application program icons may be displayed in the left content area, and the multiple application program icons are the first-level item contents corresponding to the "application center" control. Alternatively, after the application module of the application center is started, the homepage of the application module of the application center is displayed in full screen, and multiple application icons are displayed on the homepage. In other implementation situations, if the Widget application verifies that the password entered by the user in the password input interface is correct, the lock icon on the "application center" control is canceled. The user needs to operate the "Application Center" control again to expand the multiple application icons corresponding to the "Application Center" control in the left content area.

Fig. 29 exemplarily shows a user interface displayed after a correct unlock password is input in the password input interface. Different from the user interface shown in Figure 28, in Figure 29, multiple application program icons are displayed floating above the Widget panel.

In some embodiments, the unlocking passwords corresponding to different Widget controls are the same or different. After the Widget application receives the password entered by the user through the password input interface, it compares the received password with the correct password corresponding to the Widget control selected by the user to determine whether the password entered by the user is correct. If it is correct, the Widget selected by the user The control is activated as an available Widget control.

In some embodiments, when the user selects a Widget control with a lock icon and enters the correct unlock password in the password input interface, all unavailable Widget controls in the Widget panel can be activated as available Widget controls.

Using the previous example, when the user interface shown in Figure 28 is displayed, if the user selects the "Application Center" control and confirms, the Widget application will respond to the user's operation on the "Application Center" and display the password input interface as shown in Figure 27A. And receive the password input by the user in the password input interface. If the Widget application verifies that the password entered by the user in the password input interface is correct, the lock icons on all unavailable Widget controls in the Widget panel are canceled, and then the user interface shown in FIG. 30 is displayed. In Figure 30, the lock angle marks on the "Signal Source", "Application Center", "City Service" and "Device" controls all disappear, which means that the "Signal Source", "Application Center", "City Service", " Devices" controls are activated as available Widget controls.

In some embodiments, when the Widget panel in the global lock state or partial lock state as described above is displayed, the user can operate the return key on the remote control, or press and hold the right button to input a return command to control the Widget panel Collapse and return to the standard mode home page or continue to display the kids mode home page or the education mode home page. Specifically, the Widget application exits the foreground after receiving the input return instruction, and the Widget panel is put away. The J application responds to the exit of the Widget application from the foreground, switches to the foreground to run, and reads the mode attribute variable in the system attribute data. If the read mode attribute variable is the first value, the currently displayed standard mode interface or children's mode interface is updated to the standard mode interface. If the read mode attribute value is the second value or the third value, continue to display the child mode interface or the education mode interface.

In some embodiments, when the Widget panel in the first state or the unlocked Widget panel is displayed, the Widget control in the Widget panel can obtain the focus, and the user can select the target Widget control by moving the focus position for operation. When the focus falls on the target Widget control, the user can click the target Widget control by operating the "OK" button on the remote control. After receiving the operation on the target Widget control, the Widget application starts the application corresponding to the target Widget control, and displays relevant content of the application.

In some embodiments, after the application corresponding to the Widget control operated by the user is started, the first-level item content of the application can be displayed in the preset content area, for example, floating on the Widget panel and displayed in the left content area of the user interface . It is also possible to display a first-level page of the application in full screen, such as the home page of the application.

FIG. 31 is an exemplary user interface displayed after the user selects the "AI Gathering Assistant" control in the Widget panel shown in FIG. 10 . As shown in Figure 31, the first-level item content corresponding to the "AI Gathering Assistant" is displayed in the view display area on the left side of the user interface. Referring to Figure 31, we can see that the first-level items corresponding to "AI Xiaoju Assistant" include "weather", "information", and "calendar" controls, as well as five-day weather change charts and schedule information. In Figure 31, the focus stays on the "Weather" control by default. At this point, the user can move the focus to select other controls to display different item content. For example, when the focus is on the "Calendar" control, the weather information can be canceled and the calendar details of this month can be displayed. When the focus is on the "Information" control , the calendar details of this month will be canceled and the information list will be displayed.

Fig. 32 exemplarily shows the user interface displayed after the user selects the "application center" control in the Widget panel shown in Fig. 10 . As shown in FIG. 32 , the content of the first-level items corresponding to the "application center" is expanded in the view display area on the left side of the user interface, specifically including multiple application program icons. When Fig. 32 is displayed, the focus stays on the first application icon by default, and the user can move the focus position to select and operate any application to start the application.

Fig. 33 exemplarily shows the user interface displayed after the user selects the "signal source" control in the Widget panel shown in Fig. 10 . As shown in Figure 33, the signal source list is displayed in the view display area on the left side of the user interface. The signal source list is arranged by multiple signal source options, such as HDMI1, HDMI2, analog TV, terrestrial digital, etc. In the interface shown in FIG. 33 , the user can move the hidden signal source option in the signal source list to the view display area to display it by continuously moving the focus downward. In Figure 33, the focus stays on HDMI1 by default, and the user can move the focus position by operation to select and operate any signal source option.

In some embodiments, the user can trigger the display of the content of the secondary item corresponding to the content of the primary item by operating the content of the primary item of the corresponding application of the Widget control.

Fig. 34 exemplarily shows the user interface displayed after the user selects the "Settings" control in the Widget panel shown in Fig. 10 . As shown in Figure 34, multiple first-level setting items such as "one-key acceleration", "one-key direct access", "playback settings", "image mode" and "sound mode" are displayed in the view display area on the left side of the user interface , the focus stays on the "One-Key Acceleration" item by default. The user can select the item to be operated by moving the focus position, and by operating the selected first-level setting item, the content of the corresponding second-level item is triggered to be displayed. For example, if the user selects the "sound mode" item and confirms it, the secondary setting item corresponding to the "sound mode" item will be displayed. As shown in Figure 35, the secondary setting items corresponding to "sound mode" such as "AI sound quality", "cinema", "music", "sports" are displayed in the view display area on the left side of the user interface, and the user can move the focus position to select the sound mode you want to set, or cancel the currently set sound mode.

It should be understood that the displayed content and its level triggered by the user clicking on the Widget control depend on the design of the application corresponding to the Widget control, and those skilled in the art can design the display logic of the relevant content of each application according to user requirements.

It is worth noting that, in order to avoid confusion for the user when exploring the project content of each level, navigation icons are displayed in the view display area where the project content is displayed. For example, when displaying the content of the secondary item corresponding to a certain application, an icon indicating to return to the previous level is displayed in the display area of the corresponding view. If the currently displayed project content also includes the project content of the next level, an icon indicating entering the next level is displayed in the display area of the corresponding view.

Fig. 37 is a flowchart of a component display method in some embodiments of the present application. An embodiment of the present invention provides a display device, including: a display configured to present a user interface; a controller connected to the display, when executing the component display method shown in FIG. 37 , the controller is configured to perform the following steps:

S1B. Receive an operation to start the desktop application, acquire the service data of each business module provided by the desktop application, and display the desktop homepage in the user interface based on the service data of each service module.

Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a system homepage in some embodiments of the present application; Fig. 38 is a schematic diagram of a desktop homepage in some embodiments of the present application. Referring to FIG. 8 , the user starts the display device, and the display device presents a system home page, and a desktop application (J application) control icon is displayed on the system home page. Referring to FIG. 38 , the desktop application control icon is triggered to start the desktop application to present the desktop home page on the display device.

When displaying the desktop homepage, obtain the business data of each business module provided by the desktop application. The business data is used to realize the functions of the business module. The business data includes a business ID, which is used to represent the business module. Based on the business data of each business module, the desktop homepage is displayed in the user interface according to the preset homepage layout mode, and the functional content of each business module is displayed on the desktop homepage.

In some embodiments, each business module provided by the J application is displayed on the home page of the desktop, and each business module can be added to the Widget panel in the form of a Widget based on user-defined settings to provide a quick entry to the business module.

The Widget panel is displayed on the home page of the desktop, and the display method of the Widget panel can be displayed synchronously with the desktop home page on the user interface of the display device when the desktop application is started; or, when the desktop application is started, the display device is given priority The desktop homepage is displayed in the user interface of the desktop, and when a preset operation is generated based on the desktop homepage, the Widget panel is called out and displayed on the desktop homepage.

In some embodiments, the Widget panel is usually hidden when the display device is running, and when the user needs to quickly start a certain function (such as a function realized by a certain business module) through the Widget panel, the Widget panel can be called out based on a preset operation Displayed on the desktop homepage, the default operation refers to the user long pressing the left button on the remote control or other preset function keys. If the user wants to start a certain function, trigger the corresponding Widget in the Widget panel to directly start the function, that is, start a certain business module provided by the desktop application.

In some embodiments, the user can simultaneously register a corresponding Widget for a certain business module when starting the desktop application. At this time, when the desktop application is started, the WidgetManagers of all business modules are collected, the registration of component information related to the business modules is triggered, and stored in the WidgetServer.

Specifically, when registering a Widget for a business module, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps:

Step 101 , when registering a Widget for a business module, obtain business data of each remote business module, where the remote business module includes a business module provided by a desktop application or a third-party application.

Step 102: Send the service data of each remote service module to the data center module, and the data center module is used to process the service data of each remote service module.

Step 103. After the service data is processed, configure a service component management module for each remote service module based on the service ID of each remote service module.

Step 104, calling the target service component management module, registering the corresponding Widget for the target remote service module, and storing the component information and the corresponding service ID generated by registering the Widget into the component management module.

Referring to the desktop component framework shown in FIG. 5 again, when registering a Widget for a business module, at least one business data of a remote business module for component display can be obtained. The remote service modules include service modules provided by desktop applications (such as service module A in FIG. 5 ) or third-party applications (such as application B in FIG. 5 ).

When starting the desktop application, pull up the data center module (WidgetService) synchronously, so as to be ready to receive the business data of the remote business module. Therefore, when a Widget based on a new service module is registered, the data center module receives the service data of the remote service module.

After the data center module simply processes the business data of the remote business modules, a business component management module is configured for each remote business module. A remote service module corresponds to a service ID, therefore, the service ID can represent the corresponding service component management module (WidgetManager), and a service module corresponds to a service component management module.

To realize Widget registration, the data center module sends the business data of the target remote business model to the corresponding target business component management module, so that the target business component management module registers the corresponding Widget for the target remote business module. For example, send the business data of business module A to business component management module A for component registration, and send the business data of business module B to business component management module B for component registration.

When the target business component management module registers components of the target business module, component data and Widget panel information can be synchronously generated to form component information of the target business module. For example, component information A of business module A includes component data A and Widget panel information A, and component information B of business module B includes component data B and Widget panel information B.

After the component registration of the target business module by the target business component management module is completed, the component information of the target business module needs to be further stored, and the module for storing component information is the component management module (WidgetServer). Therefore, after the registration is completed, the target business component management module will store the component information generated by the target business module registration Widget and the corresponding business ID into the component management module (WidgetServer). The component management module stores the component information of the corresponding business module according to the business ID, so as to distinguish and call the component information of different business modules.

The above method of registering a Widget for a business module can be applied when the desktop application is started, and can also be applied during the running process of the desktop application. As long as there is a situation of registering a Widget for a business module, the above method can be used to realize the registration.

S2B. When displaying the Widget panel, call the business component management module to obtain the component information of the business module corresponding to each business ID from the component management module, and send it to the component display module. The component information refers to the registration of the business module provided by the desktop application Widget information. Component information includes component data and widget panel information. Component data refers to the data required to be displayed on the widget panel by the business module represented by the business ID. Widget panel information refers to the interface layout information displayed by the widget.

After the desktop application is started, a desktop homepage is presented in a user interface of the display device. During the display of the desktop homepage, the Widget panel can be displayed synchronously, or the Widget panel can be called up based on a preset operation and displayed on the desktop homepage. Then, when the Widget panel needs to be displayed, based on the desktop component framework shown in Figure 5, call the business component management module to obtain the component information of the business module corresponding to each business ID from the component management module, and send it to the component display module for display .

The component management module stores component information of all business modules capable of displaying components. Therefore, when the Widget panel needs to be presented, the component information of all business modules needs to be displayed.

When the desktop application starts, if the component registration of the new business module is not performed, the business component management module corresponding to the different business modules obtains the historically added component information from the component management module. That is, based on each business ID added in history, the corresponding business component management module obtains the component information of the business module corresponding to the business ID from the component management module.

When the desktop application starts, if the component registration of the new business module is performed, in addition to querying the historically added component information, it is also necessary to obtain the newly registered component information from the component management module. That is, based on each newly registered service ID, the corresponding service component management module obtains the component information of the service module corresponding to the service ID from the component management module.

After obtaining the component information of all business modules that need to be displayed, each business component management module sends the component information of the business modules obtained to the component display module, so that the component display module is based on the component information of each business module Complete the display of the Widget panel.

In some embodiments, when the user starts the desktop application and displays the Widget panel while the desktop home page is presented on the display device, the display of the Widget panel may be delayed because the generation of the desktop home page and the data acquired by the Widget panel may be different. The display of the back desktop home page. At this time, in order to ensure that the data can be displayed in the Widget panel and avoid misunderstanding the interface display errors for users, you can first use the default data to display the Widget panel. For example, the default data includes the default picture and default text, and the Widget panel is generated based on the default picture and default text, and displayed in time. After the cached component information is obtained from the component management module based on the desktop component framework, the component information of each business module is replaced and displayed in the Widget panel.

S3B. The calling component display module generates a Widget panel based on the component data corresponding to each business ID and the Widget panel information, and displays it on the desktop homepage. The Widget panel displays several Widgets for providing the startup entry of each business module.

After the component display module receives the component information of the corresponding business module sent by each business component management module, it can generate a Widget panel based on the component information of each business module and display it on the home page of the desktop. Each business module generates a corresponding Widget, lays it out on the Widget panel, and triggers a Widget to realize the quick start of the business module corresponding to the Widget.

To this end, the controller generates a Widget panel based on the component data and Widget panel information corresponding to each business ID when executing the calling component display module, and is further configured to perform the following steps:

Step 31D, calling the component display module to generate a component display frame including multiple Widgets based on the Widget panel information corresponding to each service ID, one service ID corresponding to one Widget.

In step 32D, the component data corresponding to each service ID is displayed on the corresponding Widget to form a Widget panel, and a Widget corresponds to a service module.

The Widget panel information in the component information is used to determine the layout and size (length and width) of the Widget corresponding to each business module. Therefore, when displaying the Widget corresponding to each business module in the Widget panel, it can be displayed according to the size of each Widget. layout and sorting. The component data in the component information is used to determine the information of the corresponding business module displayed on each Widget, such as the name, icon, and brief introduction of the business module.

Therefore, when displaying the desktop Widget panel, the component display module determines the layout and sorting of the Widgets corresponding to each service module based on the Widget panel information of the service module corresponding to each service ID. After completing the Widget layout and sorting, the component data of each business ID corresponding to the business module is displayed on the corresponding Widget to form a Widget panel. There is a one-to-one correspondence between business ID, business module and Widget.

The component data of the business module also includes trigger operations such as clicking. If the user wants to quickly start a certain business module provided by the desktop application, he can find the corresponding Widget of the business module in the Widget panel, trigger the Widget, and directly enter the corresponding business The home page of the module to realize the quick start of the business module.

In some embodiments, when displaying the Widget in the Widget panel, the Widget panel is provided with a plurality of regular grids with the same size. Since different Widgets correspond to different component sizes, the number of grids occupied by different Widgets is different.

Fig. 39 is a schematic diagram of a Widget panel in some embodiments of the present application. In order to simplify the drawing, the part of the desktop homepage actually displayed is not shown. It should be noted that the Widget panel and the desktop homepage are two independent display modules, and the Widget panel can be set independently from the desktop homepage in different display modes. Refer to Figure 39. For example, if the "My Home" component occupies 3 grids in the horizontal direction, the corresponding component size is 3×1 (that is, 3 control units in the horizontal direction and 1 control unit in the vertical direction, and the subsequent size expressions will not be repeated. Explanation); "My App" component occupies 2 horizontal grids, and the corresponding component size is 2×1; "Quick Settings" component occupies 1 grid, and the corresponding component size is 1×1; "Media Center" component occupies a grid, and the corresponding component size is 1×1.

Splicing and sorting each Widget according to their respective component sizes, so that the total number of horizontal grids occupied by multiple Widgets after splicing is the same as the total number of horizontal grids preset by the Widget panel, and the number of vertical grids can be expanded in real time, that is, Widget The total number of horizontally displayed grids of the panel remains unchanged, while the total number of vertically displayed grids is variable.

In some embodiments, if a Widget corresponding to a business module is newly added, a new Widget is displayed on the basis of each Widget originally displayed in the Widget panel. If the component size of the Widget is too large to be fully displayed in the horizontal direction, it will automatically expand one row downward for display. If a Widget displayed in the Widget panel is deleted, it will automatically shrink vertically.

In some embodiments, the method of determining the position when adding a component may be: obtain the component size of the newly added Widget, and determine whether the vacancy in the rectangular area corresponding to the position of all current controls can accommodate the component of the newly added Widget If the size can be accommodated, the newly added Widget component will be placed adjacent to the existing component, if not, it will be automatically extended by one row below.

In some embodiments, determine the vacancy in the rectangular area corresponding to the positions of all current controls, determine the position combination that can be formed in the vacancy area, and determine whether the formed position combination includes the size of the newly added Widget component. The four vacancies distributed in an exemplary square shape can be divided into vacancies of the following sizes according to the vacancy segmentation technology: 1×1, 1×2, 2×1, 2×2. The slot segmentation technology can be implemented using existing technologies.

In some embodiments, when automatically extending a row below, it is necessary to determine the height of the expanded row according to the determined height of the newly added Widget component, and then place the newly added Widget component in the expanded new row. Exemplarily, if the height of the component of the newly added Widget is 2, it is necessary to add a new line whose high bit is 2;

In some embodiments, the Widget panel is always loaded in the desktop application, that is, the Widget panel is displayed in a certain area on the homepage of the desktop, and the Widget panel cannot be activated for display on other pages.

In some embodiments, the home page of the desktop can switch between different TABs for different display. Other pages are the second-level pages corresponding to the controls under any TAB on the home page on the left, or the third-level pages of non-desktop home pages that are redirected from the second-level pages.

In some embodiments, if the display device directly enters the radio and television signal source when starting, such as directly playing a TV program, at this time, the display device does not display the system home page, then it is impossible to enter the desktop home page, that is, the startup service module or Widget panel cannot be generated The default operation, that is, the Widget panel cannot be called up for display.

In some embodiments, an instruction to move the focus from the user is received, and when the focus moves to the left or right border of the page, in response to the designation of the user continuing to move the focus, it is judged whether the current page is the desktop homepage, and if so, the desktop homepage is moved to Move in the opposite direction, and display the Widget panel at the vacant position on the display interface.

It can be seen that the display device provided by the present application is equipped with a desktop component framework, and realizes the custom layout of each Widget displayed in the desktop Widget panel through the desktop component framework, which is not limited by the system, and can realize rich interface effects and good user experience. .

In some embodiments, when a data change occurs in a business module corresponding to a certain Widget displayed in the Widget panel, the displayed content of the Widget may be refreshed. The data refresh method includes actively notifying the desktop application of the business module that has data changes, and the Widget panel actively obtains the data change of each business module from the data center module at a certain time interval.

In some embodiments, when the business module proactively notifies the desktop application to perform data refresh, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps:

Step 41D, when the target business module generates an information update, call the data center module to obtain the new component information generated by the target business module, and, based on the target business ID of the target business module, send the new component information of the target business module to the target business ID The corresponding target business component management module.

Step 42D, calling the target business component management module to send the new component information corresponding to the target business ID to the component display module.

Step 43D, call the component display module to determine the corresponding target Widget in the Widget panel based on the target service ID, and update the information display of the target Widget based on the new component information corresponding to the target service ID, so as to update the displayed information in the Widget panel.

When the business module actively notifies the desktop application to refresh data, the target business module that generates data changes actively notifies the desktop application to refresh the display content of the corresponding Widget in the Widget panel. At this time, the target business module that generates data changes will update the data Sent to the data center module (WidgetService).

The data changes that can be generated by the target business module include component data changes or Widget panel information changes. Component data changes can include changes in information that needs to be displayed or changes in trigger operation methods, and changes in Widget panel information include changes in style or layout. Therefore, new component information can be generated based on the change data of the target business module, and the new component information can be actively generated to the data center module.

After the data center module simply processes the new component information of the target business module, it distributes the new component information of the target business module to the target business component management module corresponding to the target business module. When distributing, the target business component management module (WidgetManager) for managing component information of the target business module can be determined based on the target business ID of the target business module.

In order to refresh the data of the Widget panel, the target business component management module is called to send the new component information corresponding to the target business ID to the component display module, and the component display module updates the display content of the corresponding Widget in the Widget panel based on the new component information. At the same time, in order to update the cached data in the component management module in time, the target service component management module synchronously sends the corresponding new component information to the component management module for storage based on the target service ID.

When the new component information indicates that the data change of the target business module is component data, for example, the target business module is the contact application side, if the user adds/deletes a new contact on the application side, the changed component data is the contact information . After the contact information is transmitted to the component display module based on the desktop component framework, the target Widget in the Widget panel is determined by the target business ID of the target business module as the "contact" component. Therefore, the newly added contact information is updated to the display content of the "Contact" component, or the deleted contact information is deleted from the "Contact" component, so as to update the display information in the Widget panel.

When the new component information indicates that the data change of the target business module is the Widget panel information, for example, the target business module is the contact application side, if the style of the "Contact" component is square, now change the component style to a circle, Then change the Widget panel information to the component style. After the component style information is transmitted to the component display module based on the desktop component framework, the target Widget in the Widget panel is determined to be the "contact" component by the target business ID of the target business module. Therefore, update the component style of the "Contact" component from the original square shape to a circle shape to update the information displayed in the Widget panel.

It can be seen that when a business module provided in the desktop application changes data, the business module actively notifies the desktop application and updates the information displayed on the Widget panel in real time, which can easily implement dynamic components, and the display effect of the Widget panel is better.

In some embodiments, when the Widget panel actively acquires the changed data of the business module for data refresh, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps:

Step 51D, when refreshing the display information on the Widget panel at intervals, call the target business component management module to obtain the new component information generated by the target business module from the data center module according to the preset interval, and send the new component information generated by the target business module to Component display module;

Step 52D, call the component display module to determine the corresponding target Widget in the Widget panel based on the target service ID, and update the information display of the target Widget based on the new component information corresponding to the target service ID, so as to realize the interval refresh of the displayed information in the Widget panel.

When the Widget panel actively obtains the change data of the business module for data refresh, the Widget panel actively requests the target business module to return the change data. At this time, the target business module sends the new component information generated by itself to the data after receiving the request. The central module, after simple data processing, obtains new component information generated by the target business module from the data center module by the business component management module corresponding to the target business module (target business ID).

In some embodiments, the preset interval for updating information on the Widget panel can be set as 30 minutes, and then the preset interval for invoking the target business component management module to actively obtain the new component information of the target module is also 30 minutes. The preset interval may also be other values, which are not specifically limited.

Fig. 40 is a schematic diagram of updating player Widget data in the Widget panel in some embodiments of the present application. When the new component information indicates that the data change of the target business module is component data, for example, the target business module is a player, and the corresponding target Widget in the Widget panel is a "player" component. Referring to (a) in Figure 40, if the "player" component originally displayed songs A, B, and C, after a preset interval of 30 minutes, the management module of the target business component corresponding to the player actively requests the player through the data center module Returns the current playback information. Referring to (b) in Figure 40, if the current playing information is songs A, B, C, D, E, then the displayed content of the "player" component in the Widget panel is changed from "songs A, B, C" to " Songs A, B, C, D, E", to automatically present the latest playback information of the player to the user, and realize the interval refresh of the information displayed on the Widget panel.

It can be seen that the desktop application can actively obtain the data changes generated by a certain business module, and the target business component management module corresponding to the business module can actively obtain the new component information of the business module according to the preset interval, and update the display on the Widget panel at an active real-time interval. Information, it is very convenient to implement dynamic components, and the display effect of the Widget panel is better.

In some embodiments, when implementing dynamic components, the desktop application can also change the valid status of the corresponding Widget in the Widget panel according to the business status of each business module. The valid status is used to indicate whether the corresponding Widget can be triggered by clicking. For example, if a certain business module is uninstalled, in order to remind the user that the business module cannot be quickly started through the Widget in the Widget panel, an invalidation mark may be added to the corresponding Widget.

Specifically, when adding an invalidation identifier to an invalidated Widget, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps:

Step 61D. When deleting the target service module, receive the delete operation on the target service module, and based on the target service ID of the target service module, invoke the corresponding target service component management module to send a service deletion command carrying the target service ID to the component display module.

Step 62D: call the component display module, and based on the service deletion instruction, add an invalidation mark on the target Widget corresponding to the target service ID in the Widget panel. The invalidation mark is used to indicate that the Widget corresponding to the target service module corresponding to the target service ID is invalid.

When a business module is deleted, the business status of the business module changes, so the desktop application is actively notified to update the display information of the corresponding Widget in the Widget panel.

If a business module configured in the desktop application is deleted/offline, it means that the desktop application no longer provides the business module, then the application management module of the display device will send the deletion/offline broadcast to the Widget panel, and the corresponding The invalidation logo is displayed on the target Widget. When the application module is deleted, the invalidation mark is displayed on the corresponding Widget in the Widget panel, and the user is notified in time that the corresponding Widget is invalid, the corresponding business module is deleted, and the corresponding business module cannot be started by triggering the Widget, so the user experience is good. At the same time, in order to update the cached data in the component management module in time, the target business component management module will synchronously send the corresponding service deletion command to the component management module based on the target service ID, so that the component management module will delete the component information of the deleted business module ,refresh cache.

Failure means unavailability. The failure of a business module refers to whether the application is available. For example, if the application exists in the display device, but is offline due to policy reasons or is no longer maintained in the background, the service module is unavailable. In contrast, valid refers to the usable state.

When the target business module is deleted and the business status of the target business module changes, the new component information of the target business module indicates that the component data has changed. At this time, the component data means that the target business module is unavailable, that is, the trigger operation cannot be performed.

After the target business module generates new component information, it actively notifies the desktop application, that is, sends the new component information to the data center module, and the data center module simply processes the new component information of the target business module, and distributes the new component information of the target business module To the target business component management module corresponding to the target business module. When distributing, the target business component management module (WidgetManager) for managing component information of the target business module can be determined based on the target business ID of the target business module.

Based on the new component information, call the target service component management module corresponding to the target service ID to send a service deletion command carrying the target service ID to the component display module. In order to realize the data refresh of the Widget panel, based on the service deletion command, the component display module adds an invalidation mark on the target Widget corresponding to the target business ID in the Widget panel. The invalidation mark is used to represent the Widget corresponding to the target business module corresponding to the target business ID invalidated.

Fig. 41 is a schematic diagram of displaying failure signs on Widgets in some embodiments of the present application. Referring to Figure 41, if the service module uninstalled by the user is Xpress, after the service deletion command of the media center is passed to the component display module based on the desktop component framework, the target Widget in the Widget panel is determined by the target service ID of the target service module as "Listen to your heart" component. Finally, the invalidation mark is displayed on the Widget control corresponding to the Xpressing service in the Widget panel, as shown in the figure "Invalidated".

It can be seen that when a business module provided in the desktop application is deleted, the business module actively notifies the desktop application to update the information displayed on the Widget panel in real time, which can easily implement dynamic components, and the display effect of the Widget panel is better.

In some embodiments, after the Widget panel is displayed on the home page of the desktop, when the user sees a Widget displaying an invalidation logo in the Widget panel, if the user triggers the invalidated Widget, an invalidation prompt interface will pop up in the current interface.

Step 71D: Receive a trigger operation on a target Widget with an invalidation mark displayed in the Widget panel, do not execute the start-up process of the target business module corresponding to the target Widget, and present an invalidation prompt interface with a delete button on the home page of the desktop.

Step 72D, receiving a trigger operation on the delete button, and deleting the target Widget in the Widget panel.

When the user triggers a target Widget with an invalidation flag to be displayed in the Widget panel, the target business module corresponding to the target Widget cannot be started. Therefore, when a target Widget with an invalidation flag in the Widget panel is triggered, the action of starting the target business module corresponding to the target Widget is no longer performed.

In order to inform the user that the target business module corresponding to the current target Widget cannot be started, a failure prompt interface will pop up on the home page of the desktop.

Fig. 42 is a schematic diagram of another failure prompt interface in some embodiments of the present application. Referring to Fig. 42, when the user triggers the invalidated "media center" Widget, an invalidation prompt interface is presented in the current user interface. In the invalidation prompt interface, there are delete button, cancel button and replacement control display area. The delete button is used to delete the invalid Widget, and the cancel button is used to close the invalidation prompt interface. The replacement widget display area is used to display other widgets recommended by the system that can be displayed. If the user clicks the delete button, the target Widget in the Widget panel can be deleted, that is, the "media center" Widget will be deleted.

In some embodiments, the Widget panel is located in the home page of the desktop, so when the invalid target Widget is triggered based on the Widget panel, the failure prompt interface is provided by the Widget panel, that is, the display is controlled by the component display module. The pop-up invalidation prompt interface is displayed on the upper layer of the Widget panel, which is equivalent to displaying the invalidation prompt interface on the upper layer of the desktop homepage. The display of the invalidation prompt interface does not affect the original display structure of the desktop homepage, that is, the positions of the various businesses originally displayed on the desktop homepage will not be adjusted, and the invalidation prompt interface is displayed in a floating form.

In some embodiments, when the recommended Widget control recommended by the system is displayed in the replacement widget display area, the recommended Widget control is generated based on the property parameters of the target Widget control with an invalidation flag, and the property parameters are widget (Widget) information. When a user registers a Widget based on a business application, the icon, size, business type, application and other information generated when registering the business Widget control will be stored in the component management module (WidgetServer). Therefore, the attribute parameters of the target Widget can be obtained from the component management module (WidgetServer). Attribute parameters include control size, business type, application, etc. The recommended Widget control refers to a control that has the same characteristics as the target Widget, and the recommended Widget control is used to replace and display the original position of the deleted target Widget control based on user triggers.

The replacement control display area in the failure prompt interface can be displayed under the delete button. If the replacement control display area can display up to 6 display bit thresholds, the replacement control display area can display up to 6 recommended Widget controls, and the replacement control display area The number of display positions that can be displayed can also be other numbers, which can be adjusted according to actual application conditions.

Since different Widgets have different control sizes, in order to display the Widget recommended by the system at the original location of the deleted target Widget, a Widget with the same size can be searched based on the size of the deleted Widget. In order to be able to start Widgets with similar characteristics at the same location based on the user, it is also possible to recommend alternatively displayed Widgets to the user based on the service type or the application it belongs to as an attribute parameter. That is to say, the recommended Widget controls having the same characteristics as the target Widget refer to controls having at least one of the characteristics such as the same size, similar business type, and the same application.

In some embodiments, the desktop component framework can realize the multi-level menu expansion of a certain Widget in the Widget panel, and can classify the various business modules provided by the desktop application according to business requirements, and divide the business of the same type into the same category , and configure a general Widget in the Widget panel for this class. When a service under the total Widget needs to be triggered, the general Widget can be triggered, and a secondary service menu pops up in the Widget panel, and the secondary service menu displays menu items corresponding to services of the same type. Then trigger a menu item based on the secondary service menu to realize the quick start of the corresponding service.

To this end, when the desktop component framework classifies based on the type of each business module, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps:

Step 81D, when adding a Widget group in the Widget panel, receive a trigger operation on the Add button displayed in the Widget panel, switch the add page to display in the user interface, and display the Widget group list and component preview area on the Add page, under the same Widget group The business types of the business modules to which each Widget belongs are the same, and the component preview area displays each Widget corresponding to the Widget group.

Step 82D: Receive a trigger operation on the target Widget group in the Widget group list, and display the Widget corresponding to the target Widget group in the component preview area.

Step 83D, receiving a trigger operation on the target Widget in the component preview area, and adding the target Widget corresponding to the target Widget group into the Widget panel.

The user can add a Widget based on the Widget panel. At this time, an Add button is displayed at the bottom of the Widget panel (as shown in FIG. 39 ), and the Add button is triggered to generate an Add page, which is switched and displayed in the user interface.

Fig. 43 is a schematic diagram of adding pages in some embodiments of the present application. See Figure 43, the Widget group list and the component preview area are displayed on the adding page, and the names of several Widget groups are displayed in the Widget group list, and a Widget group includes Widgets with business modules of the same business type, that is, business modules of the same business type Classification; Widgets of each business module corresponding to the Widget group are displayed in the component preview area, and the display content in the component preview area changes with the change of the clicked target Widget group in the Widget group list.

In some embodiments, the added page and the Widget panel are generated through the component display module, and the desktop home page is generated through the application management module of the system configuration. In the interface shown in FIG. 8 , the display window of the desktop application is located on the system homepage, and when the desktop application is triggered, the desktop homepage pops up and is displayed on the upper layer of the system homepage. When the Widget panel needs to be called up, the user long presses the left button of the remote control to call up the Widget panel and display it on the desktop homepage. A feasible way to display the Widget panel is to pop up from the left side of the display, extrude the desktop homepage as a whole to the right, and leave a space on the left side of the desktop homepage for the Widget panel to display. At this time, the displayed content on the right side of the desktop homepage disappears from the display, and is displayed in the state shown in Figure 38; if the display of the Widget panel is canceled, the desktop homepage moves to the left as a whole and restores the original state.

In some embodiments, the Widget panel is located in the home page of the desktop, so when the add button is triggered based on the Widget panel, the add page is provided by the Widget panel, that is, the display is controlled by the component display module. The pop-up add page is displayed on the upper layer of the Widget panel, which is equivalent to being displayed on the upper layer of the home page of the desktop. The added page is displayed on the upper layer of the desktop homepage in the form of overlay. Therefore, the display of the added page will not affect the original display structure of the desktop homepage, that is, the positions of the original displayed businesses on the desktop homepage will not be adjusted.

In some embodiments, if the user triggers the target Widget group, such as the children's zone, it can be determined that the service modules of the same business type corresponding to the target Widget group (children's zone) can be "children's mode", "small classroom", "learning Report", etc., then the widgets of each business module corresponding to the target widget group need to be displayed in the component preview area, such as the "Kids Mode" Widget, "Small Classroom" Widget, and "Learning Report" Widget, etc. Wherein, each business widget may have different component sizes for the user to select and add a Widget of a target component size to the widget panel.

In some embodiments, when the added page is displayed, the component information and business type of each business module of the corresponding pre-registered Widget are obtained from the component management module by the business component management module based on each business ID, and the component information refers to the desktop The information generated when the business module provided by the application registers the Widget. The component information includes component data and widget panel information. interface layout information.

Group several business modules based on business types, call the component display module to generate a Widget group list for business modules of the same business type, and display the Widgets corresponding to each business module of the same business type in the component preview area. When the user triggers any target Widget group in the Widget group list, each Widget corresponding to the target Widget group will be displayed in the component preview area; Each Widget corresponding to the target Widget group.

In some embodiments, if the user has added at least one Widget to the Widget panel under a certain group, then when the added page is displayed, the business component management module counts the business type of the business module that has added Widget to the Widget panel for the last time , calculate the number of business modules that have added Widgets to the Widget panel under the same business type based on the added business type. When displaying the Widget group list, the added quantity is displayed on the display item of the Widget group corresponding to the service type, as shown in Figure 43, the added quantity of Widgets under the "Media Center" Widget group is 1.

When the user needs to display the widgets of each business module under the children's zone group in the widget panel, the target widget in the component preview area will be directly triggered. If the "kids mode" widget is triggered, the "kids mode" widget will be added to the widget panel .

At this time, in order to realize the addition of Widgets of each business module under the target Widget group in the Widget panel, the target business ID is determined by the triggered target Widget, and the target business component management module corresponding to the target business ID is called to store the component information of the target Widget in the component In the management module, it is convenient for subsequent component display.

Fig. 44 is another schematic diagram of adding pages in some embodiments of the present application. Referring to Figure 44, when the user triggers to add the target Widget group in the page as "application", it can be determined that the business modules corresponding to the target Widget group (application area) are all application-type services, which can be "cloud audio-visual small TV", "CIBN Cool Meow", "Cloud Audiovisual Aurora", "Galaxy Kiwi", etc. Then in the component preview area, the fixed widgets of the target widget group and the widgets of each business module corresponding to the target widget group need to be displayed. For example, the fixed widgets are "My Application (1x1)" Widget, "My Application (2x1)" Widget, " My application (2x2)" Widget; Widgets corresponding to the target Widget group can be "Cloud Audiovisual Small TV" Widget, "CIBN Cool Meow" Widget, "Cloud Audiovisual Aurora" Widget, "Galaxy Kiwi" Widget, etc.

The fixed widgets of the target widget group (such as the application group) include different component sizes. Widgets with different component sizes perform different trigger processes. For example, if the component size is 1x1, when the corresponding "application" group widget is triggered, the user interface will jump. Go to my application page, which displays various applications of the same application type, and the application is displayed as a menu item instead of a widget; if the component size is 2x1 or 2x2, trigger the corresponding "application "When grouping Widgets, the category menu of "My Application" will be displayed on the upper layer of the current Widget panel. The category menu of "My Application" displays the applications of the same application type installed by the system. displayed in the form of Widget instead of in the form of Widget.

In some embodiments, if the user wants to add widget groups corresponding to the same business type to the Widget panel, so as to simultaneously view various business modules (such as all applications) installed in the system through the Widget panel, the user can click on the target in the component preview area Fixed Widgets grouped by Widgets, such as "My Application (2x1)" Widget; if the user wants to add a Widget of a certain business module to the Widget panel, so as to directly start a certain business module based on the Widget panel, he can click the component to preview Widgets of various business modules in the district, such as "Cloud Audiovisual TV" Widget, "CIBN Cool Meow" Widget, "Cloud Audiovisual Aurora" Widget, "Galaxy Kiwi" Widget, etc.

It can be seen that when displaying desktop components based on the desktop component framework, the display device provided by this application can customize the width, height, layout, style, click to jump, multi-level expansion menu, etc. of the components according to their own business needs, and display the widget panel The effect is better and the user experience is good.

In some embodiments, when the user triggers the target Widget corresponding to the target Widget group based on the Widget panel, a secondary classification menu may pop up in the current Widget panel to display all business modules belonging to the business type corresponding to the target Widget group. To this end, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps:

Step 9D1, when triggering the target Widget corresponding to the target Widget group, receive a trigger operation on the target Widget corresponding to the target business module in the Widget panel, if the component size of the target Widget meets the preset size, call the target business component management module from The component management module obtains the menu item information corresponding to each business module under the target Widget group, and sends it to the component display module.

Step 92D: call the component display module to generate a service menu based on the menu item information corresponding to each business module, and display it in the Widget panel, and display the service menu items corresponding to each business module under the target Widget group in the service menu.

When the user needs to trigger the target Widget corresponding to the target Widget group, first determine whether the component size of the target Widget in the Widget panel triggered by the user meets the preset size, and the preset size refers to a component size other than 1x1. If the component size of the target Widget is 1x1, the preset size is not satisfied, so the user interface will jump to the main page of the target Widget group. For example, when the target Widget corresponding to "Application" is triggered, if the component size of the Widget is 1x1, the user interface jumps to the My Application page, which displays various applications of the same application type. Items are displayed instead of Widgets.

If the component size of the target Widget is 2x1 or 2x2, the preset size is met. Therefore, the classification menu corresponding to the target Widget group can pop up in the Widget panel, that is, the service menu. At this point, call the target business component management module corresponding to each business module in the target Widget group to obtain the menu item information corresponding to each business module under the corresponding target Widget group from the component management module, and send it to the component display module.

When displaying each service menu item under the classification of the target service module, the component display module generates a service menu based on the menu item information corresponding to each service module. The service menu is a secondary menu relative to the Widget panel. The service menu items corresponding to each service module under the target Widget group are displayed in the service menu. The method of generating the service menu can refer to the various service modules provided based on the desktop application in the foregoing embodiments. The method of generating the Widget panel from the component information will not be repeated here.

For example, if the component size of the triggered "Application" group Widget is 2x1 or 2x2, the category menu of "My Application" will be displayed on the upper layer of the current Widget panel, and the category menu of "My Application" will display the ones installed by the system. For each application of the same application type, the application is displayed in the form of a menu item.

Fig. 45 is a schematic diagram of a service menu in some embodiments of the present application. Referring to Figure 39 and Figure 45, if the user triggers the "My Application (2x1)" Widget corresponding to the target Widget group (My Application) based on the Widget panel, the service menu will pop up in the current Widget panel, and the "My Application" will be displayed in the service menu. The menu items of all applications under the "Applications" category, such as the "Cloud TV" menu item, the "CIBN Cool Meow" menu item, the "Cloud Video Aurora" menu item, the "Galaxy Kiwi" menu item, etc. When the user triggers any menu item, the corresponding application can be launched directly.

Fig. 46 is another schematic diagram of the service menu in some embodiments of the present application. Referring to Figure 39 and Figure 46, if the user triggers the "AI Camera" Widget corresponding to the target Widget group (AI Camera) based on the Widget panel, the service menu will pop up in the current Widget panel, and all the "AI Camera" categories will be displayed in the service menu. The menu items of the application, such as the "Magic Mirror" menu item, the "Video Call" menu item, the "AI Fitness" menu item, the "Small Gathering at Home" menu item, etc. When the user triggers any menu item, the corresponding business module can be started directly, and the corresponding business home page can be switched and displayed.

In some embodiments, the Widget panel is located in the home page of the desktop, so when the target Widget group is triggered based on the Widget panel, the service menu pops up and is displayed on the upper layer of the Widget panel. The service menu is provided by the Widget panel, that is, the display is controlled by the component display module. The service menu is displayed on the upper layer of the Widget panel in the form of a floating layer. Therefore, the display of the service menu does not affect the original display structure of the Widget panel and the desktop homepage, that is, the positions of the original displayed services on the Widget panel and the desktop homepage will not be adjusted.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 39 again, an edit button and an alignment button are also displayed in the Widget panel. When the edit button is triggered, any Widget displayed in the Widget panel can be modified, such as modifying properties; when the alignment button is triggered, the All Widgets displayed in the Widget panel are aligned and arranged.

In some embodiments, during the display process of the Widget panel, no matter whether the target business module generates data changes in any of the above-mentioned ways, when the Widget panel needs to refresh the interface display content, the changed data of the target business module is returned, or the target business module When the data is actively refreshed, the changed data is sent to the data center module. After the data center module receives the changed data and simply processes it, it is distributed to the corresponding target business component management module according to the target business ID. After the target business component management module receives the data, it distributes it to the corresponding Widget according to the target business ID. After the component display module receives the data, it displays the changed data on the target Widget to update the display information of the Widget panel.

It can be seen that, when displaying desktop components based on the desktop component framework, the display device provided by this application can classify each service module provided by the desktop application according to different types, and all services under the same category belong to the same type. Therefore, more categories can be extended infinitely horizontally, and each category manages its own components.

Fig. 37 is a flowchart of a component display method in some embodiments of the present application. Referring to Figure 37, an embodiment of the present invention provides a component display method, the method includes:

S1B. Receive a startup operation on the desktop application, acquire the business data of each business module provided by the desktop application, and display the desktop homepage in the user interface based on the business data of each business module;

S2B. When displaying the Widget panel, call the business component management module to obtain the component information of the business module corresponding to each business ID from the component management module, and send it to the component display module. The component information refers to the business module provided by the desktop application The information generated when the Widget is registered, the component information includes component data and Widget panel information, the component data refers to the data required to be displayed on the Widget panel for the business module represented by the business ID, and the Widget panel information refers to the Widget panel information Displayed interface layout information;

S3B. Call the component display module to generate a Widget panel based on the component data and Widget panel information corresponding to each business ID, and display it on the desktop homepage. There are several displays in the Widget panel for providing each business module startup entry Widget.

A component display method and a display device provided by an embodiment of the present invention display a desktop homepage based on business data of each business module when a desktop application is started. When displaying the Widget panel on the desktop homepage, call the business component management module to obtain the component information of the business module corresponding to each business ID from the component management module, and send it to the component display module, and call the component display module based on the information corresponding to each business ID Component data and Widget panel information generate a Widget panel and display it on the home page of the desktop. The Widget panel displays several Widgets that provide the startup entry for each business module. It can be seen that when the method and the display device display components based on the desktop component framework, the component information is split into component data and Widget panel information without being restricted by the system, and the layout and style of each Widget presented in the Widget panel can be customized. Define the editor to provide users with a Widget panel with various effects.

In some embodiments, when the input signal source of the display device changes, a Widget reminder is displayed on the upper layer of the currently displayed interface. Exemplarily, when it is detected that the signal input of one or more HDMI interfaces has changed from scratch, it is determined that the input signal source has changed, and at this time, a Widget reminder is displayed on the upper layer of the currently displayed interface. The Widget reminder is used to prompt the user that the signal source has changed, and/or, when the Widget reminder is displayed, the user can instruct the display device to display the Widget panel or the signal source selection interface through operations.

In some embodiments, the control used to load the widget reminder is not focusable. In these embodiments, when the Widget reminder is displayed, the focus may remain unchanged after the user's last operation.

In some other embodiments, the control where the Widget prompts is located may acquire focus. In these embodiments, when the Widget reminder is displayed, the Widget reminder control seizes the focus, that is, the focus automatically falls on the control where the Widget reminder is located.

In some embodiments, after the display device is turned on, it displays the TV system homepage or pages corresponding to other signal sources, where the TV system homepage can be the homepage of a preset video-on-demand program, such as the application homepage of the "Jukankan" application, other signal sources The corresponding page may be the live TV homepage or the page corresponding to the HDMI interface. It should be understood that when displaying the homepage of the TV system, the input signal source of the display device is a video-on-demand program, and at this time, other signal sources such as live TV interface and HDMI interface may have no signal input. When displaying the live TV home page, other signal sources such as the video-on-demand program interface and the HDMI interface may have no signal input.

When displaying the home page of the TV system or the page corresponding to other signal sources, if it is detected that the input signal source changes, such as adding a signal source, reducing a signal source or switching signal sources, a Widget reminder will be displayed on the upper layer of the system home page. When the Widget reminder is displayed, the user can instruct the display device to display the first-level item content corresponding to the Widget panel or the "signal source" Widget control by long pressing the left button.

Fig. 47 is a user interface shown in some exemplary embodiments of the present application. The user interface is specifically a user interface displayed when a change in the input signal source is detected when the homepage of the TV system as shown in Fig. 7 is displayed. As shown in Figure 47, a Widget reminder control is displayed in the upper left corner of the system home page, through which the user can learn that the current signal source changes. In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 47, the Widget reminder control cannot acquire focus.

Exemplarily, when displaying the user interface containing the Widget reminder control as shown in FIG. 47 , if the user presses and holds the left button, the Widget panel may be displayed, as shown in FIG. 640 , which will not be repeated here.

In another example, when the user interface containing the Widget reminder control as shown in FIG. 47 is displayed, if the user presses and holds the left button, the content of the first-level item corresponding to the "signal source" control is displayed, as shown in FIG. 18 . I won't repeat them here.

In some embodiments, when the desktop home page/non-full-screen playback page is displayed, the Widget reminder control cannot acquire focus when it is displayed. The display device receives an instruction from the user to move the focus, and when the focus moves to the left/right border of the display interface, determine whether there is a Widget reminder control currently displayed, and if so, display the sub-panel corresponding to the signal source control in the control panel area to display the signal Source information; if not, the control panel area displays the default Widget panel. Wherein, the non-full-screen playback page refers to other pages other than the full-screen playback page.

In some embodiments, the default Widget panel is the main panel, and at least some components on the main panel correspond to sub-panels to display detailed information corresponding to the components. Exemplarily, the Widget panel is provided with a signal source component, and after the user selects the signal source component, a sub-panel corresponding to the signal source control is displayed in the Widget control panel area.

In some embodiments, when the display device plays the video program in full screen, if it is detected that the input signal source changes, the Widget reminder is displayed on the upper layer of the video program screen while continuing to play the video program in full screen. At this point, the user may instruct the display device to display the Widget panel or the signal source list through operations.

In some embodiments, the Widget reminder control displayed when the video program is playing in full screen can acquire focus.

In some embodiments, the focus object may be displayed on the Widget reminder control while the Widget reminder control is displayed on the video program screen. Alternatively, when the display duration of the Widget reminder control on the video program screen reaches a first preset duration, the focus object may be displayed on the Widget reminder control.

In some embodiments, when the focus stays on the Widget reminder control, the user can control the display of the Widget panel or the signal source list through a confirmation operation.

In some embodiments, if no confirmation operation on the Widget reminder control is received within the second preset time period after the Widget reminder control is displayed, the Widget reminder control is canceled.

As shown in FIG. 48 , in the user interface, the video program screen is displayed in full screen, and a Widget reminder control is displayed in the upper left corner area of the upper layer of the video program screen. At this time, no focus object is displayed on the Widget reminder control, that is, it has not acquired focus.

FIG. 49 is a user interface displayed after the display duration of the Widget reminder control in FIG. 48 reaches a first preset duration (for example, 3s). The main difference from the interface shown in FIG. 48 is that, in the user interface shown in FIG. 49 , a focus object is displayed on the Widget reminder control. At this point, the user can instruct to display the Widget panel or the signal source list by operating the confirmation key on the remote controller.

FIG. 50 exemplarily shows a user interface displayed upon receiving a confirmation operation input by a user when the user interface shown in FIG. 49 is displayed. As shown in FIG. 50 , while continuing to play the video program, a Widget panel or a signal source list is displayed on the upper layer of the video program screen.

In the example shown in Figure 48-23, if the confirmation operation input by the user is received, the video program can also be stopped.

In some embodiments, the user can remove the Widget controls on the Widget panel and move the position of the Widget controls on the Widget panel to change the layout of the Widget controls in the Widget panel.

Next, taking the Widget panel shown in FIG. 7 as an example, user operations and interface changes in the process of moving the position of the Widget control and deleting the Widget control are introduced.

In some embodiments, when the focus stays on any Widget control, the user can activate the editing state of the Widget panel by long pressing the confirmation key on the remote control. When the Widget panel is in the editing state, the user can edit it Move or delete the Widget controls on the

In some embodiments, the Widget panel in the editing state is called a Widget editing panel.

In some embodiments, the Widget panel has a control for activating the editing state of the Widget panel, and the user can activate the editing state of the Widget panel by operating the control.

In some embodiments, after the user presses and holds a certain Widget control to activate the editing state of the Widget panel, the Widget control is picked up according to the default location where the focus is. For example, as shown in Figure 51, the focus stays on the "Settings" control, and when the user presses and holds the confirmation key on the remote control, the "Settings" control is automatically picked up while the Widget panel editing state is activated (put the focus on the "Settings" control). Settings" control). This is because the user invokes the setting operation when the focus is on the Widget control, which means that the user will edit the Widget control. Therefore, picking up the Widget control by default simplifies the user’s operate.

In some embodiments, the user can cancel the picking of the "Settings" control through the operation of the return command, and then move the focus through the direction keys. When the focus is on the target control, short press the OK key to pick up the target control.

In some embodiments, after the "Settings" control is automatically picked up, the activation of the Widget panel can be deactivated through continuous instructions.

In some embodiments, after the "Settings" control is automatically picked up, the position of the "Settings" control is determined, and a direction control is displayed for a side that is not adjacent to the boundary to indicate an inputtable direction command that does not delete the control. A delete control is displayed for sides adjacent to the border to indicate that entering a direction command for that direction deletes the control.

In some embodiments, the automatically picked up "Settings" control can be located in the middle position, so the direction controls are displayed in the four directions centered on it, up, down, left, and right. After receiving the direction instruction to move to the right inputted by the user, the position of the control is moved. , the control pointed to (such as the "Router" control) can be overlaid, that is, the setting control is overlaid and displayed on the top of the "Router" control, or the position can be exchanged. At this time, the controller judges whether the four sides of the "Setting" control are adjacent to the border of the panel , for example, as shown in Figure 54, set the right side of the control to be adjacent to the right border of the display panel, and the other sides are not adjacent to the panel border, so the other three sides display direction arrow controls respectively, and the right side displays a deletion prompt controls. By deleting the display of the control, the user can be prompted to continue pressing the side direction key (for example, the right direction key) on the remote control device at this time, and the "settings" control will not be moved to the next row, but will be deleted. . On the one hand, it avoids the cumbersome operation of entering the entire Widget panel into the control deletion/installation mode in the control management logic of the prior art; After the "Settings" control is moved to a position adjacent to the boundary, before receiving a further right-moving key instruction, an obvious reminder can relieve the user from moving the focus to the next line or the next line after receiving the focus movement instruction in other devices. The impact of the operating habit of not being able to move is animated.

In some embodiments, the following method can be used to determine whether the edge of the control is adjacent to the border of the panel. One way is to determine whether the border of the control and the border of the Widget are preset values. The distance between them can be determined according to the display position of the control and the display position of the Widget panel during the design process. Another way is to specify the boundary control bit, and when the position of the control overlaps with the boundary control bit, determine the boundary corresponding to the control adjacent to the boundary control bit. In another manner, judging by the coordinates of the control and the preset coordinates, for example, x=a is the boundary of the control position corresponding to the left boundary, and x=b is the boundary of the control position corresponding to the right boundary. When the x-coordinates of the two vertical sides of the "Settings" control are A and B respectively, if a is not equal to A and b is equal to B, then it is determined that the control is adjacent to the right border of the panel, and then a direction arrow is displayed on the left side, and a direction arrow is displayed on the right side. The side shows the delete control. In some cases, a control with a width of 3 will appear. When a is equal to A and b is equal to B, it is determined that the control is adjacent to the left and right borders of the panel, and the delete control is displayed on the left side, and the delete control is also displayed on the right side. The user Control deletion is triggered by both the left and right arrows.

In some embodiments, the overlapping display can avoid the repeated movement of the control. Exemplarily, if the user chooses to move the "Settings" control to the right, the control can be overlaid on the first target control such as the "Router" control. If the user chooses to move down The "Move, Set" control can be overlaid on the second target control such as the "Multi-Screen Interaction" control, and the "Router" control is restored to the display and the position is avoided. If the user enters the editing operation now, the "Settings" can be exchanged through the update of the coordinates " control and "Multi-Screen Interaction" control, while the "Router" control is not affected.

Exemplarily, when the user interface shown in FIG. 640 is displayed, the user may slide the Widget panel downwards by moving the focus downward, so that the controls arranged at the lower part of the Widget panel are displayed in the view display area. FIG. 53 is a user interface displayed after the user slides the Widget panel to the bottom. In FIG. 53 , edit controls and add controls are displayed below the current function controls. When the user operates the editing control, the Widget panel enters the editing state, and then the Widget editing panel can be displayed; when the user operates the adding control, it will jump to the Widget store interface.

Referring to Fig. 52, the Widget controls on the Widget panel are reserved on the Widget editing panel, and a position frame is also displayed. The position frame is composed of multiple grids. A grid is the smallest area unit that a Widget control can occupy, and it is also the minimum moving distance when moving the position of the Widget control. A Widget control can be laid out on one or more grids. It should be understood that the larger the size of the Widget control, the larger the number of grids it occupies. In Figure 52, the "Settings" control is in the picked-up state. At this time, the "Settings" control also displays an operation indicator, which indicates four moving directions, which are up, down, left, and right, indicating The user can move the Settings control up, down, left, and right.

When the Widget editing panel is displayed, the user can pick up the Widget control to be moved, move the picked up Widget control up, down, left or right, delete the Widget control by moving the Widget control out of the view display area, and Drop the picked up Widget control. Exemplarily, when the focus stays on a Widget control, the user can operate the confirmation key on the remote control to pick up the Widget control, and then move the position of the Widget control by operating the direction keys on the remote control. When the Widget control is moved out of the view display area, the Widget control will be deleted; the user can drop the picked up Widget control by operating the confirmation key on the remote control.

Referring to Figure 52, in the state of picking up the "Settings" control, if the user presses the right button on the remote control, the "Settings" control will move to the right, wherein, each time the right button is pressed, the "Settings" control will move one step to the right grid. Of course, the user can also press the left button, the up button or the down button on the remote control to move the "setting" control to the left, up and down.

When the display device receives the user operation of moving the "Settings" control to the right, it displays the user interface shown in FIG. 54 . It can be seen that, compared to Figure 52, in Figure 54, the "Settings" control moves one grid to the right, overlaps with the "Router" control and is displayed on the upper layer of the "Router" control, and the operation instructions displayed on the "Settings" control The logo indicates three directions of movement, up, down, and left, indicating that the user can move the Settings control up, down, and left. It is worth noting that the grid where the "Settings" control is currently located is located at the edge of the view display area, so a deletion reminder is displayed on the right side of the "Settings" control to remind the user that the "Settings" control can be moved out of view by right-clicking display area to remove the control.

When the user interface shown in FIG. 54 is displayed, if the user presses the right button on the remote controller, a deletion confirmation box as shown in FIG. 55 will be displayed, and the deletion confirmation box includes a "OK to delete" control and a "Cancel" control. If the user selects the "Delete" control, the display device is instructed to delete the "Settings" control, and the user interface shown in Figure 56 can be displayed at this time; if the user selects "Cancel", the user interface shown in Figure 54 is returned. In the user interface shown in Figure 56, the "Settings" control disappears, the "Router" control appears, and the focus stays on the "Router" control.

In some embodiments, if there is a space around a certain Widget control that fits its size, the Widget control is extended to the space to fill up the space. Wherein, when the width of the Widget control is the same as the width of the surrounding space, or the height of the Widget control is the same as the height of the surrounding space, it is considered that the Widget control is adapted to the size of the surrounding space. Empty slots are grids not occupied by Widget controls.

As shown in Figure 57, the figure shows the change of vacancies, rather than the same actual interface for the three states. When a 1×1 vacancy is generated on the right side of the Widget control, the Widget control can extend one grid to the right, thereby changing from display state 11 to display state 12 . When a 1×1 vacancy is generated on the lower side of the Widget control, the Widget control can extend downward by one grid, thereby changing from display state 11 to display state 13 . It should be understood that display state 11 is the state when the Widget control occupies 1×1 grid, display state 12 is the state when the Widget control occupies 1×2 grid, and display state 13 is the state when the Widget control occupies 2×1 grid. The state of the grid.

As shown in Figure 58, the figure shows the change of vacancies, rather than the same actual interface for the three states. When a 1×1 vacancy is generated on the right side of the Widget control in FIG. 58 , the Widget control can extend one grid to the right, thereby changing from display state 21 to display state 22 . When 1×2 vacancies are generated on the lower side of the Widget control, the Widget control can extend downwards by one grid as a whole, thereby changing from the display state 21 to the display state 23 . It should be understood that the display state 21 is the state when the Widget control occupies 1×2 grids, the display state 22 is the state when the Widget control occupies 1×3 grids, and the display state 13 is the state when the Widget control occupies 2×2 grids. The state of the grid.

As shown in Figure 59, the figure shows the change of vacancies, rather than the same actual interface in the three states. When a 2×1 vacancy is generated on the right side of the Widget control in FIG. 59 , the Widget control can extend one grid to the right, thereby changing from display state 31 to display state 32 . When 1×2 vacancies are generated on the lower side of the Widget control, the Widget control can extend downwards by one grid as a whole, thereby changing from the display state 31 to the display state 33 . It should be understood that the display state 31 is the state when the Widget control occupies 2×2 grids, the display state 32 is the state when the Widget control occupies 2×3 grids, and the display state 33 is the state when the Widget control occupies 3×2 grids. The state of the grid.

In some embodiments, the height of the highest Widget control is used as the height of the row where the Widget control is located. In addition, when there is a blank row between the rows, the lower rows are translated upward as a whole to complement the blank row. Widget controls in each row are aligned to the left.

In some embodiments, after the editing is completed, determine the position of the empty space, and then determine whether there is a control on the left side of it, and if so, determine whether the height of the left control is the same as the height of the empty space, and if they are the same, expand the left side The display area of the control to cover the empty space. If it is different, determine whether there is a control on the right side of it. If it exists, determine whether the height of the control on the right is the same as the height of the empty space. If they are the same, expand the display area of the control on the right to Cover the vacancy, if different, do not fill the vacancy, or execute the judgment logic of other dimensions.

In some embodiments, after the editing is completed, determine the position of the blank, and then determine whether there is a control on its upper side, and if so, determine whether the width of the control on the left is the same as the width of the blank, and if so, expand the left side The display area of the control to cover the empty space. If it is different, determine whether there is a control located below it. If it exists, determine whether the width of the lower control is the same as the width of the empty space. If they are the same, expand the display area of the lower control to Cover the vacancy, if different, do not fill the vacancy, or execute the judgment logic of other dimensions.

In some embodiments, the determination of the left and right directions and the determination of the up and down sides can be combined in any order.

In some embodiments, the Widget controls in each row are arranged from top to bottom and then from left to right.

When the user interface shown in FIG. 54 is displayed, the user can operate the confirmation key on the remote control to drop the "Settings" control. According to the above rules, when the user operates the confirmation key on the remote control to drop the "Settings" control, a user interface as shown in FIG. 60 will be displayed. In Figure 60, a grid of slots is generated to the left of the Settings control. The "Router" control moves to the next row and is aligned to the left with two empty grids to its left. When Figure 60 is displayed, the user can operate the return key on the remote controller to exit the editing state. According to the above rules, when the user operates the return key on the remote controller, the user interface shown in FIG. 61 will be displayed. In Figure 61, the "Settings" control is extended by one grid to the left to fill the vacancy on its left; the "Router" control is extended to the right by 2 grids to fill the vacancy on its right.

When the user interface shown in FIG. 56 is displayed, the user can operate the return key on the remote controller to instruct to exit the editing state, and the user interface shown in FIG. 62 is displayed. In Figure 62, the "Router" control icon is extended one grid to the left to fill the void created by the removal of the "Settings" control.

It should be understood that when the user interface shown in FIG. 56 is displayed, the user can also continue to move the focus position to select the control to be moved or deleted, and pick up the selected control through the confirmation operation, and move the picked up control by operating the arrow keys. For example, the user can pick up the "Router" control with a confirmation action. Then, the user can move the "Router" control one grid to the left with one left-click operation. Alternatively, the user can right-click to move the "Router" control out of the view display area, thereby deleting the "Router" control from the Widget panel.

In some embodiments, for an invalid Widget control, when the Widget panel is displayed, an invalidation mark is displayed on the icon of the invalidated Widget control, so as to remind the user that the Widget control has been invalidated through the invalidation mark. It should be understood that there are various reasons for the failure of the Widget control. For example, if an application program in the system is deleted, the Widget control corresponding to the application program will become invalid.

It can be seen from FIG. 63 that the "Discovery" control icon on the Widget panel displays an invalid mark "?", indicating that the "Discovery" control is an invalid Widget control.

In some embodiments, when the Widget panel is displayed, if the user picks up the invalid Widget control by operation, a Widget invalidation prompt box may be displayed, and the Widget invalidation prompt box includes a control and a cancel control for deleting the invalid Widget, and the user can operate Delete the control, delete the invalid Widget control picked up, or operate the cancel control, and return to the interface before the Widget invalidation prompt box is displayed.

In addition, a plurality of recommended Widget controls may also be displayed in the Widget invalidation prompt box for replacing the picked up invalid Widget controls. The user can select a recommended Widget control in the Widget invalidation prompt box to replace the invalid Widget control picked up by the user with the selected recommended Widget control.

It should be noted that the recommended Widget controls are selected according to the picked up invalid Widget controls, and the size of the recommended Widget controls is the same as that of the picked up invalid Widget controls.

For example, when the user interface shown in Figure 63 is displayed, the user first moves the focus to the "Discovery" control, and then operates the confirmation key on the remote control to pick up the "Discovery" control. Since the "Discovery" control is an invalid Widget control, therefore , when the display device receives a confirmation operation on the "discovery" control, it displays a Widget invalidation prompt box, as shown in FIG. 64 . Referring to FIG. 64 , in the Widget invalidation prompt box, there are displayed a "delete invalid Widget" control, a "cancel" control, and multiple recommended widgets. When the Widget invalidation prompt box is displayed, if the user operates the "Delete Invalid Widget" control, the "Discovery" control is deleted from the Widget panel, and returns to the user interface containing the latest Widget panel. When the Widget invalidation prompt box is displayed, if the user operates the "Cancel" control, the user interface shown in 44 will be returned. When the Widget invalidation prompt box is displayed, if the user selects a recommended Widget, the display device replaces the "Discovery" control in the Widget panel with the recommended Widget selected by the user.

In some embodiments, before displaying the Widget panel, it is detected whether each Widget control is invalid, and if there is an invalid Widget control, the invalid Widget control is deleted from the Widget panel data, so that the displayed Widget panel does not display the invalid Widget controls.
