When the user selects the target channel or the target application, it may be regarded that the user inputs a content selection instruction, as shown in fig. 11, for example, the user selects HDMI1, and at this time, the controller 250 of the display apparatus 200 may set the target channel or the target application selected by the user as the content associated with the shortcut key in response to the content selection instruction.

Fig. 12 illustrates a third interaction diagram between a remote control and a controller 250 according to some embodiments.

In some embodiments, the user may also switch the custom page directly on the display 260 by long pressing a shortcut key on the remote control, as shown in FIG. 12. At this time, the long-time pressing of the shortcut key by the user may be regarded as inputting a page display instruction, and the controller 250 directly controls the display 260 to display the customized page in response to the instruction without the user selecting various setting pages. In addition, the "long press" in the embodiment of the present application means that the time for the user to press the shortcut key exceeds a preset time period, for example, exceeds 3 seconds, and the "short press" means that the time for the user to press the shortcut key does not exceed the preset time, for example, does not exceed 3 seconds. The customized page is shown in fig. 9, and the user selects a preset application or a signal source channel of the display device 200, etc. by opening a pull-down menu, as shown in fig. 10. Also, when the user selects the target channel or the target application, it may be regarded that the user inputs a content selection instruction, as shown in fig. 11, for example, the user selects HDMI1, and at this time, the controller 250 of the display apparatus 200 may set the target channel or the target application selected by the user as the content associated with the shortcut key in response to the content selection instruction.

As shown in fig. 9, a cancel key and a confirm key are also provided on the customized page. In some cases, even after the user selects the target channel or the target application, there is a possibility that other target content is temporarily replaced or the user does not want to set the target content, and at this time, the user can select the cancel key through the remote controller and press the confirm key of the remote controller, so that the selected content in the current pull-down menu can be cancelled. Therefore, after selecting a target channel or a target application in the pull-down menu, the user needs to select a confirmation key on the customized page through the remote controller and press the confirmation key of the remote controller, and the controller 250 can determine the content that the user wants to set. As shown in fig. 9, the customized page may also prompt the user to press a confirmation key on the page to make a selection.

Further, in some embodiments, after receiving the content selection instruction input by the user, the controller 250 needs to detect whether the user inputs a confirmation instruction, that is, whether the user selects a confirmation key on the customized page. And in the case that the user inputs the confirmation instruction, setting the target content selected by the user as the content associated with the shortcut key in response to the confirmation instruction.

In addition, in some embodiments, the user may press the shortcut key in a different manner to implement different functions. For example, a long press or a short press, etc. Wherein, long-time pressing of the shortcut key can realize the function of controlling the display 260 to display the customized page; by pressing the shortcut key for a short time, the display 260 may be controlled to display the content associated with the shortcut key, for example, if the content associated with the shortcut key is channel B, the user presses the shortcut key for a short time, and the display 260 is directly switched to the content of channel B for display.

In the shortcut key setting stage, the user may press the shortcut key for a long time, thereby controlling the display 260 to display the customized page. In the using stage of the display device 200 after the shortcut key is set, the user may enter the customized page again by pressing the shortcut key for a long time, or may directly control the display 260 to display the associated content by pressing the shortcut key for a short time. The user inputs a page display instruction by pressing a shortcut key on the remote controller no matter whether the user presses the shortcut key for a long time or for a short time, the controller 250 judges whether the user presses the shortcut key for a long time or for a short time after receiving the instruction, and the display 260 is controlled to display a customized page under the condition that the user presses the shortcut key for a long time; in the case where the user short-presses the shortcut key, the display 260 is controlled to display a page corresponding to the content associated with the shortcut key.

In the embodiment of the present application, the shortcut key has default content, such as channels, before the associated content is not set. If the user does not set the associated content of the shortcut key, when the user presses the shortcut key for a short time, the controller 250 controls the display 260 to switch to the default content corresponding to the shortcut key, for example, the content of the channels live channel is displayed. Or, when the user sets the shortcut key associated content for the first time, the user clicks the cancel key, which may be regarded as the user's previous selection being cancelled, and the shortcut key is still associated with the default content. Or, the user sets the associated content of the shortcut key for the previous time, and clicks the cancel key during the setting, so that the selection of the user is not effective, and the shortcut key still has the associated content set for the previous time.

As can be seen from the above, the display device 200 in the embodiment of the present application may support setting of the associated content of the shortcut key on the remote controller. In addition, the user can set the function of the shortcut key on the remote controller according to personal preferences, so that the display device 200 can be controlled through the shortcut key, and then one key is switched to the target channel or one key is used for starting the target application. According to the scheme, the setting of the shortcut key can meet the requirements of different users, the application range is wide, and the experience of the user using the display device 200 can be guaranteed.

FIG. 13 illustrates a flow diagram of a remote control key setting method according to some embodiments. The method may be applied to some components or assemblies, such as the controller 250, which can implement the control function, and in this embodiment, taking the controller 250 as an example, the implementation of the method may include the following steps:

in step S101, in response to a page display instruction input by the user, the display 260 is controlled to display a customized page for setting the content associated with the shortcut key.

When a user needs to set the shortcut key function of the remote controller, a page display instruction may be sent to the controller 250 through the remote controller, and the specific input instruction may be that the user presses a key on the remote controller, and after receiving the page display instruction, the controller 250 controls the display 260 to display a customized page of the shortcut key. After the user views the customized page, the user can select a target channel or a target application by operating keys of the remote controller, and further send a content selection instruction to the controller 250, and after receiving the content selection instruction, the controller 250 executes step S102.

And step S102, responding to a content selection instruction input by a user, and setting the content associated with the shortcut key. The content selection instruction is used for expressing an instruction of selecting target content after a user views the customized page; the target content is used to represent a target channel or a target application.

In addition, in this embodiment, the user may control the display 260 to display the customized page in at least two ways, for example, the user inputs a page display command by pressing a control key on the remote controller, or the user inputs a page display command by pressing a shortcut key on the remote controller.

Based on this, in some embodiments, the step of controlling the display 260 to display the customized page for setting the content associated with the shortcut key in response to the page display instruction input by the user may include:

controlling the display 260 to display a setup page in response to a page display instruction input by the user by pressing a control key on the remote controller; the setting page comprises shortcut key setting options; the control keys may include direction and determination keys on a remote controller, etc.

Then, in response to a customized page display instruction input by the user, controlling the display 260 to display a customized page; and the customized page display instruction is used for expressing an instruction for selecting the shortcut key setting option after the user watches the setting page.

Also, in some embodiments, the step of controlling the display 260 to display a customized page for setting the content associated with the shortcut key in response to a page display instruction input by the user may further include:

controlling the display 260 to display a customized page in response to a page display instruction input by a user by long-pressing the shortcut key on the remote controller; the long press is used for indicating that the time for pressing the shortcut key by the user exceeds the preset time.

As shown in fig. 9 and 10, the customized page has a pull-down menu, and the pull-down menu has some signal source channels or applications, etc. that can be selected by the user, and a cancel key and a confirm key are also provided on the customized page. After the user selects a target channel or a target application in the pull-down menu, the user needs to select a confirmation key on the customized page through the remote controller and press the confirmation key of the remote controller, and the controller 250 may determine the content that the user wants to set. Therefore, in some embodiments, the step of setting the content associated with the shortcut key in response to the content selection instruction input by the user may include:

detecting whether a user inputs a confirmation instruction or not in response to a content selection instruction input by the user; wherein the confirmation instruction is used for indicating an instruction which is input by a user through a remote controller and used for clicking a confirmation key on the customized page.

Then, in the case where the user inputs the confirmation instruction, the target content selected by the user is set as the content associated with the shortcut key in response to the confirmation instruction. For example, for selecting the channel HDMI1, the HDMI1 is set to the associated channel with the shortcut key, and when the user short-presses the shortcut key again, the display 260 is caused to directly display the content in the HDMI1 channel.

In some embodiments, the method for setting keys of a remote controller may further include: after the content associated with the shortcut key is set, receiving a page display instruction input by a user through pressing the shortcut key on a remote controller; controlling the display 260 to display a customized page in case that the user presses the shortcut key for a long time; under the condition that the user presses the shortcut key for a short time, controlling the display 260 to display a page corresponding to the content associated with the shortcut key; the short press is used for indicating that the time for pressing the shortcut key by the user does not exceed the preset time length.
