Taking the smart television as an example, the existing smart television has a digital television function, and a user can watch more television channels and television programs through the smart television.

With the increase of television channels and television programs, in order to facilitate users to know the situation of playing television programs on each channel, the display device displays the television programs by using an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) page. Television programs of 7 days in the future are usually displayed on the EPG page of the intelligent television, and each television program can obtain a focus. When a certain television program is searched, the focus can be moved on different television programs through the up-down keys, the left keys and the right keys on the remote controller so as to check the detailed information of the television programs.

A schematic diagram of the software configuration in the display device 200 according to some embodiments is illustrated in fig. 4. Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the system is divided into four layers, which are an Application (Applications) layer (abbreviated as "Application layer"), an Application Framework (Application Framework) layer (abbreviated as "Framework layer"), an Android runtime (Android runtime) and system library layer (abbreviated as "system runtime library layer"), and a kernel layer from top to bottom.

In some embodiments, at least one application program runs in the application program layer, and the application programs can be Window (Window) programs carried by an operating system, system setting programs, clock programs, camera applications and the like; or may be an application developed by a third party developer such as a hi program, a karaoke program, a magic mirror program, or the like. In specific implementation, the application packages in the application layer are not limited to the above examples, and may actually include other application packages, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

The framework layer provides an Application Programming Interface (API) and a programming framework for the application program of the application layer. The application framework layer includes a number of predefined functions. The application framework layer acts as a processing center that decides to let the applications in the application layer act. The application program can access the resource in the system and obtain the service of the system in execution through the API interface

And, the live television application may display video of the live television signal on the display device 200.

In some embodiments, a video-on-demand application may provide video from different storage sources. Unlike live television applications, video on demand provides a video display from some storage source. For example, the video on demand may come from a server side of the cloud storage, from a local hard disk storage containing stored video programs.

In some embodiments, the media center application may provide various applications for multimedia content playback. For example, a media center, which may be other than live television or video on demand, may provide services that a user may access to various images or audio through a media center application.

In some embodiments, an application center may provide storage for various applications. The application may be a game, an application, or some other application associated with a computer system or other device that may be run on the smart television. The application center may obtain these applications from different sources, store them in local storage, and then be operable on the display device 200.

In some embodiments, when the display device is used to implement a digital television function, an EPG (Electronic Program Guide) page is typically used in the display device to display supported television channels or programs. Because of the large number of television programs that can be supported by a display device, multiple EPG pages are typically utilized for common presentation. For example, tv programs for 7 days in the future are typically displayed on a plurality of EPG pages of the display device, and the corresponding tv programs for a certain time period are displayed in each EPG page. Each television program can obtain a focus, and if a user wants to select a certain television program, the user can control the focus to move to the target television program from left, right, up and down on the current EPG page by triggering a direction key on the remote controller.

Each EPG page is displayed with a program information area, where the program information area is used to display a certain broadcasting time period and a plurality of program information corresponding to the time period, and the program information is UI display data corresponding to the television program, such as CCTV1, CCTV2, CCTV5, and the like. The plurality of pieces of program information displayed in the program information area of a certain EPG page may be regarded as a program list of the corresponding broadcast time period.

Because a large number of tv programs can be supported in the display device, if a user wants to view tv programs after ten hours, before or after several days, the user needs to search for a tv program corresponding to a target playing time period in a program information area of each EPG page, that is, needs to move a focus one by one to page to the target playing time period, and needs to move the focus to a boundary of the program information area of the current EPG page, and then performs a page-turning action to continue searching. It can be seen that a user needs to frequently move a focus and can find a television program in a target playing time period through page turning for many times, and program information displayed in a corresponding program information area needs to be acquired in a code stream every time the focus jumps to a new EPG page, which results in long operation time and poor user experience.

In order for a user to quickly find a television program in a target playing time slot from a plurality of pieces of program information displayed on a plurality of EPG pages, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display device, including: the display, the remote controller and the controller can realize rapid page turning. The display is configured to present EPG pages with program information areas displayed, each EPG page having a corresponding broadcast time period and a number of program information displayed on the program information area.

In some embodiments, the display time length corresponding to the broadcast time period of each EPG page may be set to 2 hours, or may be set to other values according to the actual application, and is not particularly limited. For example, the broadcasting time period is 8: 00-10: 00, and the displayed time values are 8:00 and 9:00, which represent the starting time of two time lengths corresponding to 8: 00-10: 00 (excluding 10:00), that is, the starting time 8:00 represents the time length of 8: 00-9: 00 (excluding 9:00), and the starting time 9:00 represents the time length of 9: 00-10: 00 (excluding 10: 00); the program information is information of television programs which need to be broadcast at 8: 00-10: 00 (excluding 10: 00).

The remote controller is provided with direction keys comprising a left key, a right key, an up key, a down key and a confirm key, wherein the direction keys are used for indicating the moving direction of the focus when moving between different program information on the EPG page, such as moving left, right, up and down. If the direction key moves the focus to the program information of the program information area boundary, the direction key is triggered again, and then the page turning of the EPG page can be realized. When the left key and the right key are triggered, the page turning is realized leftwards or rightwards, the channel is unchanged, and the time is changed; when the up and down keys are triggered, the page is turned upwards or downwards, the time is unchanged, and the channel is changed.

A display schematic of an EPG page according to some embodiments is illustrated in fig. 6. Referring to fig. 6, for example, if the broadcast time period of a certain EPG page is program information of two hours from 10 o 'clock to 11 o' clock, the current focus is located on the rightmost program information of 6 channels (TS [ DVB://233a.6 ]). If the focus is located at the rightmost side, triggering a right key of a direction key on the remote controller again, triggering a right page turning action, wherein the current broadcasting time period is 10: 00-12: 00 (excluding 12:00), the next broadcasting time period displayed after page turning is 12: 00-14: 00 (excluding 14:00), and displaying program information corresponding to 12: 00-14: 00 (excluding 14:00) on a new EPG page. When the page is turned leftwards, the left key of the direction key of the remote controller is triggered, so that the focus moves to the leftmost side, the left page turning action is triggered by triggering the left key again, and the program information corresponding to 8: 00-10: 00 (excluding 10:00) is displayed on the new EPG page.

The controller is connected with the display and the remote controller, and when the page turning method of the EPG page is realized, the controller can realize rapid page turning through the time length of triggering the direction keys, namely the controller controls the focus to rapidly move on each EPG page according to a long-press focus moving instruction generated by continuously triggering any direction key on the remote controller, so that rapid page turning action is realized. When the fast page turning action is realized, the program information is not displayed in the program information area of the newly-skipped EPG page, but only the corresponding broadcasting time period is displayed, so that the display time of the new EPG page is shortened, the user operation efficiency is improved, and the user experience is increased.

FIG. 7 is a flow diagram illustrating a method of turning pages of an EPG page, according to some embodiments; a data flow diagram of a page turning method for an EPG page according to some embodiments is illustrated in fig. 8. The data flow diagram shown in fig. 8 is taken as an example of triggering the right key to perform the fast page turning action, and the data flow diagram for triggering the left key to perform the fast page turning action is the same as that for triggering the right key. Referring to fig. 7 and 8, when the method for turning the EPG page is implemented to realize fast turning of the EPG page, a controller is configured to perform the following steps:

and S1, receiving a long-press focus moving instruction generated when the direction key of the remote controller is continuously triggered, wherein the long-press focus moving instruction is used for indicating the continuous movement of the focus on a plurality of pieces of program information displayed in each EPG page.

When a user triggers a direction key of a remote controller, two trigger modes of long pressing and short pressing exist. The short press trigger mode means that the press is immediately lifted once, and the press time is shorter than 0.1s (or other values, which can be set by self). When the direction key is pressed for a short time, the focus can be controlled to move once, namely, the focus is moved from one program information to the adjacent program information. For example, if the right key is pressed once, the control focus moves from the current program information to the adjacent other program information from the right; if the left key is pressed once, the control focus is moved to the left from the current program information to the adjacent other program information.

The long press trigger mode refers to continuous trigger, and the duration exceeds 0.1s (or other values, can be set by self). When the direction key is pressed for a long time, the focus can be controlled to move continuously, namely, the focus is moved from one program information to a program information far away from the focus. For example, if the right key is pressed for a long time, the focus is controlled to continuously move to the right from the program information where the focus is located at present until the focus stops moving after the right key is pressed for a long time and lifted. If the focus moves to the rightmost side of the current EPG page in the continuous moving process, performing page turning once, wherein the focus is positioned at the leftmost side of the new EPG page, then continuously moving to the right, moving the focus to the rightmost side of the new EPG page, performing page turning for the second time, and the like until the right key is lifted. After the right key is lifted, the focus is positioned on the program information moved when the right key is lifted.

And if the left key is pressed for a long time, controlling the focus to continuously move leftwards from the current program information until the focus stops moving after the left key is pressed for a long time and lifted. If the focus moves to the leftmost side of the current EPG page in the continuous moving process, performing page turning once, wherein the focus is located at the leftmost side of the new EPG page, then continuing to move leftwards, moving the focus to the leftmost side of the new EPG page, performing page turning for the second time, and so on until the left key is lifted. After the left key is lifted, the focus is positioned on the program information moved when the left key is lifted.

The implementation process of long pressing the up key and the long pressing the down key can refer to the implementation process of long pressing the left key and the long pressing the right key, the moving direction of the focus is the same as the direction indicated by the triggered direction key, and the description is omitted here.

When a user triggers a direction key of a remote controller, firstly judging whether a focus moving instruction generated by triggering the direction key is a short-press focus moving instruction or a long-press focus moving instruction, wherein the judging method can be based on the duration of the time for triggering the direction key, and if the duration is shorter than 0.1s, the short-press trigger mode is a short-press focus moving instruction corresponding to the short-press focus moving instruction; if the time exceeds 0.1s, the long press trigger mode is adopted, and the long press focus moving instruction is corresponded.

And S2, responding to the long-press focus moving instruction, and receiving the current page turning times triggered when the focus is continuously moved and the times of key pressing generated when the direction key is continuously triggered.

The user triggers the direction key of the remote controller to generate a long-press focus moving instruction, and the controller continuously receives the instruction and controls the focus to continuously move. After receiving the long-press focus moving instruction, the controller can acquire the current page turning times triggered when the focus is continuously moved and the times of keys generated when the direction keys are continuously triggered in the process of continuously receiving the long-press focus moving instruction. The number of times of the key-press can be determined according to the key value (key) set on the direction key, if a certain direction key is pressed down, the controller receives the key value (key down) pressed once, if the key is lifted up, the controller receives the key value (key up) lifted up; if the key is continuously pressed, the pressed key value is continuously received. At this time, the number of times the controller receives the key is the number of times the controller receives the key down value during the process of continuously pressing a certain direction key.

The current page turning times are used for representing the number of EPG pages passed by the focus when the focus continuously moves in a long-time pressing state, namely the total times of triggering page turning actions. When determining the current page turning times, the current page turning times can be determined according to the times of performing the page turning actions when the focus moves on the program information of each EPG page.

In some embodiments, the controller, in executing the step of acquiring the current page turning number triggered when the focus is continuously moved in response to the long-press focus moving instruction, is further configured to execute the following steps:

and step 21, responding to the long-press focus moving instruction, and indicating that the focus moves on each program information on the current EPG page.

And step 22, after the focus is moved to the program information corresponding to the program information area boundary on the current EPG page, skipping to display the next EPG page by the current EPG page, and executing a page turning action.

And step 23, accumulating the current page turning times of the page turning action triggered when the focus moves on each EPG page.

The controller responds to the long-press focus moving instruction, namely, the focus can be controlled to move on the current program information on the current EPG page. The program information on each EPG page is arranged in rows and columns, the focus can move left, right, up and down on the program information listed in the program information area, and the focus can trigger page turning action only when reaching the leftmost side, the rightmost side, the uppermost side or the lowermost side of the program information area.

Therefore, the effective long-press focus moving instruction can be realized by triggering a right key, a left key, an upper key or a lower key, so that the focus can be moved on the program information on the same row or the same column to realize the page turning action.

In some embodiments, taking triggering the left key or the right key as an example, if the user continuously triggers the right key to generate the long-press focus moving instruction, that is, the controller continuously receives the pressed key value of the right key, the focus is controlled to move to the right on each program information on the current EPG page. When the focus moves to the program information area boundary on the current EPG page, namely moves to the program information on the rightmost side, the press key value is received again, so that the focus skips from the current EPG page to display the next EPG page, and one-time page turning action is realized. And then the focus is positioned on the program information positioned at the leftmost side of the next EPG page, if the pressed key value is continuously received, the focus is moved from the leftmost side to the rightmost side, and a second page turning action is executed. The focus is controlled to move according to the process cycle, so that the times of executing the page turning actions can be accumulated, namely the current page turning times of triggering the page turning actions when the focus moves on each EPG page. Here, the next EPG page to which the long-press right key triggers the focus to jump is the page corresponding to the broadcast time period after the broadcast time period of the current EPG page.

And if the user continuously triggers the left key to generate a long-press focus moving instruction, namely the controller continuously receives a press key value of the left key, controlling the focus to move leftwards on each program information on the current EPG page. When the focus moves to the program information area boundary on the current EPG page, namely moves to the leftmost program information, the pressed key value is received again, so that the focus skips from the current EPG page to display the next EPG page, and one-time page turning action is realized. And then, the focus is positioned on the program information positioned at the leftmost side of the next EPG page, and if the pressed key value is continuously received, the second page turning action is executed. The focus is controlled to move according to the process cycle, so that the times of executing the page turning actions can be accumulated, namely the current page turning times of triggering the page turning actions when the focus moves on each EPG page. Here, the next EPG page to which the long-press left key triggers the focus to jump is the corresponding page whose broadcast time period is before the broadcast time period of the current EPG page.

And S3, if the current page turning times are larger than the preset uniform page turning times threshold, obtaining a corresponding page turning speed decision value when the rapid page turning action is realized, wherein the page turning speed decision value is used for representing the times of receiving the keys when the page turning action is executed once.

In order to prevent the page turning from being too fast at the starting stage of triggering the fast page turning, which is not beneficial for the user to accurately locate the page specified by the user, in some embodiments, a preset threshold value of the uniform page turning times is set, so that the fast page turning action is executed after the normal speed page turning action is executed for several times, and thus the page turning speed at the starting stage of page turning is slow, and the page turning speed is gradually increased along with the increase of the key pressing time.

In order to accurately determine when to execute the rapid page turning action, the current page turning times is compared with a preset threshold value of allowed page turning times, and the times corresponding to the preset threshold value of allowed page turning times are used for representing the times of executing the page turning action according to the normal speed. In some embodiments, the preset threshold of the number of allowed page turning times may be set to two times, that is, after performing two normal speed page turning actions, a fast page turning action is performed from the third page.

The preset threshold value of the allowed page turning times is set so as to accurately determine the intention of the user, namely whether the user presses the direction key for a long time to quickly move the focus or to quickly turn the page. Therefore, when the direction key is pressed for a long time, the focus jumps to the second page from the first page, and when the direction key jumps to the third page from the second page, the fast page turning is not triggered immediately, but two page turning actions with normal speed are executed, and the user can be considered to want to fast page when the focus jumps to the third page.

And when the current page turning times are smaller than a preset uniform-speed page turning time threshold, page turning is carried out according to the normal page turning speed, and the program information of the current focus is acquired and displayed after each page is turned.

And when the current page turning times are larger than the preset uniform-speed page turning times threshold, starting to execute a rapid page turning action, and at the moment, not executing the process of obtaining and displaying the program information of the current focus by turning one page any more. When the fast page turning action is performed, a corresponding page turning speed decision value is needed when the fast page turning action is realized, and the page turning speed decision value is used for representing the number of times of receiving the keys when the page turning action is performed once. For example, every time the controller receives M times of key depression, the number of times of key depression is M, that is, a page turning action is performed. The page turning speed decision value is utilized to execute fast page turning, so that the aim of gradually increasing the page turning speed along with the increase of the key time can be fulfilled.

The page turning speed decision value is used for deciding the size of the page turning speed, and the larger the page turning speed decision value is, the smaller the page turning speed is. For example, when the page turning speed decision value is 4, the page turning operation is executed once only after 4 times of key receiving; when the page turning speed is determined to be 3, the page turning operation is performed only after the number of times of receiving the 3-time key is received. It can be seen that the page turning speed corresponding to the page turning speed determination value of 4 is less than the page turning speed corresponding to the page turning speed determination value of 3.

In the initial stage of starting the rapid page turning, the page turning speed is slow, namely the page turning speed decision value is large, so that if the broadcasting time period of the current EPG page which a user wants to position is adjacent to the EPG page with the target broadcasting time, the slow page turning is beneficial to the positioning accuracy of the user; if the user presses the key for a long time, the user wants to locate the EPG page far away from the current broadcasting time period, and the page turning speed is gradually increased.

And S4, based on the number of currently received keys and the page turning speed decision value, performing a fast page turning action on each EPG page, and displaying a corresponding broadcasting time period on the displayed EPG page after the fast page turning action is performed.

After the page turning speed decision value is obtained, a rapid page turning action can be executed on each EPG page according to the number of times of currently received keys. Because the page turning speed decision value corresponds to the number of times of receiving the keys required for executing one page turning action, when the number of times of currently receiving the keys received by the controller is the same as the number of times of receiving the keys required corresponding to the page turning speed decision value, or the number of times of currently receiving the keys can be divided into the number of times of receiving the keys required corresponding to the page turning speed decision value, the fast page turning action can be executed.

FIG. 9 is a flow diagram illustrating a method of performing a fast page flip action according to some embodiments; a data flow diagram for performing a fast page flip action in accordance with some embodiments is illustrated in fig. 10. The data flow diagram of fig. 10 is an example of a fast page turn by triggering the right button. In some embodiments, referring to fig. 9 and 10, in determining whether the number of keys received by the controller is the same as the number of required received keys corresponding to the page turning speed decision value, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps in performing a fast page turning action for each EPG page based on the number of currently received keys and the page turning speed decision value:

and S41, calculating the remainder of the number of times of currently received keys and the page turning speed decision value.

And S42, when the remainder generated by the currently received key number and the page turning speed decision value is 0, performing a fast page turning action on each EPG page.

The longer the time of continuously triggering the direction key is, the greater the number of times the controller receives the currently received key is, and the number of times the controller receives the key once is, namely, the number of times the controller receives the currently received key and the remainder of the page turning speed decision value are calculated, namely, the remainder is taken for the page turning speed decision value according to the number of times the key is received currently.

For example, if the number of times of currently receiving the key is 6 and the page turning speed is determined to be 4, then take the remainder 6 ÷ 4 as 1 … … 2 and the remainder as 2; if the number of times of key reception is 8 and the page turning speed is determined to be 4, the remainder 8/4 is 2 … … 0, and the remainder is 0.

If the remainder is 0, it can be determined that the number of currently received keys received by the controller is the same as the number of required received keys corresponding to the page turning speed decision value, or the number of currently received keys can be divided by the number of required received keys corresponding to the page turning speed decision value, and a fast page turning action can be performed on each EPG page. The EPG page executing the fast page turning action does not include an EPG page corresponding to page turning at a normal speed, that is, does not include an EPG page executing the page turning action according to a number corresponding to a preset allowed page turning number threshold.

In order to shorten the presentation time of a new EPG page and improve the user operation efficiency when performing fast page turning, the program information area of the newly skipped EPG page no longer presents program information but only displays a corresponding broadcast time period, and for this reason, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps when performing a fast page turning action for each EPG page:

and step 421, skipping to display the next EPG page according to the page turning speed decision value from the current EPG page displayed in the display.

And step 422, acquiring the next broadcasting time period corresponding to the next EPG page.

And step 423, displaying the next broadcasting time period in the program information area corresponding to the next EPG page.

And when the number of times that the controller receives the keys currently and the remainder generated by the page turning speed decision value are 0, executing a quick page turning action according to the page turning speed corresponding to the page turning speed decision value, namely skipping to display the next EPG page from the current EPG page displayed in the display. If the user continuously triggers the right key, namely, the fast page turning action is executed rightwards, and the page turning speed decision value is 4, the situation shows that the controller executes one page turning of the EPG page every time the controller receives 4 times of key values pressed by the right key, and if the current focus is located on the third EPG page and the controller receives 4 times of key values pressed by the right key, the third EPG page is turned to the fourth EPG page. And if the controller receives the right key pressing key value for 4 times again, jumping from the fourth EPG page to the fifth EPG page. Here, the next EPG page to which the long-press right key triggers the focus to jump is the page corresponding to the broadcast time period after the broadcast time period of the current EPG page.

If the user continuously triggers the left key, namely, the fast page turning action is executed leftwards, and the page turning speed decision value is 4, the controller executes one page turning of the EPG page every time the controller receives 4 times of key values pressed by the left key, and if the current focus is located on the third EPG page and the controller receives 4 times of key values pressed by the left key, the third EPG page is turned to the second EPG page. And if the controller receives the left key pressing key value for 4 times again, jumping from the second EPG page to the first EPG page. Here, the next EPG page to which the long-press left key triggers the focus to jump is the corresponding page whose broadcast time period is before the broadcast time period of the current EPG page.

In the process of performing the fast page turning, the program information of the currently displayed EPG page is not acquired, but only the broadcast time period of the currently displayed EPG page is refreshed.

A display schematic of an EPG page refreshing only playout time periods in accordance with some embodiments is illustrated in fig. 11. Referring to fig. 11, if a right key is pressed for a long time to trigger a right fast page turning action, and the next EPG page is the fourth EPG page, the playing time period corresponding to the fourth EPG page, such as 8:00 to 10:00 (the starting time of display is 8:00 and 9:00), is obtained, and the time of the white dotted frame shown in fig. 11 is displayed in the program information area corresponding to the fourth EPG page, so that the purpose of only refreshing the playing time period is achieved.

Upon determining that fast paging is to be performed, a presentation time period of each newly skipped EPG page may be determined according to the initial display presentation time period and the number of times of paging, and thus, in some embodiments, the controller, upon performing acquiring a next presentation time period corresponding to a next EPG page, is further configured to perform the steps of:

step 4221, obtaining the current broadcasting time period displayed on the program information area of the current EPG page.

4222, calculating the next broadcast time period corresponding to the next EPG page based on the current broadcast time period and the corresponding new page turning times after the fast page turning action is performed.

And acquiring a current broadcasting time period corresponding to the current EPG page for starting to execute the rapid page turning action, wherein the display time length corresponding to the broadcasting time period can be set to be 2 hours. That is, if the right key is pressed for a long time to trigger the right fast page turning action, the broadcasting time period is delayed backward for two hours every time the page turning action is executed; if the left key is pressed for a long time to trigger the rapid page turning action to the left, the playing time period is two hours ahead every time the page turning action is executed.

For example, if the current broadcast time period is 8: 00-10: 00, the number of new page turning times corresponding to the right-hand execution of the fast page turning motion is 2, the backward delay is four hours, and the next broadcast time period corresponding to the next EPG page is 12: 00-14: 00. If the current broadcasting time period is 8: 00-10: 00, the number of new page turning times corresponding to the rapid page turning action executed leftwards is 1, the time is advanced by two hours, and the next broadcasting time period corresponding to the next EPG page is 6: 00-8: 00. None of the time ranges mentioned above include the right values.

Therefore, the display device provided by the embodiment of the invention counts the number of currently received keys and the current page turning number in the process when the direction key is continuously triggered, and starts to execute the rapid page turning action when the current page turning number reaches the number corresponding to the preset allowed page turning number threshold. And acquiring a page turning speed decision value, and when the remainder of the currently received key number and the page turning speed decision value is 0, quickly turning the page, namely, skipping to display the next EPG page from the current EPG page. When the page is turned rapidly, the program information area of the newly-turned EPG page does not show the program information any more, but only displays the corresponding broadcasting time period, so that the showing time of the new EPG page is shortened, the user operation efficiency is improved, and the user experience is improved.

Since the page turning speed decision value is utilized to realize the rapid page turning action, the page turning speed decision value needs to be adjusted to realize the purpose of gradually increasing the page turning speed along with the increase of the key pressing time.

A flow diagram of a method of adjusting a page turn speed decision value according to some embodiments is illustrated in fig. 12. Referring to fig. 10 and 12, in some embodiments, the display device is further configured, on the basis of the page turning method of the EPG page executed by the display device provided in the foregoing embodiments, when the controller adjusts the page turning speed decision value, to execute the following steps:

and S51, acquiring the maximum page turning times generated when the rapid page turning action is executed according to the page turning speed decision value.

And S52, if the corresponding new page turning times after each EPG page performs the rapid page turning action is larger than the maximum page turning times, reducing the size of the page turning speed decision value to obtain a new page turning speed decision value.

And S53, according to the new page turning speed decision value, performing the fast page turning action on the rest EPG pages in each EPG page after the fast page turning action is performed according to the page turning speed decision value.

When the fast page turning action is executed, a plurality of different page turning speed decision values can be set. The page turning speed decision value is inversely proportional to the page turning speed, the fast page turning can be carried out according to the initial page turning speed decision value in the initial stage of fast page turning, after the maximum array is set, the second page turning speed decision value can be called to continue fast page turning, and the second page turning speed decision value is smaller than the initial page turning speed decision value, so that the page turning speed is gradually increased.

The maximum array is set to be the maximum page turning times capable of executing the page turning action under the same page turning speed decision value. The maximum page turning times corresponding to each page turning speed decision value are different and gradually increase. For example, an initial page turning speed determination value may be set to 4 (the number of times of receiving four keys for each page turning operation), and 5 page turning operations may be performed at the page turning speed determination value; the second page turning speed determination value is 3 (the number of times of receiving three keys for each page turning operation), and 6 page turning operations can be performed at the page turning speed determination value.

Therefore, in order to accurately determine the next page turning speed determination value, the maximum page turning times generated by the page turning speed determination value used when the fast page turning is performed can be obtained first. When the fast page turning action is carried out, the times of the page turning actions executed by each EPG page executing the fast page turning action are accumulated, under the current page turning speed decision value, the accumulated times of the page turning actions after the fast page turning action is executed are the new times of the page turning, namely the new times of the page turning only correspond to the current page turning speed decision value adopted when the fast page turning action is executed at present, and the new times of the page turning corresponding to different page turning speed decision values are accumulated again.

And comparing the new page turning times with the maximum page turning times, wherein if the corresponding new page turning times after each EPG page executes the rapid page turning action are larger than the maximum page turning times, the page turning times generated according to the current page turning speed decision value reach the maximum value, at the moment, the page turning speed can be increased, namely, the page turning speed decision value is reduced, and the new page turning speed decision value is determined.

For example, if the currently adopted page turning speed decision value for performing fast page turning is 4, 5 page turning actions can be performed under the page turning speed decision value, the new page turning times are compared with 5, if the new page turning times are greater than 5, the page turning actions are completed 5 times when fast page turning is performed according to the speed of receiving four times of pressing key values to perform one page turning action, the page turning speed can be increased, the page turning speed decision value is reduced, and the determined new page turning speed is 3.

The initial level value of the page turning speed decision value is inversely proportional to the page turning speed, the numerical value of the page turning speed decision value decreases progressively with the increase of the page turning times, and can be set to decrease by 1 every time, so that the number of the received keys is less when the page turning action is executed every time, and the purpose of improving the page turning speed is achieved.

After the new page turning speed decision value is determined, the fast page turning action can be executed on the rest EPG pages in each EPG page after the fast page turning action is executed according to the previous page turning speed decision value according to the new page turning speed decision value. For example, if 5 page turning actions are executed when the page turning speed decision value is 4, the page displayed in the display skips to display an eighth EPG page from the third EPG page; and then reducing the page turning speed decision value, continuing to perform fast page turning when the new page turning speed decision value is 3, starting with the current page adopting the new page turning speed decision value as a ninth EPG page, and after 6 times of page turning actions are performed, skipping the page displayed in the display from the ninth EPG page to display a fifteenth EPG page.

It can be seen that, under the same page turning speed decision value, if the accumulated new page turning times exceeds the maximum page turning times of the page turning speed decision value, the size of the page turning speed decision value is adjusted, that is, the numerical value corresponding to the page turning speed decision value level is reduced by 1, so as to adjust the page turning speed. In some embodiments, the level of the page turning speed determination value may be set to 4, 3, 2, 1, and the maximum page turning speed may be reached when the page turning speed determination value is 1.

In the process of performing fast page turning on each EPG page, the page turning speed is slow at the initial stage of starting the fast page turning, so that if the broadcasting time period of the current EPG page which the user wants to locate is adjacent to the EPG page with the target broadcasting time, the slow page turning is beneficial to the positioning accuracy of the user; if the user presses the key for a long time, the user wants to locate the EPG page far away from the current broadcasting time period, and the page turning speed is gradually increased. Therefore, along with the extension of the time of continuously triggering the direction key, when the maximum page turning times supported under the same page turning speed decision value is met, the page turning speed decision value is reduced, so that the page turning speed is adjusted, and the aim of gradually increasing the page turning speed is fulfilled.

The user continuously triggers the direction key, so that the rapid page turning action can be started, and the display broadcasting time period is refreshed in real time in the page information area of the currently displayed EPG page in the display. And the termination of the rapid page turning is to judge whether the user performs the lifting action when triggering the direction key, and when the user performs the lifting action, the long-press focus moving instruction disappears to generate the lifting instruction.

In some embodiments, after the user triggers the direction key to perform the lift-off action, the controller is further configured to:

and step 61, judging whether a lifting instruction corresponding to the triggering stopping direction key is received.

And step 62, if a lifting instruction is received, stopping the rapid page turning action, and acquiring program information corresponding to the currently displayed EPG page in the display.

And step 63, displaying the program information in the program information area of the currently displayed EPG page.

The controller monitors whether a lifting instruction is generated or not in real time, if the controller receives the lifting instruction, the fact that the user currently finds the broadcasting time period which the user wants to check is indicated, the rapid page turning action is immediately stopped, and the broadcasting time period displayed in the current display is the broadcasting time period which the user wants to check.

And then, the controller calls a middleware interface, calls the program information of the EPG page corresponding to the broadcasting time period, and displays the program information in the program information area of the currently displayed EPG page.

Therefore, in the process of performing fast page turning, the display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention obtains the program information of the corresponding EPG page in real time, but obtains the program information corresponding to the currently displayed EPG page in the display only after stopping the fast page turning action, and performs the step of obtaining the program information only after completing the fast page turning action, so that the display time of a new EPG page can be shortened, the user operation efficiency can be improved, and the user experience can be improved.

As can be seen from the foregoing technical solutions, the display device provided in the embodiments of the present invention receives a long-press focus movement instruction generated when a direction key of a remote controller is continuously triggered, and obtains the current page-turning times triggered when the focus is continuously moved and the times of pressing keys generated when the direction key is continuously triggered; and if the current page turning times are larger than a preset uniform-speed page turning time threshold value, acquiring a corresponding page turning speed decision value when the rapid page turning action is realized, executing the rapid page turning action on each EPG page based on the current received times of the keys and the page turning speed decision value, and displaying a corresponding broadcasting time period on the displayed EPG page after the rapid page turning action is executed. Therefore, the display device provided by the embodiment of the invention executes the rapid page turning action when the current page turning times meet the preset uniform-speed page turning time threshold; when the page is turned rapidly, the program information area of the newly-skipped EPG page does not show the program information any more, but only displays the corresponding broadcasting time period, so that the showing time of the new EPG page is shortened, the user operation efficiency is improved, and the user experience is improved.

It should be noted that, in the foregoing embodiments, the implementation process of implementing fast page turning is described only by taking the continuous triggering of the right key as an example, and the implementation process of implementing fast page turning by continuously triggering the left key, the up key, and the down key is the same as that when the right key is triggered, and details are not described here again.
