Following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention carries out clear, complete Site preparation describes, it is clear that described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, instead of all the embodiments.It is based on Embodiment in the present invention, it is obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts every other Embodiment shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Below by taking display terminal is smart television as an example, the present embodiment is described in detail.
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of smart television.As shown in Figure 1, smart television may include tuner 101, user interface 102, system processor 103, memory 104, EPG generators 105, Video Controller 106 and display screen 107 etc..Tuner 101, it is used to carry out broadcasting channel tune according to the operation of user to user interface 102 and according to the control of system processor 103 It is humorous;Memory 104, for storing include in the digital broadcast signal or analog broadcast signal that are received from tuner 101 attached Add the EPG information extracted in information;EPG generators 105, it may include OSD maker, for according to storing in memory 104 EPG information generates EPG;Display screen 107, for showing through treated the EPG of Video Controller 106.
Specifically, during display TV broadcast program on the display screen 107 of smart television, user is connect by user Mouth 102(Remote controler)The EPG of transmission shows that request signal is input to system processor 103, that is, sent out in response to user EPG display requests, system processor 103 extract EPG information from the broadcast singal that tuner 101 receives so that EPG is generated Device 105 can use image based on the EPG information and OSD maker extracted(OSD)The EPG images that data generate are built EPG, and then include on display screen 107 by EPG user interfaces by Video Controller 106.
Wherein, the EPG information of said extracted is used to indicate the reproduction time table of multiple broadcast programs, it may include broadcast program Title, type, starting playing time and terminate playing time etc..
Fig. 2A is a kind of schematic diagram of EPG user interfaces.As shown in Figure 2 A, vertical direction is channel axis direction, with multirow Form shows different channel;Horizontal direction is time-axis direction, and often each broadcast program is ranked sequentially with reproduction time in row, and The size of the display area of each broadcast program indicates its reproduction time length.Five are shown in Fig. 2A in EPG user interfaces Channel(DC a-DC e), the broadcast program of each channel is ranked sequentially according to program play times is shown as a line.Such as:Figure 2A shows 3:00PM to 5:Broadcast program menu between 00PM, broadcast program a0-a3, DC the b channels of DC a channels it is wide Broadcast the broadcast section of broadcast program d0-d8, DC the e channels of broadcast program c0-c6, DC the d channels of program b0-b5, DC c channels Mesh e0-e7.
When control focus falls into the broadcast program of a certain position, the broadcast program is shown simultaneously in EPG user interfaces Guide(Guide), which may include channel identication, reproduction time and brief introduction of the broadcast program etc..Such as Fig. 2A institutes Show, when control focus is fallen in broadcast program a2, broadcast program a2 is shown in the guide region on the upside of EPG user interfaces The reproduction time 2,9/3 4 of the channel identication DCa of subordinate channel, broadcast program a2:19PM-29/35:19PM and broadcast program The brief introduction of a2.
Wherein, since the starting playing time that broadcast program plays on each channel is different with playing time is terminated, cause For indicate the broadcast program play times section in the EPG on each channel display area it is of different sizes namely above-mentioned each aobvious Show the initial position in region(Corresponding starting playing time)And end position(It is corresponding to terminate playing time)With randomness;Into And make the broadcast program display area dislocation display for occurring in multirow up and down in the EPG.Such as:A0, b0, c0 are indicated in Fig. 2A The end position of the display area of broadcast program play times is misaligned, and then indicates a1, b1, c1 broadcast program play times The initial position of display area is also misaligned.Thus, during control focus moves up and down in the EPG, due to not going together Between the dislocation display of each broadcast program the problem of, after mobile every time, all there may be the offsets on a left and right directions, repeatedly deviate Afterwards, will be far from the focal position of most initial, focus finally can all be moved to page boundary under extreme case.
By taking Fig. 2A as an example, initial focus is fallen on broadcast program a3.It is pressed on a remote controler downwards when receiving user When the instruction of directionkeys, the starting playing time being typically subject on the left of broadcast program a3, control focus is moved to broadcast section Include the starting playing time of broadcast program a3 within the starting playing time and termination playing time of mesh b3, broadcast program b3, As shown in Figure 2 B;When receiving the instruction of downward-direction key on user's remote controler of pressing, on the left of broadcast program b3 It originates subject to playing time, control focus is moved to broadcast program c3, and the starting playing time of broadcast program c3 and termination play Include the starting playing time of broadcast program b3 within moment, as shown in Figure 2 C;It is pressed on a remote controler when receiving user When the instruction of downward-direction key, the starting playing time being subject on the left of broadcast program c3, control focus is moved to broadcast program Include the starting playing time of broadcast program c3 within the starting playing time and termination playing time of d3, broadcast program d3, such as Shown in Fig. 2 D;When receiving the instruction of downward-direction key on user's remote controler of pressing, with rising on the left of broadcast program d3 Subject to beginning playing time, control focus is moved to broadcast program e3, when the starting playing time of broadcast program e3 and termination play Include the starting playing time of broadcast program d3 within quarter, as shown in Figure 2 E.Focus is moved down from broadcast program a3 in this way Path is a3-b3-c3-d3-e3, as shown in fig. 2j so that the broadcast program e3 that final focus is fallen into was fallen into initial focus The offset of broadcast program a3 is larger.
At this point, in the case where focus falls into broadcast program a3, pressed on a remote controler upward if receiving user To key instruction when, the starting playing time being subject on the left of broadcast program e3, control focus is moved to broadcast program d1, broadcasts The starting playing time for including broadcast program e3 within the starting playing time and termination playing time of program d1, such as Fig. 2 F institutes Show;Similarly control focus is moved upward to broadcast program c1 again(As shown in Figure 2 G),b0(As illustrated in figure 2h),a0(Such as Fig. 2 I It is shown).In this way focus from the path that broadcast program e3 is moved up be e3-d1-c1-b0-a0, as shown in fig. 2j so that final The offset of the broadcast program a0 that focus is fallen into and the broadcast program e3 that initial focus is fallen into are larger.
Further, can be obtained from the path that above-mentioned focus moves up and down, the broadcast program a0 that final focus is fallen into most The broadcast program a3 that initial focus is fallen into deposits larger offset in the lateral direction so that the position of final focus can not fall back to a3.It can be seen that when carrying out contrary operation, it just will appear the phenomenon that focus can not be recalled, influence user experience.
In other words, when broadcast program of the control focus between different channel moves up and down, due to different channel Between the dislocation display of each broadcast program, and, need to fall into before being moved according to focus the location of broadcast program of a upper channel come The new position for calculating focus movement in real time, is moved on the broadcast program that new position is shown with controlling focus, may be led in this way Cause to deposit between the broadcast program that the focus broadcast program eventually fallen into and most initial focus fall into the lateral direction it is larger partially It moves, puzzlement is brought for user.
To solve the above problems, inventor proposes:In broadcast program of the control focus between different channel move down When dynamic, according to selected the location of reference broadcast program, to calculate the new position of focus movement, and then focus movement is controlled On the broadcast program shown to new position.In this way broadcast program of the control focus between different channel moved up or under move past Cheng Zhong, with reference to the same reference broadcast program, the broadcast program that selection can be moved to avoid focus generates in the lateral direction Larger offset, can solve the problems, such as in EPG user interfaces that focus moves up and down can not recall, and improve user experience.
As shown in figure 4, embodiments herein provides a kind of control method of the movement of the focus in EPG user interfaces, packet Include following steps:
101, display TV broadcast program on display screen.
102, it receives and shows that the instruction of EPG user interfaces is shown in response to the instruction on television program picture EPG user interfaces.
103, reference broadcast program is judged whether.
104, if it is not, after the broadcast program where current focus is then determined as reference broadcast program, what determination received The instruction of direction movement is used to indicate the direction of focus movement.
105, if so, directly determining that the instruction of the direction received movement is used to indicate the direction of focus movement.
106, it is used to indicate what focus broadcast program play times orientation along EPG user interfaces was moved when receiving When instruction, in response to the instruction, control focus is fallen into current television channel in current broadcasting program, and by the current broadcast section Mesh is updated to reference broadcast program.
107, when receive be used to indicate instruction that focus is moved along EPG user interface mid band orientations when, response The new position that focus moves in destination television channel is determined according to the reference broadcast section destination locations, in the instruction with control Focus is moved to the corresponding target broadcast programs in new position.
In an embodiment of the present invention, channel identication and section residing for broadcast program where focal position can use focus Target is known to indicate.For example, global variable channel Index(Channel identication), saved for preserving broadcast where current focus Channel number belonging to mesh;Global variable program Index(Program identification), for preserving current focus place broadcast program Index value;Global variable lastFocusProgram, for preserving reference broadcast section destination locations, which may include benchmark Channel number belonging to broadcast program and index value.
It should be noted that in EPG user interfaces, the broadcast program where focus highlights, and such as indicates broadcast section Purpose display area is amplified in the original location, and/or the overstriking of display area edge, and/or display area formation shade pattern etc., with It is different from other broadcast programs.
Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 A, in the EPG user interfaces shown on a display screen, coke is used to indicate if received The instruction moved along same a line left and right directions of point then determines target broadcast programs that focus is moved to according to target index value, with And new focal position is set according to the position of target broadcast programs, with the rope when line number is constant, by changing broadcast program Draw the position that value positioning focus is moved to target broadcast programs;And the position of broadcast program where focus after movement is preserved, as Reference broadcast section destination locations.
It is used to indicate the instruction that focus is moved along upper and lower directions of not going together if received, traverses institute in up/down a line There is broadcast program, and according to reference broadcast section destination locations, determines the target broadcast programs that focus is moved in the up/down a line Line number and index value, to which new focal position be arranged.
Wherein, above-mentioned line number channel Index can be up according to focus moving direction(Upwards)Or down(To Under)Automatically -1 or+1, index value program Index can be left according to focus moving direction(To the left)Or right (To the right)Automatically -1 or+1, and then new focal position can be set according to the line number of broadcast program and index value.
Optionally, according to the reference broadcast section destination locations in step 107, determine that focus moves in destination television channel New position, be moved to the corresponding target broadcast programs in new position to control focus, be specifically as follows:
Each broadcast program in destination television channel is traversed, judges the starting playing time of the reference broadcast program and terminate to play Moment(Namely program play times)Within whether include particular moment of a certain broadcast program in destination television channel;In other words Say, judge a certain broadcast program in destination television channel particular moment whether the reference broadcast program starting playing time With termination playing time(Namely program play times)Within;
If the reproduction time of the reference broadcast program includes the particular moment of target broadcast programs, the new position of focus movement is calculated It sets, and controls focus and be moved to the corresponding target broadcast programs in new position.
Here, the particular moment of broadcast program can be preferably the starting playing time of program according to presetting rule, terminate and broadcast Any of corresponding playing time at the half of moment or program play times is put, the reference of the presetting rule is It is moved to ensure focal position meeting in convergence range expected from user, avoids focus movement from causing larger offset, improve User experience.
Specifically, for example being shown shown in Fig. 3 A in the EPG user interfaces of screen display, remote controler is pressed receiving user Before directionkeys instruction, it is first determined whether there are reference broadcast programs.
If not finding out reference broadcast section destination locations from global variable lastFocusProgram, it is determined that be not present Reference broadcast program, then the initial broadcast program where current focus is determined as reference broadcast program.Such as in Fig. 3 A when Front focus station location marker is that line number channel Index are that Dc a, index value a1 namely focus are located at broadcast program a1, then Line number residing for broadcast program where preserving current focus in global variable channel Index is Dc a, global variable The index value of broadcast program where the current focus preserved in program Index is a1.Broadcast program a1 is determined as simultaneously Reference broadcast program, by belonging to reference broadcast program a1 line number Dc a and index value a1 be stored in global variable In lastFocusProgram, as reference broadcast section destination locations.
If finding out the base for preserving line number Dc a and index value a1 in it from global variable lastFocusProgram The position of quasi- broadcast program a1, it is determined that there are reference broadcast program a1.Then start to receive the remote controler direction that user sends Key instructs, to make a response.
In some instances, in the case where focus is fallen on broadcast program a1, when user press a remote controler on to When lower directionkeys, the broadcast program b0-b5 in line number Dc b channels is traversed according to chronological order, according to global variable The line number Dc a and index value a1 residing for reference broadcast program preserved in lastFocusProgram, judges reference broadcast section The program play times of mesh a1 include the particular moment of broadcast program b1(Termination playing time will be such as chosen to be particular moment), then Return to the index value b1 of broadcast program b1.As shown in Figure 3B, then the new station location marker of focus movement changes for line number automatic+1 Become Dc b, index value b1, and then controls focus and be moved on the corresponding broadcast program b1 in new position.Meanwhile it updating global Line number residing for broadcast program where preserving current focus in variable channel Index is Dc b, global variable program The index value of broadcast program where the current focus preserved in Index is b1.
In some embodiments, in the case where focus is fallen on broadcast program b1, when user continues to press primary remote control On device when downward-direction key, the broadcast program c0-c6 in line number Dc c channels is traversed according to chronological order, is become according to the overall situation The line number Dc a and index value a1 residing for reference broadcast program preserved in amount lastFocusProgram, judges reference broadcast The program play times of program a1 include the termination playing time of broadcast program c1, then return to the index value c1 of broadcast program c1. As shown in Figure 3 C, it then the new station location marker of focus movement changes into Dc c, index value c1 for line number automatic+1, and then controls Focus processed is moved on the corresponding broadcast program c1 in new position.Meanwhile it updating in global variable channel Index and preserving currently Line number residing for broadcast program where focus is wide for the current focus place preserved in Dc c, global variable program Index The index value for broadcasting program is c1.
In the case where focus is fallen on broadcast program c1, when user continues to press downward-direction key on remote controler, press The broadcast program d0-d8 in line number Dc d channels is traversed according to chronological order, according to global variable lastFocusProgram Line number Dc a residing for the reference broadcast program of middle preservation and index value a1, when judging that the program of reference broadcast program a1 plays Between include the termination playing time of broadcast program d1 and d2, at this time due to first traversing broadcast program d1, so returning to broadcast section The index value d1 of mesh d1.As shown in Figure 3D, then the new station location marker of focus movement changes into Dc d, rope for line number automatic+1 It is d1 to draw value, and then controls focus and be moved on the corresponding broadcast program d1 in new position.
Then, in the case where focus is fallen on broadcast program d1, when user continues to press downward-direction key on remote controler When, the broadcast program e0-e7 in line number Dc e channels is traversed according to chronological order, according to global variable The line number Dc a and index value a1 residing for reference broadcast program preserved in lastFocusProgram, judges reference broadcast section The program play times of mesh a1 include the termination playing time of broadcast program e3, then return to the index value e3 of broadcast program e3.Such as Shown in Fig. 3 E, then the new station location marker of focus movement changes into Dc e, index value e3 for line number automatic+1, and then control Focus is moved on the corresponding broadcast program e3 in new position.
At this point, in the case where focus is fallen on broadcast program e3, when user presses the directionkeys on s on remote controler, The broadcast program d0-d8 in line number Dc d channels is traversed according to chronological order, according to global variable The line number Dc a and index value a1 residing for reference broadcast program preserved in lastFocusProgram, judges reference broadcast section The program play times of mesh a1 include the termination playing time of broadcast program d1 and d2, at this time due to first traversing broadcast program D1, so returning to the index value d1 of broadcast program d1.As shown in Figure 3D, then focus movement new station location marker be line number from It moves -1 and Dc d, index value d1 is changed by Dc e, and then control focus and be moved on the corresponding broadcast program d1 in new position.
Similarly, when user presses upward direction key on remote controler successively, control focus is moved to broadcast program c1 successively (As shown in Figure 3 C),b1(As shown in Figure 3B),a1(As shown in Figure 3A)On.
As illustrated in Figure 3 F, path when focus moves down is:A1-b1-c1-d1-e3, path when focus moves up For: e3-d1-c1-b1- a1.It can thus be appreciated that, on the one hand, in focus moves up path and focus moves down path, what focus was fallen into Broadcast program is substantially not present offset in the lateral direction with reference broadcast program, to ensure that focal position is meeting user It is moved in expected convergence range;On the other hand, path when focus moves up and down is on the contrary, namely ensure that the mobile route of focus can It traces back, to improve user experience.
In further embodiments, in the case where focus is fallen on broadcast program b1, when user presses a remote controler When upper left direction key, as shown in Figure 3 G, it is Dc b, index that the new station location marker of focus movement, which is line number channel Index, Value automatic -1 and change into b0 namely focus is moved to the corresponding broadcast program b0 in new position, and update global variable The index value of broadcast program where the current focus preserved in program Index is b0.Broadcast program b0 is updated to simultaneously Reference broadcast program, by belonging to reference broadcast program b0 line number Dc b and index value b0 be stored in global variable In lastFocusProgram, as reference broadcast section destination locations.
In the case where focus is fallen on broadcast program b0, when user presses downward-direction key on a remote controler, press The broadcast program c0-c6 in line number Dc c channels is traversed according to chronological order, according to global variable lastFocusProgram Line number Dc b belonging to the reference broadcast program of middle preservation and index value b0, when judging that the program of reference broadcast program b0 plays Between include the termination playing time of broadcast program c0, then return to the index value c0 of broadcast program c0.As shown in figure 3h, then focus Mobile new station location marker is line number automatic+1 and changes into Dc c, index value c0 by Dc b, and then controls focus and be moved to On the new corresponding broadcast program c0 in position.Meanwhile it updating and preserving the broadcast of current focus place in global variable channel Index Line number belonging to program is the index of broadcast program where the current focus preserved in Dc c, global variable program Index Value is c0.
In the case where focus is fallen on broadcast program c0, when user presses downward-direction key on a remote controler, press The broadcast program d0-d8 in line number Dc d channels is traversed according to chronological order, according to global variable lastFocusProgram Line number Dc b belonging to the reference broadcast program of middle preservation and index value b0, when judging that the program of reference broadcast program b0 plays Between include the termination playing time of broadcast program d0, then return to the index value d0 of broadcast program d0.As shown in fig. 31, then focus Mobile new station location marker is line number automatic+1 and changes into Dc d, index value d0 by Dc c, and then controls focus and be moved to On the new corresponding broadcast program d0 in position.Meanwhile it updating and preserving the broadcast of current focus place in global variable channel Index Line number belonging to program is the index of broadcast program where the current focus preserved in Dc d, global variable program Index Value is d0.
... the above process is repeated, so realizes movement of the focus in EPG user interfaces.
It in the examples described above, can be according to reference broadcast section destination locations, by judging that benchmark is wide when focus moves up and down Whether the program play times for broadcasting program include the particular moment of a certain broadcast program in destination television channel, and then determine focus Mobile new position when moving up and down focus every time in this way, is moved with reference to the same reference broadcast section destination locations It is dynamic, focus movement can be avoided to generate larger offset in the lateral direction.And since reference broadcast section destination locations remain unchanged, Therefore focus is moved up or the path of folding process moves up and down and can not recall on the contrary, solving focus in EPG user interfaces The problem of, improve user experience.
It should be understood that in various embodiments of the present invention, size of the sequence numbers of the above procedures is not meant to execute suitable The execution sequence of the priority of sequence, each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, the implementation without coping with the embodiment of the present invention Process constitutes any restriction.
