When upgrading to using assembly, system monitors the lastest imformation of all application components automatically through the Internet, and is as shown in Figure 3; If there is application component to need to upgrade, just this lastest imformation is presented on the user interface, the user can show the lastest imformation application component through exciting; Application component is directly upgraded on user interface; After upgrading was accomplished, the user excited this application component once more, just can get into application component and carry out the assembly function use.Like this, the user need not get into the upgrade function menu and click and check that whether application component needs upgrading, just can directly see the application component that needs upgrading.In addition, if the quantity of application component is more, the user need check one by one in the upgrade function menu whether application component needs upgrading; Waste time and energy; User experience is lower, in the present invention, because upgrade tip is based on each independently application component; The user understands the upgrade information that each application component is known in timely, clear and definite knowing, need not arrive in the upgrade function menu and browse upgrade information.
The user can upgrade to using assembly when needs use certain application component; For the upgrade tip of temporary transient obsolete application component (being the prompting of lastest imformation mentioned above), the user can select this application component of upgrading, and also can select temporarily not upgrade this application component.Normally to the whole modes of upgrading of all application components, upgrading mode of the present invention can be avoided a large amount of invalid updating operation of user, saves time in the upgrading of application component in the prior art; Simultaneously, customer upgrade need not get in the special-purpose upgrading menu, but promptly scalable in normal use user interface process, the stand-by period is short, and user experience is good.
Alternatively, can be on display screen with the icon display of application component, and the iconic marker of application component that will satisfy update condition is for upgrading.
And, in display icon, can icon that use assembly be divided into groups according to the predetermined packet of packets strategy, be positioned at the icon of different grouping according to the diverse location demonstration of group result on display screen of icon.Here, it is one of following that the predetermined packet of packets strategy can comprise: user preferences, the type of application component also can be divided into groups and shows that concrete mode this paper enumerates no longer one by one according to user's configuration.
Grouping incident as shown in Figure 4, that the present invention can provide through system excites the dynamic formation component of different application components to show; Application packet 1, application packet 2 ..., application packet n; At this moment, on user interface, will show application packet assembly icon according to selected grouping.In concrete implementation procedure, can divide into groups to using assembly according to the type of application component, for example, the application component of the application component of video type, the application component of audio types, picture/mb-type, the application component of tool types; Also can divide into groups to using assembly (frequency that for example uses according to the user or user's identity) according to user's hobby; For example hobby grouping 1, hobby grouping 2 and hobby divide into groups 3; Particularly; Can be that application component between 20 to 30 is classified as hobby and divides into groups 1 with user's access times, just user's access times be that application component between 10 to 20 is classified as hobby and divides into groups 2, and just user's access times are that application component between 0 to 10 is classified as hobby and divides into groups 3.Through application component is carried out packet transaction, can make things convenient for the user in the application component of One's name is legion, to search out fast and hope that the application component that uses also uses, reduce user's operation frequency greatly, reduce the probability of user misoperation.
For example, 50 application components have been installed in the system, the application component of 4 video type has wherein been arranged; Want to watch under one the situation in these 4 application components the user, if system does not divide into groups to using assembly, the user possibly need 50 ability of button to use this application component; If but to the grouping of having used assembly; The user at first selects the grouping of video type, in grouping, selects application component then, under the worst situation; The maximum buttons of user just can use application component 4 times, so just greatly reduce user's operation frequency.
Again for example; 50 application components have been installed in the system; It is that the user often (for example uses that 4 application components are wherein arranged; The number of times that these 4 application component users use is 20 to 30 times), like assembly A, assembly G, assembly M and assembly X, can be set to belong to hobby grouping P by these 4 application components.Want to watch under one the situation in these 4 application components the user, if system does not divide into groups to using assembly, under the worst situation; The each operation of user all need be searched the application that needs use in 50 application; User's number of operations be 50x N time (N representative switch use other 4 application situation), if but to the grouping of having used assembly, the user at first selects to like grouping A; In grouping, select application component then; Under the worst situation, user's number of operations is that 4x just can use application component N time, so just greatly reduces user's operation frequency.
In addition; When carrying out the icon display of application component; Can be according to user's indication, with the icon display of application component (can this mode be called full frame mode) on the Zone Full of display screen, or the subregion of icon display with application component at said display screen on (can this mode be called domain mode).
As shown in Figure 5, equipment (being multimedia equipment) can be provided in the handoff functionality of user interface of user interface and the domain mode of full frame mode, and the user can switch to corresponding user interfaces according to the use habit of oneself like this.The advantage of the user interface of domain mode is that user's focus is easy to clearly, simultaneously, when selecting application component, can appreciate video; The user interface advantage of full frame mode is that the loaded information amount is big, is convenient to the user and checks the icon of whole application components and new situation more.User interface through domain mode and full frame mode are provided is selected, and the user can selectively use according to the demand of oneself, has improved user's experience.
In addition, can the self-defined information that the user selects be presented on the said display screen, wherein, self-defined information comprise following one of at least: mail information, Weather information, temporal information.As shown in Figure 6; In the present invention; When user interface starts; Comprise two parts content: application component information and user profile, application component information comprise information such as the title, icon, focus condition of intrasystem application component, and self-defining user profile can comprise custom system information such as weather, date, mail, peripheral hardware.System can be through the inquiry the Internet, information such as acquisition time, weather, mail, and system can obtain the information of peripheral hardwares such as network, memory device, bluetooth equipment through the port information in the inquiry system, and these information are presented on the user interface.Traditional user interface does not present user profile and gives the user, even perhaps exist, in the process of selecting application component, can not show always yet, causes user profile often when the user need use, can not timely and effectively offer the user fast.In the present invention, adopt user profile and user interface to follow the mode of demonstration, the user after one-touch triggering user interface, can see user profile and application component easily, and user profile is dynamic refresh under any state.
For example, when new mail arrived, the user need not to get into the e-mail applications assembly, can detect the current number of mail of newly receiving through user profile; When user network interrupted, the user need not access arrangement management application assembly, can know the network interrupting information; When the user need check current weather, the user need not to get into the weather application assembly, can know current weather condition.
