Some users desire the display device to have a search function, and some display devices are configured with a search engine to meet the user's needs, and the user can implement the search function using the search engine. When a user calls a search engine of the display device, the soft keyboard is displayed on the display of the display device, and the user inputs the content to be searched by controlling the movement of the focus on the corresponding control on the soft keyboard through the remote controller. The traditional soft keyboard design is that letter position display is designed according to a computer keyboard, a user uses a remote controller to move a focus, the focus can be controlled to move on the soft keyboard by controlling a moving key of the remote controller every time the user touches a moving key of the remote controller, if the letter position distance corresponding to the content to be searched by the user is long, the user needs to touch the moving key of the remote controller for many times, and the user experience is poor.

In order to solve the above technical problem, an embodiment of the present application shows that a display device at least includes a display and a controller, and a work flow of the display device is described below with reference to specific drawings.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart of the interaction between the user and the display device according to an exemplary embodiment. It can be seen that:

the user executes step S51 to call a search interface;

the user can call the search interface in various ways;

for example, in a feasible embodiment, the display device may be installed with a search APP, and the user may click an icon corresponding to the search APP to invoke the search interface.

The embodiment merely describes an example of a calling method of a search interface, and in the process of practical application, the calling method of the search interface may be, but is not limited to, the above method.

In response to the user invoking the search interface, the display is configured to perform step S52 to display the search interface.

In this embodiment, the search interface may include a search box and a soft keyboard. The search box is used for displaying the content searched by the user. The user can input search contents by controlling the manner of moving the focus on the soft keyboard through the remote controller. The search interface is described below with reference to specific figures.

FIG. 6 is a diagram of a search interface provided in one possible embodiment; as can be seen, the search interface may include a search box 61 and a soft keyboard 62.

In this embodiment, the soft keyboard includes a plurality of first controls 621, each of the keyboard controls corresponds to a keyboard letter, number, or symbol, and the first controls are sorted according to a preset order; as a feasible embodiment, the arrangement order of the first controls may be an arrangement order of letters on the keyboard, and specifically, the arrangement order of the first controls in fig. 6 may be referred to.

In this embodiment, the user may control the focus movement to move on the soft keyboard through the remote controller. In this embodiment, the first control corresponding to the position of the focus may be referred to as a target control. In particular, referring to FIG. 6, where the first control 622 is the target control, if the user makes a confirmation action at this time, the search letter "W" is displayed in the search box.

FIG. 7 is a diagram of a search interface provided in one possible embodiment; it can be seen that the search interface may include a search box 71 and a soft keyboard 72. In this embodiment, the arrangement order of the first controls may be the arrangement order of letters in the alphabet, and specifically, the arrangement order of the first controls in fig. 7 may be referred to.

It should be noted that fig. 6 and 7 are merely exemplary to illustrate a search interface, and the search interface may be presented in other forms during the practical application process, and the applicant does not make much limitation.

When the soft keyboard is displayed on the display, the user may execute step S53 to call a recommendation component;

there are a variety of implementations for invoking the recommendation component.

For example, in one possible embodiment, the controller may count the dwell time of the focus on the first control each time the focus is moved to the first control, and invoke the recommended component if the dwell time is greater than or equal to a preset time. The preset time is not limited in this embodiment, and may be configured according to requirements in the process of practical application, for example, in a feasible embodiment, the preset time may be 3 s.

For another example, in one possible embodiment, when focus is moved to the first control, if the user issues a call action, the recommendation component is called. The invoking action may be that the user touches a preset key on the remote controller, and the preset key may be a confirmation key on the remote controller. In order to distinguish the confirmation action from the call action of the user, the confirmation action may be configured as the user clicks the confirmation key once, and the call action may be configured as the user clicks the confirmation key twice in succession, as a feasible embodiment, if the preset key is the confirmation key. It should be noted that this embodiment is merely an exemplary implementation manner for distinguishing between the confirmation action and the call action, and in the process of practical application, other trigger manners of the confirmation action and the call action may be configured according to requirements, which is not limited by the applicant herein.

In the application, the recommendation component is a control set displayed around the target component, and comprises at least one recommendation control, and the recommendation control is located around the target control. As a possible embodiment, the recommendation component may be located in the same window as the soft keyboard, and the recommendation component is located on the upper layer of the soft keyboard. As a feasible embodiment, the recommendation component can be positioned in a different window from the soft keyboard, and the window corresponding to the recommendation component is positioned at the upper layer of the window corresponding to the soft keyboard.

The surrounding referred to in this application is the position adjacent to the target control in four directions, up, down, left and right. The adjacent position is a position that can be reached by one focus movement.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements, FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of a search interface provided in one possible embodiment; it can be seen that in the search interface shown in fig. 8, recommendation components 81 are shown around the target control, where the recommendation components 81 include 4 recommendation controls 811: the recommendation control i, the recommendation control t, the recommendation control a and the recommendation control h. In the search interface shown in fig. 8, the focus is located on the first control q of the software disk, and the user can control the focus to move through the remote controller, and the focus can jump to the recommended component through the soft keyboard. When the focus is at the recommendation control i, the user makes a confirmation action and the search letter "i" is displayed in the search box.

In the method, each recommendation control corresponds to one recommendation letter, when the focus is located on the recommendation control, the user makes a confirmation action, and the recommendation letter corresponding to the recommendation control is displayed in the search box. As a possible example, the recommended letters may be random letters.

For example, in one possible embodiment, when the user makes the invoking action, the controller controls the display to show the recommendation component, wherein the recommendation component may include 4 recommendation controls. The controller can randomly configure a recommendation letter for each recommendation control, and 4 recommendation letters are randomly allocated to the recommendation components by the controller. The user can control the focus to move through the remote controller, the focus can jump to the recommendation component through the soft keyboard, when the focus is located at the recommendation control, the user makes a confirmation action, and the recommendation letter corresponding to the recommendation control is displayed in the search box.

Compared with the conventional searching method, the technical solution shown in this embodiment can reduce the number of times that the user moves the remote controller to a certain extent under the condition that the searching content is the same, and the following description is given with reference to a specific example.

In one possible embodiment, the search content that the user needs to input is "q, i". In a traditional searching mode, a user can control a focus to move on a soft keyboard through a remote controller, when the focus moves to a first control q, the user triggers a confirmation key of the remote controller, at the moment, a searching letter q is displayed in a searching frame, the user continues to control the focus to move through the remote controller until the focus moves to the first control i, in the process, the user needs to continuously 7 touch and control a right key of the remote controller, the focus can move to the first control i, the user triggers the confirmation key of the remote controller, and at the moment, the searching letter qi is displayed in the searching frame. According to the scheme, a user can control the focus to move on the soft keyboard through the remote controller, when the focus moves to the first control q, the user triggers a confirmation key of the remote controller, the search letter q is displayed in the search box at the moment, the user sends out a calling action, the controller controls the display to display the recommendation component, and the recommendation component comprises 4 recommendation controls, namely a recommendation control i, a recommendation control t, a recommendation control h and a recommendation control a. The user controls the focus to move to the recommendation control i through the remote controller, the user triggers the confirmation key of the remote controller, the search letter 'qi' is displayed in the search box at the moment, and the user only needs to touch the 'up' key once in the process.

In order to make the recommendation component provide more choices of recommended letters for the user, as a feasible example, the recommended letters are different from the target letters, and the target letters are keyboard letters corresponding to the target control.

In the technical scheme shown in the embodiment of the application, the recommended letters are different from the target letters, so that more choices can be provided for a user in the recommended components, the number of times that the user touches the keys of the remote controller can be further reduced in some application scenarios, and the user experience is further improved.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of a recommendation component provided in one possible embodiment. In this embodiment, the target control is a first control q, the recommendation control 91 is a recommendation control u, a recommendation control i, a recommendation control j, and a recommendation control k. When the search content that the user wants to input is "qu", and the focus is located at the first control q, the user touches the confirmation key, when the display shows the recommendation component as shown in fig. 9, the user can move the focus to the recommendation control u by touching the "up" control of the remote controller, and when the user touches the confirmation key, the search content "qu" can be shown in the search box. When the search content that the user wants to input is "qi", and the focus is located on the first control q, the user touches the confirmation key, when the display displays the recommendation component as shown in fig. 9, the user can move the focus to the recommendation control i by touching the "right" control of the remote controller, and when the user touches the confirmation key, the search content "qi" can be displayed in the search box. When the search content that the user wants to input is "qj", and the focus is located at the first control q, the user touches the confirmation key, when the display shows the recommendation component as shown in fig. 9, the user can move the focus to the recommendation control j by touching the "down" control of the remote controller, and when the user touches the confirmation key, the search content "qj" can be shown in the search box. When the search content that the user wants to input is "qk", and the focus is located at the first control q, the user touches the confirmation key, when the display shows the recommendation component as shown in fig. 9, the user can move the focus to the recommendation control k by touching the left control of the remote controller, and when the user touches the confirmation key, the search content "qk" can be shown in the search box.

In order for the recommendation component to provide more choices of recommended letters for the user, as a possible embodiment, the recommended letters do not include keyboard letters that are adjacent to the target letter in the soft keyboard.

In this embodiment, the keyboard letters adjacent to the target letter include letters adjacent to the target letter in the horizontal direction and letters adjacent to the target letter in the vertical direction. For example, referring to the soft keyboard 62 of FIG. 6, the letters adjacent to the target letter "w" 622 in the soft keyboard include the keyboard letter "e", the keyboard letter "s", and the keyboard letter "q".
