Abstract

一种可导航的图形用户界面(GUI)(40)显示在TV屏幕(18)上,并且可以由用户操作遥控器来选择显示在TV(12)上的音频-视频内容而进行导航。在可导航的GUI(40)上提供网络状态图标(46),以表示是否可以从TV(12)访问互联网来获得音频-视频内容。

Description

可导航工具栏中的网络状态图标
技术领域
本发明大致涉及可导航工具栏中的网络状态图标,其特别用于网络TV。
背景技术
TV制造商可能希望提供具有内置交互设备(例如,个人视频记录器(PVR)、光盘播放器(诸如蓝光光盘播放器)以及数字视频光盘(DVD)播放器等)的TV,以使得顾客便利地仅需要购买在单个无缝系统中具有交互设备的TV。如本受让人所认识到的,更期望为TV提供一种模块形式的交互设备,使得在能够得到新的和经过升级的交互设备时,可以通过将旧的模块替换为新的模块来升级TV系统,而不需要购买全新的TV系统。
持续不断地意图使电视机与互联网融合,其中已经生产出的系统使得观看者能够方便地使用单个TV框架来从传统TV源和互联网访问内容。以此方式,使用类似的电视技术的用户能够获得的节目的数量可以极大地扩大。
发明内容
如这里所理解的,可以使用根据上述讨论的互联网模块来解决这种融合。因为,尽管一些产品可能具备通过软件升级来远程升级的能力,但是电视机可能不具有这种功能,所以这种方式是有利的。此外,仅通过软件或者新的接口来升级产品存在缺点,例如,不能够适应对于复制保护的工业标准以及不具有限制对于接口的访问的固有(innate)机构,该机构还用来防止未经检验的设备连接到该接口。因此,如这里所认识到的,期望提供一种使TV的所有者将遗漏的功能增加到TV中的手段,同时提供进行这种操作的接口,该接口具有用于确保只有经过验证的装置可以连接的机构。
本发明还理解到完全的解决方案可能需要图形用户界面(GUI),该图形用户界面结合用户关于将什么显示在TV上而所希望作出的各种选择,其中用户以在用户过去已有的GUI经验上建立的容易使用和本能的方式进行选择。
因此,一种方法包括在TV屏幕上提供可导航的图形用户界面(GUI)。GUI可以由使用者操纵遥控器来选择显示在TV上的音频-视频内容而进行导航。网络状态图标设置在可导航的GUI上,以表示是否可以从TV访问广域计算机网络来获得音频-视频内容。
如果期望的话,可以邻近与网络状态相关的图标来显示文字消息。在非限制性实施例中,信息表示以下内容:是否尝试与网络连接;和/或正在互联网上检查更新;和/或正在进行与网络上的资源的认证;和/或正在从互联网获取服务;和/或所获取的服务正在从互联网上取回以将其显示在TV上。
优选地,图标在没有用户交互作用的状态下,根据网络状态动态地更新。因此,图标在没有网络通信存在时可以具有第一外观,并且在网络通信存在时具有第二外观。在一些实施例中,第一外观仅在网络线缆插入TV或者其互联网模块时可见,并且图标在线缆拔出时完全不显示。
在另一个方面,一种计算机处理器可读的有形数字存储介质,其用于:将用户界面显示在TV屏幕上,并允许用户通过操作遥控器来选择界面上的项目。互联网状态图标仅在检测到互联网连接时才显示在界面上。图标表示是否可以通过TV来从互联网获取音频-视频内容。
在另一个方面,TV可以与硬件网络模块连接,并且可以使用高清多媒体接口(HDMI)来与模块通信,来将内容从互联网提供给TV。处理器使得可导航菜单显示在TV上,并且该菜单包括表明模块是否正与互联网通信的图标。
可以通过参照附图最优地理解本发明的细节(其结构和操作),其中相同的附图标记表示相同的部件,并且其中:
附图说明
图1为根据本原理的非限制性系统的示意图;而
图2示出了可以显示在屏幕上的根据本原理的GUI,其示出了网络状态图标。
具体实施方式
首先参照图1,示出了主要由10来表示的系统,其包括具有TV处理器14和有形的数字存储介质16的TV 12,数字存储介质16可以但不限于是磁盘或光盘驱动器、固态装置(诸如,随机存取存储器或只读存储器或闪存)、可移动棒介质或可移动软盘等。如图所示,介质16和处理器14可以和显示器18(例如但不限于高清(HD)矩阵显示器或标清阴极射线管显示器)一起储存在TV壳体中,或者,处理器14和/或介质16可以在TV壳体的外部,即,在机顶盒中或在以下讨论的模块中。
TV 12通常包括无线接收器,例如但不限于用于接收来自具有无线发射器(例如但不限于具有IR发射器24)的手持遥控器22的无线信号的IR接收器20。遥控器22中的处理器26可以根据本领域公知的原理来接收来自可以由用户操作的键盘阵列28的输入,其中可以由用户操作的键盘阵列28使得发送器24将无线信号(包括使显示器18上的光标移动的光标控制信号)发送到TV 12。
在图1中示出的非限制性实施例中,可以使用可以具有模块处理器34的硬件模块32来将来自广域计算机网络(诸如互联网30)的音频-视频内容提供给TV 12,以将其显示在显示器18上。模块32可以使用通信接口36(诸如高清多媒体接口(HDMI))来与TV 12通信,以将内容从互联网提供给TV。模块32可以在通过模块和TV上的相应的连接器建立通信的状态下,实体地与TV 12的壳体连接,或者,模块32可以通过电缆连接到TV 12。在任何情况下,虽然模块32可选择地可以使用例如Wi-Fi来与互联网无线地通信,但是模块32通常可以通过从模块32的壳体延伸到互联网插座的计算机线缆而连接到互联网。
如前所述,可以经由模块32来从互联网30上的一个或多个内容服务器38提供音频-视频内容,以将其显示在TV显示器18上。
图2示出了图形用户界面(GUI)40的非限制性实施例,其中图形用户界面(GUI)40可以在模块32和/或TV 12中产生并且显示在TV显示器18上。图2中示出的实施例口语化地称作是“交叉媒体条”或“XMB”。如所示,多个图标42显示为整齐的水平列表,并且如果期望的话,紧邻至少一些图标42来显示相关的字母数字应用标签。图标42可以是分类图标,该分类图标表明例如“设置”、“互联网”(或者等价地为“我的视频”)、“TV”、“游戏”等。当屏幕光标定位在一个图标42上时,竖直条44示出为表示对于特定图标42的、由于屏幕光标定位在其上而得到聚焦的子菜单选项。用户可以通过操作遥控器22来在GUI 40上选择项目。
如图2所示,当在XMB上选择“互联网”时,网络状态图标46可以显示在竖直条44上。同样,紧邻网络状态图标46,可以显示与网络状态相关的文字消息48。在非限制性实施中,文字消息48可以如所示地表示是否正在尝试与网络连接,并且可以包括任务可能消耗的时间的报告。消息48也可以显示正在网络上检查更新、正在进行与网络的认证、正在从网络获取服务以及所获取的服务正在从网络取回。
根据本原理,状态图标46在没有用户交互作用的状态下,根据网络状态动态地更新。例如,当没有网络通信存在时,图标46可以为红色,反之,在与一个服务器38建立通信时,图标46可以呈现绿色。可以使用其他的外观变化。但是,例如在将模块32连接到互联网插座的网络线缆没有插入时,状态图标46也可以根本不显示在显示器18上。因此,在上述非限制性示例中,状态图标46仅在模块32连接到互联网时出现,并且在与服务器38建立良好的认证通信之前将会呈现红色,并在与服务器38建立良好的认证通信时,图标46转为绿色。
虽然这里示出并详细描述了特定的“可导航工具栏中的网络状态图标”,但是应该理解本发明所包含的主题仅由权利要求限制。
