Optionally, the different view display areas are presented with different priorities, and the display priorities of the view display areas are different among the view display areas with different priorities. If the priority of the system layer is higher than that of the application layer, when the user uses the acquisition selector and picture switching in the application layer, the picture display of the view display area of the system layer is not blocked; and when the size and the position of the view display area of the application layer are changed according to the selection of the user, the size and the position of the view display area of the system layer are not influenced.

The display frames of the same hierarchy can also be presented, at this time, the selector can switch between the first view display area and the second view display area, and when the size and the position of the first view display area are changed, the size and the position of the second view display area can be changed along with the change.

In some embodiments, an "item" may display an image thumbnail. Such as: when the item is a movie or a tv show, the item may be displayed as a poster of the movie or tv show. If the item is music, a poster of a music album may be displayed. Such as an icon for the application when the item is an application, or a screenshot of the content that captures the application when it was most recently executed. If the item is the user access history, the content screenshot in the latest execution process can be displayed. The "item" may be displayed as a video clip. Such as: the item is a video clip dynamic of a trailer of a television or a television show.

Further, the item may represent an interface or a collection of interfaces on which the display device 200 is connected to an external device, or may represent a name of an external device connected to the display device, or the like. Such as: a signal source input interface set, or an HDMI interface, a USB interface, a PC terminal interface, etc.

Bluetooth (Bluetooth) is a wireless technology standard that enables short-range data exchange (using UHF radio waves in the ISM band of 2.4 to 2.485 GHz) between fixed devices, mobile devices, and building personal area networks. The frequency hopping is one of the most commonly used spread spectrum methods, and the operating principle thereof is a communication method in which the carrier frequencies of signals transmitted by both the transmitter and the receiver are discretely changed according to a predetermined rule, that is, the carrier frequencies used in the communication process are randomly hopped under the control of a pseudo-random change code.

Fig. 8 illustrates an implementation scenario of the present application, in which a display device includes a first controller, a first bluetooth connected to the first controller, a second controller, and a second bluetooth connected to the second controller. A plurality of communication interfaces or serial ports exist between the first controller and the second controller, so that the two controllers can communicate with each other.

In the implementation scenario shown in fig. 8, the first controller and the second controller may be the first controller 210 and the second controller 310 shown in fig. 4, the first bluetooth may be the bluetooth communication protocol module 232 connected to the first controller in fig. 4, and the second bluetooth may be the bluetooth communication protocol module 332 connected to the second controller in fig. 4.

In the embodiment of the present application, the bluetooth connected to the controller is also called a bluetooth module or a bluetooth chip.

In the embodiments of the present application, the controller of the display device refers to the first controller and/or the second controller.

According to fig. 5, the first controller may run the application 2912 in the memory 290 and the second controller may run the application 3912 in the memory 390. For convenience of distinction and explanation, the application programs run by the first controller are collectively referred to as a first application, and the application programs run by the second controller are collectively referred to as a second application.

In some embodiments, the first application comprises applications that are third party applications, such as "dance," "violent god," or other gaming applications; the second application comprises a system setup application and other preset applications, wherein the other preset applications are typically display device brand side specific applications, such as social-like applications like "hi see" pre-installed in the haixin television operating system. The system setting application refers to a utility program for enabling a user to modify system configuration or functions, for example, the user modifies network connection in the system setting application, including opening, closing, modifying a connected network, and the like, and for example, the user sets system parameters, such as sound parameters, display parameters, and the like, in the system setting application, and for example, the user manages various application programs in the system setting application, such as uninstallation, deactivation, and the like.

In the above example, since the first controller and the second controller are communicable with each other, the second application such as the system setting application may also transmit the relevant instruction to the first bluetooth, and the first bluetooth may also return result data of executing the instruction to the second application.

Generally, a display device provides a bluetooth setup interface for a user through a certain application (e.g., a system setup application) thereon, and the user can set or operate the bluetooth function of the device through the bluetooth setup interface. As an example, a user may operate the Bluetooth module in a "System setup" application.

Fig. 9a shows a user interface provided by the "system setting" application, and as shown in fig. 9a, the user interface is provided with operation controls such as "WI-FI", "universal setting", "bluetooth and peripheral", and the user can control the controls in the interface by operating the control device. When the user selects "bluetooth and peripheral" and determines by operating the control means, the bluetooth setup interface shown in fig. 9b is entered.

On the bluetooth setting interface shown in fig. 9b, two function icons for representing the bluetooth on-off states are displayed, the two function icons respectively correspond to the first bluetooth and the second bluetooth, and a user can know the current on-off mode (off or on) of each bluetooth through the bluetooth on-off state, and can also switch the on-off mode of the bluetooth by operating the corresponding function icon (control) to individually control the two bluetooth.

Referring to fig. 9a or 9b, in the short-distance area of the display device 200, there are a plurality of external bluetooth devices such as a bluetooth mouse 801, a bluetooth keyboard 802, a bluetooth speaker 803, and a bluetooth game pad 804, wherein at least one of the bluetooth devices has a bluetooth function activated, and the bluetooth peripheral having the bluetooth function activated continuously transmits broadcast information based on the frequency hopping principle. The user can select "scan device-OFF" and confirm by operating the control means to input a scan command for instructing the bluetooth module to scan the external bluetooth device. In response to a scanning instruction input by a user, the controller controls the Bluetooth module to scan the external Bluetooth device, and when the Bluetooth module receives broadcast information sent by any Bluetooth device, the device is scanned.

When the display displays the bluetooth setting interface shown in fig. 9b, the user can operate the function icon representing the bluetooth on-off state in the interface by operating the control device to input a switching instruction indicating switching of the bluetooth on-off mode. The controller receives a switching instruction for instructing switching of the Bluetooth switching mode, and switches the switching mode of the corresponding Bluetooth module in response to the received switching instruction. For example, a user may operate a function icon corresponding to a first bluetooth in the bluetooth setting interface by operating the control device to input an instruction indicating switching of the on-off mode of the first bluetooth, and in response to the instruction, the controller switches the on-off mode of the first bluetooth, such as from the on-off mode to the off-off mode, or from the off-off mode to the on-off mode.

In some embodiments, after the bluetooth module completes the switching process of the switch mode, the controller updates the bluetooth switch state in the bluetooth setting interface according to the switched switch mode.

However, in the above example, since the user accurately distinguishes two bluetooth devices according to his/her own needs, the user is not sure to be bothered.

Based on the method, the execution body of the method comprises but is not limited to a controller of the display device, and the method aims to represent at least two switch modes corresponding to Bluetooth through a function icon of the Bluetooth switch state, so that the trouble brought to a user is avoided.

In addition, in the process of implementing the idea, the inventor finds that the time consumption corresponding to the process of switching the switch modes of different bluetooth is different, or even if two bluetooth can receive the switch mode switching command simultaneously in an ideal situation to start the switching process simultaneously, it is difficult for the two bluetooth to complete the switching at the same time. Therefore, the present application also provides a solution for how to update the switch state button for this display scheme (i.e. one switch state button displays the switch mode of two bluetooth).

Fig. 10 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for displaying bluetooth on/off states of a display device according to the present application, where the embodiment is applied to a display device having at least two bluetooth chips. As shown in fig. 10, the method may include:

step 101, receiving an input instruction indicating to present a bluetooth setting interface.

And step 102, responding to the instruction for indicating the presentation of the Bluetooth setting interface, and presenting the Bluetooth setting interface on a display, wherein the Bluetooth setting interface comprises function icons for representing Bluetooth switch states, and the Bluetooth switch states are associated with the switch modes of at least two Bluetooth chips.

For example, a user may input an instruction indicating that a bluetooth settings interface is to be presented by operating a control for accessing the bluetooth settings interface in a system settings application or other application by operating the control device.

As another example, the user may indicate by voice input an instruction to present a bluetooth settings interface.

In some embodiments, the switch state displayed in the bluetooth setup interface includes an on state, an off state, and a switch in state, wherein the on state and the off state are statically displayed in the bluetooth setup interface, the switch in state refers to an intermediate state display in which the switch state is switched from the on state (or the off state) to the off state (the on state), and the switch in state is dynamically displayed in the bluetooth setup interface, and the switch in state is used for prompting a user that the display device has responded.

In some embodiments, the switch state displayed on the bluetooth setup interface corresponds to the switch mode in which bluetooth is located. The switch mode of the Bluetooth comprises an opening mode and a closing mode, when the Bluetooth is in the opening mode, the Bluetooth function is opened, and when the Bluetooth is in the opening mode, the Bluetooth function is closed.

For the display device having at least two bluetooth modules as shown in fig. 8, in some embodiments, the switch states corresponding to the switch modes of the two bluetooth modules may be displayed in the bluetooth setting interface, and in other embodiments, the switch states corresponding to the switch modes of the two bluetooth modules may be displayed in the bluetooth setting interface in a fusion manner.

As an example of the first display manner, fig. 9b shows a bluetooth setting interface provided by the system setting application, in which the bluetooth setting interface includes two switch state buttons, one of which is used for representing the switch mode of the first bluetooth and the other is used for representing the switch mode of the second bluetooth. Although the two bluetooth switch modes can be accurately displayed by the method, in practical application, selection trouble is easily brought to a user, namely the user is difficult to select a correct bluetooth switch to control the corresponding bluetooth switch mode according to actual requirements, and the second display method can solve the problem.

As an example of the second display mode, another bluetooth setting interface is exemplarily shown as 11, in which only one switch state button is included, and the characteristic bluetooth switch state thereof is associated with, i.e. determined jointly according to, the switch mode of each bluetooth.

In specific implementation, when an instruction for presenting a Bluetooth setting interface is received, the current switch mode of each Bluetooth is inquired; then judging whether the current switch mode of each Bluetooth is an open mode; if yes, presenting a Bluetooth setting interface comprising an opening state, namely displaying the opening state in the Bluetooth setting interface; and if not, presenting the Bluetooth setting interface comprising the off state, namely displaying the off state in the Bluetooth setting interface.

Taking the case of two bluetooth devices in this scenario as an example, the relationship between the switch status displayed in the bluetooth setup interface and the switch mode of each bluetooth device can be shown in table 1:

TABLE 1

First bluetooth switch mode	Second bluetooth switching mode	Displayed on-off state
			Opening device	Opening device	Opening device
Opening device	Closing device	Closing device
			Closing device	Opening device	Closing (A)
Closing (A)	Closing device	Closing device

And 103, receiving an input switching instruction for indicating to switch the switch mode of the Bluetooth chip.

And 104, responding to a switching instruction, determining a target Bluetooth, and sending the switching instruction to the target Bluetooth so as to switch the switch mode of the target Bluetooth.

In this embodiment, the user can view the currently displayed on-off state through the presented bluetooth setting interface to obtain the on-off mode corresponding to the on-off state. Furthermore, the user can switch the switch mode of the Bluetooth according to actual requirements. For example, when the displayed switch state is the on state, the user may input a switching instruction by operating a function icon representing the bluetooth switch state in the bluetooth setting interface, so as to switch the bluetooth from the current on mode to the off mode.

In some embodiments, the bluetooth settings interface viewed by the user is the interface shown in fig. 11. In these embodiments, if the controller receives a switching command instructing to switch the bluetooth switching mode, it is necessary to determine the target bluetooth to transmit the switching command to the target bluetooth.

During specific implementation, whether the current switch mode of each Bluetooth is consistent with the target mode is judged, if not, the Bluetooth is the target Bluetooth, and the target Bluetooth needs to switch the current switch mode to the target mode, wherein the target mode is the switch mode corresponding to the switching instruction.

Taking the case involving two bluetooth as an example, the method for determining the target bluetooth by comparing the current switch mode and the target mode can be shown in table 2:

TABLE 2

It can be seen that in some cases, the number of target bluetooth is 1, and in other cases, the number of target bluetooth is plural.

It should be noted that, in the case that the bluetooth setting interface is an interface provided by the second controller and the target bluetooth includes the first bluetooth, the second controller receives the switch instruction and sends the switch instruction to the first controller through an RPC (Remote Procedure Call Protocol), and then the first controller sends the switch instruction to the first bluetooth.

Similarly, in the case that the bluetooth setting interface is an interface provided by the first controller and the target bluetooth includes the second bluetooth, the first controller receives the switching instruction, sends the switching instruction to the second controller through the RPC, and sends the switching instruction to the second bluetooth through the second controller.

It should be further noted that, in the present application, the data related to bluetooth transmitted between the first controller and the second controller may be forwarded through the RPC, which is not described in detail below.

And 105, monitoring the broadcast information of the target Bluetooth in the process of switching the switch mode.

The target bluetooth will perform the switch mode process after receiving the switch command. In the prior art, for dual mode bluetooth, the process of switching the switch mode generally includes four stages.

In the process of switching from the on mode to the off mode, the four stages are sequentially as follows:

the first stage is as follows: STATE _ ON → STATE _ TURNING _ OFF;

and a second stage: STATE _ tuning _ OFF → STATE _ BLE _ OFF;

and a third stage: state _ BLE _ OFF → State _ BLE _ TURNING _ OFF;

a fourth stage: state _ BLE _ TURNING _ OFF → STATE _ OFF.

In the process of switching from the off mode to the on mode, the four stages are sequentially as follows:

the first stage is as follows: state _ OFF → State _ BLE _ TURNING _ ON;

and a second stage: state _ BLE _ TURNING _ ON → STATE _ BLE _ ON;

and a third stage: state _ BLE _ ON → State _ TURNING _ ON;

a fourth stage: STATE _ TURNING _ ON → STATE _ ON.

During the switching of the switch mode, the target bluetooth sends corresponding broadcast information to inform the upper layer of relevant information after each stage.

According to the embodiment of the application, broadcast information sent by each target Bluetooth in the process of switching the switch mode is monitored to monitor whether each target Bluetooth responds to a switching instruction or completes the switch mode switching, so that the switch state displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface is updated.

In addition, in order to increase the updating speed of the bluetooth setting interface, so that the user experience is more friendly, and in order to quickly identify abnormal situations, such as bluetooth function abnormality, information loss, and the like, in some preferred embodiments of the present application, a monitoring duration is preset, and the broadcast information of the target bluetooth is monitored within the monitoring duration. And stopping monitoring when the monitoring time reaches the monitoring duration, judging whether the abnormal condition exists according to the monitored result in the monitoring duration, and executing a normal flow or a flow corresponding to the abnormal condition according to the judgment result.

And step 104, updating the Bluetooth switch state displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface according to the broadcast information.

As mentioned above, during the switching of the target bluetooth, after each stage, the target bluetooth transmits corresponding broadcast information. For convenience of distinction, in the embodiments of the present application, broadcast information sent by a target bluetooth when the switch mode starts to be switched is collectively referred to as first broadcast information, that is, broadcast information sent by the target bluetooth in a first stage of a switching process of the switch mode; the broadcast information transmitted by the target bluetooth after the switching of the switching mode is collectively referred to as second transmission information, that is, the broadcast information transmitted by the target bluetooth at the fourth stage of the switching mode switching process.

In a possible implementation manner, if the number of the target bluetooth is 1, the on-off state displayed on the bluetooth setting interface is updated when the target bluetooth completes the switching of the on-off mode, and if the number of the target bluetooth is greater than 1, the on-off state displayed on the bluetooth setting interface is updated when each target bluetooth completes the switching of the on-off mode. Then, in this implementation, because the time required for different bluetooth to execute the switch mode is different, and the time delay caused by the transmission process of the switching instruction and the broadcast information between the two hardware systems is added, the speed of updating the switch state in this implementation is too slow, thereby affecting the experience of the user, for example, causing a misunderstanding that bluetooth does not respond to the user.

In order to enable the bluetooth setting interface to be updated in time to quickly respond to user operations, in a preferred implementation manner, when first broadcast information of at least one target bluetooth is monitored, a current on-off state displayed in the bluetooth setting interface is updated to a switching state; and when second broadcast information sent by each target Bluetooth is monitored, updating the current switch state displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface to be the target state. The target state refers to a switch state corresponding to the switching instruction, if the currently displayed switch state is an on state, the target state is an off state, and if the currently displayed switch state is an off state, the target state is an on state. The switching state is an intermediate state display in the process of switching the switch state from the current state (on state or off state) to the target state (off state or on state), and the switching state is dynamically displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface and used for prompting a user that the display equipment responds.

As an example, fig. 12 shows a bluetooth setting interface provided by the system setting application, in which the currently displayed on-off state is the on-off state, and the user can know that the display device is currently switching the on-off mode of bluetooth through a dynamic circular icon representing the on-off state.

Specifically, if the number of the target bluetooth is 1, when first broadcast information sent by the target bluetooth is monitored, the current on-off state displayed in the bluetooth setting interface is updated to the switching state, and when second broadcast information sent by the target bluetooth is monitored, the current on-off state displayed in the bluetooth setting interface is updated to the target state. And if the number of the target Bluetooth is more than 1, updating the current on-off state displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface to a switching state when first broadcast information sent by any one of the target Bluetooth is monitored, and updating the current on-off state displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface to a target state when second broadcast information sent by each target Bluetooth is monitored.

Fig. 13 is a schematic view of an implementation scenario of the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 13, the system setup application first sends a switch mode switching command to the first bluetooth and the second bluetooth, and after receiving the switching command, the first bluetooth and the second bluetooth respectively execute a switch mode switching process and successively send broadcast information to the system setup application at different times. When the system setting application acquires the first broadcast information, the switch state displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface is updated to the switching state no matter which Bluetooth sends the first broadcast information, and the switching state displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface is updated to the target state until the second broadcast information sent by the two Bluetooth is received.

By adopting the implementation mode, the Bluetooth setting interface can be updated in time, so that the response is quickly made to the user operation through the Bluetooth setting interface, and the user experience is more friendly.

It should be noted that, under the condition that the monitoring duration is preset, the monitoring processes related to the above embodiments are all performed within the preset monitoring duration. If the broadcast information of the target Bluetooth is not received in the monitoring duration, the situation can be regarded as an abnormal situation, and an abnormal situation processing flow needs to be executed.

Specifically, the abnormal condition may be that at least one target bluetooth does not transmit the first broadcast information or the second broadcast information during the listening duration, for example, in a case that the number of target bluetooth is 1, the target bluetooth does not transmit the first broadcast information or the second broadcast information, and in a case that the number of target bluetooth is greater than 1, any one of the target bluetooth does not transmit the first broadcast information or the second broadcast information. The fact that the target Bluetooth does not respond to the switching mode switching instruction or does not receive the switching mode switching instruction is not sent by the first broadcast information, and the fact that the target Bluetooth does not complete switching mode switching or fails to switch is not sent by the second broadcast information.

In view of the above abnormal situation, the switching mode switching instruction may be retransmitted to the target bluetooth that does not transmit the broadcast information, and the target bluetooth may be continuously monitored in the next monitoring duration, thereby solving the abnormality caused by instruction loss. And if the target Bluetooth which is continuously monitored does not send the first broadcast information or the second broadcast information within the other monitoring duration, keeping the current switch state displayed in the Bluetooth setting interface unchanged.

It should be noted that, in this implementation manner, the switching mode switching instruction may be sent to the target bluetooth that does not send the first broadcast information or the second broadcast information again every other monitoring duration until the preset sending times are reached or until the preset duration is reached. And if the first broadcast information and the second broadcast information sent by the target Bluetooth are monitored successively before the preset sending times or the preset duration is reached, executing a corresponding step of updating the Bluetooth setting interface.

By adopting the realization mode, the abnormity of the Bluetooth in the switching process can be quickly identified, and a correct prompt is provided for a user through the Bluetooth setting interface instead of allowing the user to wait all the time.

In addition, if the switching instruction indicates to turn on bluetooth, the following 3 situations are specifically included:

TABLE 3

In the above case 1, if the second bluetooth is abnormal, i.e., fails to turn on, after it is determined that the second bluetooth fails to turn on, the first bluetooth is turned off, and the on/off state in the bluetooth setting interface is maintained.

In the above case 2, if the first bluetooth is abnormal, i.e., fails to turn on, after it is determined that the first bluetooth fails to turn on, the second bluetooth is turned off, and the on/off state in the bluetooth setting interface is maintained.

In the above case 3, if the first bluetooth and/or the second bluetooth is abnormal, that is, fails to turn on, after it is determined that the first bluetooth and/or the second bluetooth fails to turn on, the bluetooth that has succeeded in turning on (the first bluetooth or the second bluetooth) is turned off, and the state of the switch in the bluetooth setting interface is maintained.

By adopting the realization mode, the Bluetooth can be prevented from working under the condition that the user is not aware of, so that the unexpected condition of Bluetooth peripheral return connection is avoided.

In another embodiment, when an abnormal condition that a certain target bluetooth fails to switch occurs, the information for prompting the user of the switching failure is generated while the switch state displayed on the bluetooth setting interface is kept unchanged, and the information pops up on the bluetooth setting interface to prompt the user.

According to the technical scheme, the application provides a display method for displaying the Bluetooth on-off state of equipment, wherein the Bluetooth setting interface is presented on a display in response to an instruction for indicating the presentation of the Bluetooth setting interface, the Bluetooth setting interface comprises function icons for representing the Bluetooth on-off state, and the Bluetooth on-off state is associated with the on-off modes of at least two Bluetooth chips; in response to a switching instruction for indicating switching of the switch mode of the Bluetooth chip, firstly determining a target Bluetooth, and sending the switching instruction to the target Bluetooth so as to switch the switch mode of the target Bluetooth; monitoring broadcast information of the target Bluetooth in the process of switching the switch mode; and finally, updating the Bluetooth switch state in the Bluetooth setting interface according to the broadcast information, thereby solving the problem of timely updating of a switch state button in the Bluetooth setting interface.
