Description

Reservation task execution method and display device

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of display equipment, in particular to a reservation task execution method and display equipment.

Background

In some application scenarios, a user may set a reservation task in a display device, such as a reservation for watching a program and a reservation for recording a video, each reservation task is set with a corresponding reservation time, when a current time is close to the reservation time, the display device may prompt the user that there is a reservation task to be executed, and the user may start to execute the reservation task at the reservation time after confirmation.

However, at present, the display device only supports a related processing flow of executing the reservation task in the power-on state, after the reservation task is generated, once the user switches the display device to the standby state or the sleep state, the reservation task is terminated, the user cannot receive a reminder of the reservation task, and the reservation task cannot be triggered to be executed in the non-power-on state, so that some reservation tasks are disabled.

Disclosure of Invention

The invention provides a reserved task execution method and display equipment, and aims to solve the problem of failure of a reserved task caused when the display equipment is in a standby state or a sleep state.

A first aspect of the present application provides a display device, comprising:

a display for displaying a user interface;

a controller for performing:

when receiving a state switching operation input in a starting-up state, if a reserved task to be executed is detected, starting a timing starting-up mode and controlling display equipment to enter a target state indicated by the state switching operation;

when the preset starting time is reached, controlling the display equipment to start; the preset starting time is a time point obtained by advancing the appointment time of the appointment task by a preset time length;

and when the reserved time is reached, starting to execute the reserved task.

In the technical scheme provided by the first aspect of the present application, when a user inputs a state switching operation in a power-on state of a display device, the power-on state needs to be switched to a target state, where the target state is, for example, standby, sleep, or the like, that is, a non-power-on state and a non-power-off state of the complete device, and clock detection and automatic power-on are supported. If the reserved task to be executed is detected, the method starts a timing starting mode, the timing starting mode has preset starting time, the preset time length can be reserved in consideration of starting and time consumption of reservation reminding, a time point obtained by advancing the reserved time by the preset time length is the preset starting time, for example, the preset time length is 1 minute, the reserved time is 19:30, and the preset starting time is 19: 29. The system time is monitored in the target state, the automatic control equipment is started when the system time reaches the preset starting time, and the preset starting time is close to the reservation time, so that the reserved task can be started and executed when the reserved time is reached after the starting, and the reserved task is prevented from being invalid in the standby or sleep state.

In a first exemplary implementation manner of the first aspect, the controller is further configured to perform:

when the display equipment is started up, controlling the display to display a second prompt popup window; the second prompt popup window comprises second query information, a second confirmation control and a second cancellation control, wherein the second query information is used for querying whether the user starts to execute the reserved task at the reserved time;

if the clicking operation of the second confirmation control is received, starting to execute the reserved task when the reserved time is reached;

and if the click operation of the second cancel control is received, canceling the execution of the reservation task.

The first exemplary implementation mode provides that when the startup is finished at the reserved startup time, the reserved task is reminded in a second popup prompting mode, and the user is inquired whether to start to execute the reserved task at the reserved time to be reached, if the user wants to execute the reserved task, the user clicks the second confirmation control, and then the reserved task can be started to execute when the reserved time is reached; and if the user wants to abandon the execution of the reserved task, clicking the second cancel control, and canceling the execution of the reserved task. By reminding the reservation task and confirming whether the reservation task is executed or not, the method can adapt to the use requirements of users in more scenes.

In a second exemplary implementation manner of the first aspect, the second prompt pop-up window further displays countdown information, where the countdown information is used to indicate a time difference between the reserved time and the current time, and then the controller is further configured to:

and when the countdown information is detected to be zero, if the click operation on the second confirmation control or the second cancellation control is not received all the time, canceling the execution of the reservation task, and switching the display equipment to the target state again.

In a second exemplary implementation manner, the second prompt popup window may further display a countdown timer, so that the user knows how long time is left until the scheduled task is executed, when the countdown timer reaches zero, the scheduled time is reached, if the user does not operate any control, it is indicated that no one may watch the display device at present, it is determined that the response is over time, the scheduled task is cancelled by default, and the device is switched to the target state again, so that the purposes of saving energy and saving power are achieved.

In a third exemplary implementation manner of the first aspect, the controller is further configured to perform:

when the display equipment is started up, detecting whether a user is in position;

if the user is in the in-place state, starting to execute the reservation task when the reservation time is reached;

and if the user is not in a position, canceling the execution of the reservation task.

A third exemplary implementation manner may detect whether the user is in place, which is equivalent to determining whether the display device is watched by someone currently, through a manner such as positioning of the user's mobile phone, sound/camera/infrared detection, and the like. In some examples, it may be detected whether there is a user on the front side of the display device screen, and may further detect the activity status of the user, for example, if it is detected that the user keeps the preset time on the front side of the display device without shifting, it is confirmed that the user is in place, and the execution of the reserved task is automatically started at the reserved time; if no person is in front of the display equipment, the display equipment is confirmed to be in an out-of-position state, and the execution of the reserved task is cancelled under the condition that the user cannot participate in the task. The implementation mode can decide whether to execute the reservation task or not according to the in-place state of the user.

In a fourth exemplary implementation manner of the first aspect, the controller is further configured to perform:

when detecting that the reserved task to be executed exists, controlling a display to display a first prompt popup window; the first prompt popup window comprises first query information, a first confirmation control and a first cancellation control, wherein the first query information is used for querying whether a user is allowed to start up at fixed time and carry out appointment task prompt in the target state;

if the clicking operation on the first confirmation control is received, starting a timing starting mode and entering a target state;

and if the click operation on the first cancel control is received, canceling the prompt and executing the reservation task, and entering the target state.

Since the scheduled starting is performed at a fixed time in the target state to realize the reminding and execution process of the scheduled task, the fourth exemplary implementation manner is that when the state switching operation is received, if the scheduled task to be executed is detected, the user is preferentially inquired whether the scheduled starting is allowed and the scheduled task is executed in a first prompt popup window mode. If the user cannot watch the television all the time and wants the television to keep the target state all the time, clicking the first cancellation control, so that the display equipment enters and keeps the target state, and then processing flows such as reminding and executing the reserved task are not performed any more; if the user allows, clicking the first confirmation control, starting the timing starting mode by the display equipment, entering a target state, and subsequently starting the display equipment automatically when the preset starting time is reached, or displaying a second prompt popup window to remind a reserved task first, or directly starting and executing the reserved task when the reserved time is reached. The implementation mode supports the user to select a mode of starting up at fixed time and executing the reserved task or a mode of keeping the target state and canceling the reserved task according to the actual scene.

In a fifth exemplary implementation manner of the first aspect, the controller cancels execution of the reservation task as follows:

determining whether the reserved task is a target type task or not according to the type of the reserved task; the target type task is a reservation task which supports no user to participate and can be executed by a background spontaneously;

and if the reserved task is determined not to be the target type task, canceling the execution of the reserved task.

In a fifth exemplary implementation manner, the types of the reserved tasks are different, and the execution modes may be different, for example, for a reserved program to be watched, a user must participate, and if the display device is not watched by a person, the task of the reserved program to be watched is not effectively executed, and is not beneficial to saving energy and power of the display device, and belongs to a non-target type task; for example, the video is scheduled to be recorded, the mode does not need a user to participate in the recording process, and the background of the display device can automatically complete recording according to the acquired data stream of the video, so that the video belongs to a target type task. For the tasks of the non-target type, the execution can be directly cancelled, so that the execution invalidity of the reserved tasks is avoided, and the power consumption of the display equipment can be reduced.

In a sixth exemplary implementation manner of the first aspect, the controller is further configured to perform:

if the reserved task is determined to be the target type task, starting to execute the reserved task in a background mode when the reserved time is reached;

and switching the display equipment to the target state again when the completion of the execution of the reserved task is detected.

In a sixth exemplary implementation manner, before canceling the execution of the reservation task, if it is detected that the execution belongs to the target type task, it is not necessary to consider whether the user is in place or whether a response timeout exists for the second prompt popup window, and when the reservation time is reached, the execution of the reservation task is started in a background mode, and when the reservation task is completed, the display device is switched to the target state again, so that the purposes of saving energy and saving power are achieved. In the implementation mode, aiming at the target type task without user participation, the task execution is not required to be cancelled, and the reserved task is executed in a background mode instead.

In a seventh exemplary implementation manner of the first aspect, before the reserved time is reached, the controller is further configured to:

if detecting that the same appointment time corresponds to a plurality of appointment tasks set by different users, combining to obtain a task set;

carrying out user identification in the peripheral region of the display equipment to acquire the number and identity of the users in place;

determining whether a task execution conflict exists in the task set according to the number and the identity of the users in position, the corresponding relation between the users and the reserved tasks and the types of the reserved tasks in the task set;

if no task execution conflict is determined, synchronously executing a plurality of reservation tasks in the task set according to the matched mode;

if the task execution conflict is determined to exist, controlling a display to display a third prompt popup window, wherein a conflict task list is displayed in the third prompt popup window, and the conflict task list comprises at least two appointment tasks with conflicts; the conflict task list is used for enabling a user to select a target task which is started to be executed at a reserved time, and other tasks except the target task in the conflict task list are switched to a background mode or are cancelled to be executed.

In a seventh exemplary implementation manner, when there are multiple reservation tasks corresponding to the same reservation time, there may be a task conflict, for example, if the reservation task 1 is a user a reserving channel 1 at 19:30, and the reservation task 2 is a user B reserving channel 2 at 19:30, the set of tasks is { reservation task 1, reservation task 2}, and both the reservation task 1 and the reservation task 2 belong to non-target type tasks that require the user to participate in personally, and if the user identifies that the user in place is the user a or the user B (single person), the display may display a program playing interface of channel 1 or channel 2, and there is no task execution conflict, taking only the user a in place as an example, since the user B cannot watch channel 2, the display may only display the program of channel 1, but in order to avoid the user B missing the program of channel 2 reserved for 19:30, the video in the reservation task 2 can be converted from the watching mode to the background recording mode, and the user B can watch the program of the channel 2 which is not reserved and watched on time by checking the recording file, thereby realizing the synchronous execution of multiple tasks.

If it is acquired that the user A and the user B are in position at the same time, and the display device cannot play programs of two different channels at the same time, because of task execution conflict, a third prompt popup window can be displayed, the third prompt popup window displays a conflict task list comprising at least two conflicting reservation tasks to the user, the user A and the user B can negotiate to start to execute the reservation task 1 or the reservation task 2 at the reservation time, for example, a target task received by the controller is the reservation task 2, the display displays a program of the channel 2 reserved for viewing by the user B in a ratio of 19:30, and the program of the channel 1 reserved for viewing by the user A in a ratio of 19:30 can be recorded in a background or the reserved task 1 can be directly cancelled (neither displayed nor recorded in the background), so that the conflict problem among multiple tasks is solved.

In an eighth exemplary implementation manner of the first aspect, the controller is further configured to perform:

when the display equipment keeps a starting-up state, if a reserved task to be executed is detected, the timing starting-up mode keeps a closing state, and the reserved task is started to be executed when the reserved time is reached;

and when receiving the state switching operation input in the starting-up state, if the reserved task to be executed is not detected, directly controlling the display equipment to enter the target state.

In an eighth exemplary implementation manner, if the user does not input the state switching operation, and the display device is always kept in the power-on state, if there is a reserved task to be executed, the timed power-on mode is not required to be executed, that is, the timed power-on mode is kept in the power-off state, and the execution of the reserved task can be started every time a reserved time is detected, or a second prompt popup window can be displayed to perform reservation prompting and inquire whether the reserved task is executed or not. When the state switching operation is received, if the reserved task to be executed is not detected, the target state can be directly switched and maintained.

A second aspect of the present application provides a reservation task execution method, including:

and when the reserved time is reached, starting to execute the reserved task.

For other exemplary implementations and advantageous technical effects of the second aspect, reference may be made to the foregoing description of the first aspect, and details are not described herein.

The above embodiments describe the hardware/software architecture and functional implementation of the display device. In one application scenario, a user may set a reserved task in a display device, task information of the reserved task includes, but is not limited to, a task initiator, a reserved time and task content, the task initiator is a user identity for setting the reserved task, and the reserved time is a time for starting execution of the reserved task, i.e., the task information is used to indicate that a user sets a task for executing xxx content at a certain reserved time. The task content implicitly includes task types, such as a viewing type task, a recording type task, an upgrading type task, and the like, and the task execution mode can be determined according to the task types.

In some exemplary implementations, a task type such as a watching type, which requires the user to participate in himself/herself, i.e., whether the user is in position or not, is determined, and the display is controlled to display a tv program reserved for watching by the user when the user is in the position. When a user sets a reserved watching task, for example, an electronic program guide menu in a live television channel can be called, program information to be broadcast in the future is displayed in the electronic program guide menu, the program information comprises a channel ID, a program name, broadcasting time and the like, and the user selects any program which is not broadcast yet from the menu and initiates and confirms the reserved watching task. The content scheduled for viewing is not limited to television channel programming but may also be a source of a video application, for example, some video applications support scheduled reminders and viewing of new sources that are about to be on the shelf.

In some exemplary implementations, such as a record-type, upgrade-type, etc. task type that does not require user involvement, the controller may perform these tasks in a background mode without having to tie up hardware resources such as a display, sound player, etc. and without having to confirm that the user is in place.

In some exemplary implementations, when the display device is in the power-on state, the user may input the state switching operation at any time, so as to switch the display device from the power-on state to the target state. The target state mentioned in the present application refers to a non-power-on state and a non-power-off state of the whole device, for example, the target state may be a standby state, a sleep state, a hibernation state, etc., and the target state supports clock detection (to detect the current time) and automatic timing power-on.

In the conventional display device, when the controller receives a state switching operation input in a power-on state, the controller directly enters a target state, and cannot remind and execute a reserved task in the target state, so that the reserved task fails due to overdue unexecuted.

To overcome the problems in the prior art, in an exemplary implementation manner, as shown in fig. 5, a reserved task execution method is provided, where an execution subject of the method is a controller 250, and the method includes the following program steps:

in step S01, a state switching operation input by the user in the power-on state of the display device is received.

In step S02, it is detected whether there is a reserved task to be executed. If the reserved task to be executed is detected, executing the step S03 to the step S05; if it is not detected that there is a reserved task to be executed, step S06 is executed.

Step S03, starting the regular startup mode, and controlling the display device to enter the target state indicated by the state switching operation.

In step S04, when the preset boot time is reached, the display device is controlled to boot.

And step S05, when the reserved time is reached, starting to execute the reserved task.

Step S06, keeping the timed power-on mode in an off state, and directly controlling the display device to enter a target state.

When receiving the state switching operation, the controller first detects whether a reservation task to be executed exists. If the reserved task to be executed does not exist, directly switching and keeping the reserved task in the target state until the user inputs the starting/awakening operation, and then switching the target state of the display equipment into the starting state; if the reserved task to be executed is detected, starting the timing starting mode, recording the preset starting time appointed by the timing starting mode, and reserving the preset time t in consideration of the time consumption of starting and reservation reminding_yWill reserve time T_pThe duration t is preset in advance_yTo obtain a preSetting the starting time T_startI.e. T_start＝T_p-t_yE.g. preset duration t_yIs 1 minute, the time T is reserved_pAt 19:30, the starting-up time T is preset_startNamely 19:29, when the current time of the system is detected to reach 19:29, the display device is automatically controlled to be powered on, so that the display device is restored to the power-on state from the target state. After the starting-up state is recovered, the state condition of the reserved task execution is met, the reserved task is started to be executed when the reserved time is reached, and the problem that the reserved task fails due to overdue and unexecuted under the target states of standby, sleeping and the like can be solved.

In an exemplary implementation manner, after receiving the state switching operation, if it is detected that there is an appointment task to be executed, a first prompt popup as illustrated in fig. 6 may be displayed, where the first prompt popup includes first query information, a first confirmation control, and a first cancellation control. The first inquiry information is used for inquiring whether a user is allowed to start up at a fixed time and carry out reservation task prompting in a target state, the first confirmation control is used for starting a fixed time starting mode when triggered, and the first cancellation control is used for canceling prompting and executing a reservation task when triggered and directly switching to the target state.

If the user cannot watch the display equipment subsequently and wants the display equipment to keep the target state, the user can click the first cancel control to enable the display equipment to enter and keep the target state, the timed starting mode keeps the closing state, the user does not start the display equipment at regular time subsequently, and the user does not remind and start the reserved task to execute. If the user allows the regular startup and the execution of the reserved task in the target state, the user clicks the first confirmation control, the display equipment enters the target state after starting the regular startup mode, then the system time is monitored in real time, the display equipment is automatically controlled to be started up when the preset startup time is reached, and then the reminding of the reserved task can be preferentially carried out.

In an exemplary implementation, when the power-on of the display device from the target state is completed, the display may be controlled to display a second prompt popup as illustrated in fig. 7, where the second prompt popup includes second query information, a second confirmation control, and a second cancel control. The second inquiry information is used for inquiring whether the user starts to execute the reserved task at the reserved time, the second confirmation control is used for starting to execute the reserved task at the reserved time when the user is triggered, and the second cancellation control is used for canceling to execute the reserved task when the user is triggered.

Whether the user executes the reserved task or not and the task requirement may change, and the change has randomness and unpredictability, for example, the reserved task 1 set by the user a before is a program of viewing the channel 1 at 19:30:00, the user a looks up the reminder of the reserved task 1 through the second prompt popup at 19:29:30, at this time, the user a may need to go out or want to view other programs/videos in a certain time, that is, the user a cannot continue to view the program specified by the reserved task 1, the user may click the second cancel control, and cancel the execution of the reserved task 1, that is, the display does not actively start playing the program of the channel 1 at 19:30: 00. If the user still wants to continue watching the program designated by the reserved task 1 set previously, the second confirmation control can be clicked, and the display device automatically starts to play the program of the channel 1 when the reserved time 19:30:00 is reached, so that the user can watch the program in time conveniently.

In an exemplary implementation, referring to the example of fig. 7, the second prompt popup window may further display countdown information, and the countdown information is used for indicating the reserved time T_pThe time difference with the current time T is used for enabling the user to know how long the current distance is left for starting the reservation task, and the smaller the countdown is, the closer the reservation time is.

In an exemplary implementation manner, the countdown information is detected in real time, when the countdown information is detected to be zero, that is, when the reserved time is reached, if the controller does not receive the click operation of the user on the second confirmation control or the second cancellation control all the time, which indicates that the display device may not be watched by people currently (that is, no user is in place currently), it is determined that the response is overtime, the reserved task can be cancelled by default, and the display device is switched to the target state again, so that the purposes of saving energy and saving electricity are achieved.

In the former implementation manner, whether the user is in position can be determined according to whether response timeout occurs when the second prompt popup is displayed, where "in position" in the present application means that the user is located in a viewable area on the front side of a screen of the display device, and can view the display device, input an operation instruction in a manner of a remote controller, voice, and the like, and effectively interact with the display device. If the user is in the in-place state, the reservation task can be started and executed when the reservation time is reached; on the contrary, the user is not in place, the reserved task can be cancelled, so that the problem of invalid execution of the reserved task which possibly occurs in an unmanned scene is avoided, and the consumption of equipment resources and electric energy is reduced.

Of course, other manners may also be used to determine whether the user is in place, and in an exemplary implementation manner, a user terminal information list may be maintained in the display device, where a corresponding relationship between the identity information of the user and the device information of the terminal used by the user is recorded in the user terminal information list, where the identity of the user may be an identity ID/identifier, such as a name, a nickname, and the like, and the device information includes, but is not limited to, a MAC address of the terminal, a terminal device ID, and the like.

In an exemplary implementation manner, the display device may obtain positioning information of the mobile terminal used by the reservation task initiator, and may determine whether the terminal user is in place by comparing the relative position and distance between the mobile terminal and the display device. As an example, for example, the reservation task 1 is set by a user a, the controller searches device information of a mobile terminal a ' used by the user a in a user terminal information list through identity information of the user a, and sends a positioning information request to the mobile terminal a ', after receiving the positioning information request, the mobile terminal a ' acquires real-time positioning information of the local machine and reports the positioning information to the display device, and the display device analyzes relative positions and distances of devices at two ends according to the position of the local machine and the position of the terminal, for example, when the mobile terminal a ' is detected to be located in a blind area viewed by a display device screen, or when the mobile terminal a ' is far away from the display device, it is determined that the user a is not in place; and for another example, if the mobile terminal a' is detected to be positioned right in front of the screen of the display device and the distance is proper, the user a is determined to be in the positioned state.

In one exemplary implementation, the in-place status of the end user may be confirmed according to a communication connection status of the user's mobile terminal with the display device. For example, the reservation task 2 is set by the user B, the controller searches the device information of the mobile terminal B ' used by the user B in the user terminal information list through the identity information of the user B, and then detects the communication connection state of the local device and the terminal device B ', wherein the communication connection state includes, but is not limited to, a network connection, a bluetooth connection, and the like, and if at least one communication connection mode of the terminal device B ' and the display device is in a connection state, the user B may be in a ready state.

It can be understood that when the terminal device establishes a communication connection with the display device, the signal strength of the communication connection is often associated with the distance, and the closer the terminal device is to the display device, the stronger the signal is, whereas the farther the terminal device is from the display device, the weaker the signal is. Therefore, in an exemplary implementation mode, the accuracy and reliability of the user in-position state identification can be improved according to the communication connection state and the signal strength. For example, when the terminal device and the display device are in a connected state and the signal strength of the communication connection is greater than a certain set threshold, it indicates that the terminal device is closer to the display device and the user is more likely to be in a seated state; if the terminal device and the display device are connected but the signal strength of the communication connection is weak, it indicates that although the terminal device is located in the sensing area of the communication connection of the display device, the terminal device and the display device may be far apart or there is an obstacle/partition capable of weakening the signal, and the possibility that the user is not in the same room as the display device is low, and the user is in a seated state.

In an exemplary implementation, whether a person is in a certain area around the display device may also be identified by means such as sound, infrared, and the like. For example, if the display device is fixed in the living room, it is possible to recognize whether there is a human voice in the living room and/or whether human infrared information is detected in the space of the living room, thereby determining whether there is a human in the living room. If people exist in the living room, the users in place are considered to exist, and if no people exist in the living room, the users in place do not exist.

In an exemplary implementation manner, a camera may be configured on the display device, the camera is configured to capture images in a field of view in front of the screen, and the camera may monitor whether a user is around the display device, identify the identity of the user, and an activity state of the user. For example, a user is monitored to exist in an image acquired by a camera, whether the user is a task initiator or not is identified, if the user is the task initiator and the activity state of the user is detected to be that the preset time is kept on a sofa at the front side of the display device without displacement, the user is determined to be seated to watch the display device, and the user is determined to be in a seated state; for another example, if the camera monitors that no person is around the display device, or monitors that the user has just sat on the sofa but has quickly got up and left, it may be determined that the user is not in position. It should be noted that there are many implementation manners for determining whether the user is in place, and the implementation manner is not limited to the example described in the embodiment of the present application.

In an exemplary implementation manner, according to task content of a reservation task, a task type can be determined, in the application, a reservation task which supports no user participation and can be spontaneously executed by a background is named as a target type task, for example, tasks such as video reservation recording, application reservation updating, system reservation upgrading and the like all belong to the category of the target type task, and hardware playing resources such as a display and a sound player are not occupied. The reservation tasks that require user participation and interaction do not belong to the target type tasks, such as reservation watching television programs, reservation watching new videos on shelf, reservation video call/conference, reservation playing games, reservation live broadcasting and the like.

In one exemplary implementation, for a scenario in which the reservation time is near but the user is not in place, it may be determined whether the reservation task belongs to a target type task according to the type of the reservation task to be executed. If the reserved task is not the target type task, it is indicated that the task must be participated and interacted by the user, but the user is not in place, the reserved task can be cancelled, for example, for the task of reserving playing games, the user must participate in the game operation really to ensure the effectiveness of task execution, but the user is not in place, and no people are present around the display device, the reserved task is cancelled, the game interface is not displayed, the game audio is not played, the invalid task is ended in time, and the effects of saving energy and electricity can be achieved.

In an exemplary implementation, if the reserved task is a target type task, it is not necessary to consider that the user is not in place, and when the reserved time is reached, the reserved task can be started to be executed in a background mode. Optionally, when the reservation task is completed, if there is no other reservation task to be executed within a certain time period (the length of the time period may be set according to actual application) in the future, the display device may be switched to the target state again to reduce resource and power consumption as much as possible. In the implementation mode, aiming at the target type task without user participation and interaction, the execution task is not required to be cancelled, and the reservation task is executed in a background mode instead, so that the feasible reservation task under the unmanned scene is prevented from being executed in a missing way.

In an exemplary implementation manner, a user may not input a state switching operation, that is, the display device is always in a power-on state, if a reservation task is not detected, the display device keeps a current state, if a reservation task to be executed is detected, the timed power-on mode keeps a power-off state, and the reminding and executing method of the reservation task may refer to the processing flow after the timed power-on in the target state, which is not described in detail in the embodiments of the present application.

In an exemplary implementation manner, fig. 8 illustrates a reserved task execution method in an application scenario 1, where a state switching operation is a standby operation in the application scenario 1 as an example, the method includes the following steps:

step S101, receiving a standby operation input by a user in the power-on state of the display device.

Step S102, judging whether a reserved task to be executed exists. If yes, step S103 is executed, otherwise step S112 is executed.

And step S103, displaying a first prompt popup window.

And step S104, whether the timing startup and the appointment task reminding are allowed to be carried out in the standby state or not. If yes, step S105 is executed, otherwise step S112 is executed.

Step S105, starting a timing boot mode, and setting a preset boot time.

And step S106, controlling the display device to enter a standby state.

And step S107, controlling the display device to start up when the preset starting-up time is reached.

And step S108, displaying a second prompt popup.

In step S109, whether or not a confirmation instruction to start execution of the reserved task at the reserved time is received. Optionally, if the user clicks the second confirmation control in the second prompt popup window, that is, receives the confirmation instruction, then step S110 is executed; if the user clicks the second cancel control, the confirmation instruction is not received, and step S111 is executed. When the countdown information is zero, if the response time-out occurs, the execution reservation task is cancelled, and step S112 is executed.

And step S110, closing the second prompt popup window, and starting to execute the reserved task when the reserved time is reached.

And step S111, closing the second prompt popup window and canceling the execution of the reservation task.

Because the second prompt popup is closed and the reservation task is not executed any more, the display can continue to keep the original display picture, for example, when the user has no other operation, the homepage is displayed by default after the user is started regularly.

Step S112, directly switching and maintaining the display device in the standby state.

In an exemplary implementation, fig. 9 shows a reserved task execution method in an application scenario 2, where a reserved task may have multiple task types, for example, in the application scenario 2, the reserved task includes two task types, and the state switching operation is a standby operation as an example, the reserved task is a user a that sets 19:30 (reserved time) to watch and record a program 1, and the task types of the reserved task include a reserved recording type and a reserved viewing type, where the reserved recording type belongs to a target type task, and the reserved viewing type is a non-target type task, and the method includes the following steps:

step S201, after the display device is turned on, a reserved recording and watching task for the program 1 is generated according to the setting of the user a.

Step S202, whether a standby operation is received before the reserved time is reached. If the standby operation is received, executing step S203; on the contrary, if the standby operation is not received all the time, that is, the display apparatus is always in the on state, the step S208 is executed at a time point obtained by advancing the reserved time by a certain specified time (for example, 30 seconds).

Step S203, displaying a first prompt pop-up window.

Step S204, whether the timing startup and the appointment task reminding are allowed to be carried out in the standby state or not. If yes, step S205 is executed, otherwise step S212 is executed.

In step S205, a timing boot mode is started, and a preset boot time is set.

In step S206, the display device is controlled to enter a standby state.

Step S207, controlling the display device to start up when the preset start-up time is reached.

Step S208, detecting whether the user a is in place. If the user a is in place, step S209 is executed; otherwise, if the user a is not in place, step S211 is executed.

Step S209 displays the task type selection popup.

Step S210, according to a selection instruction input by the user A in the task type selection popup, starting to execute the reserved task at the reserved time in the execution mode indicated by the selection instruction.

Optionally, as shown in the task type selection pop-up window illustrated in fig. 10, third query information for querying that the user is viewing program 1 and/or recording program 1 is displayed in the task type selection pop-up window, and a "record" control, a "view" control, and a "view and record" control corresponding to the third query information are generated according to the task type included in the reservation task. If the user clicks the recording control after the user is in place, the execution mode of the reserved task is that only the program 1 is recorded in the background and the program 1 is not played, so that the user can preferentially watch other programs/videos/applications and watch the program 1 in a mode of watching the recorded file; if the user clicks the 'watching' control, the execution mode of the reservation task is to only play the program 1 without recording the program 1, namely, the user watches the program 1 on line/live broadcast, so that recording resources are not consumed, and the occupation of a recording file on a memory is avoided; if the user clicks the 'watch and record' control, the execution mode of the reserved task is to play the program 1, and the background synchronously records the program 1, so that the mode supports the user to watch the program 1 on line/live broadcast and also supports the user to review the recorded file at any time.

In step S211, when the scheduled time is reached, only the program 1 is recorded in the background mode, and after the recording of the program 1 is completed, the display device is switched to the standby state again. When the user is not in place and nobody watches the program 1, the program 1 is automatically stopped to be played, and the background recording is independently executed.

Step S212, directly switching and maintaining the display device to the standby state.

In some application scenarios, the display device supports different users to independently set the required reservation tasks, which may occur in the same reservation time corresponding to multiple reservation tasks set by different users, and the tasks are combined to obtain a task set. For example, the reservation task one set by the user a is to reserve and watch the video 1 at 19:30, the reservation task two set by the user B is to reserve and record the television program broadcasted on the channel 2 at 19:30 on the same day, the reservation task three set by the user C is to reserve and watch the television program broadcasted on the channel 3 at 19:30 on the same day, and the reservation task one, the reservation task two and the reservation task three correspond to the same reservation time, so that the task set is { reservation task one, reservation task two, reservation task }.

The reservation task II belongs to a target type task and can execute a background recording mode; the reservation task I and the reservation task III both belong to reservation watching types, and videos reserved for watching are different, if only the user A is in place at present, the video 1 appointed by the reservation task I occupies decoding and playing resources of display equipment, the program of the channel 3 appointed by the reservation task III is not played any more, and the program of the channel 3 can be recorded in a background so that a subsequent user C can watch the reserved program but not watch the program in time through a recording file; if only the user C is in place currently, enabling the channel 3 program appointed by the reservation task three to occupy the decoding and playing resources of the display device, and enabling the video 1 appointed by the reservation task one not to be played any more, and enabling the background to record the video 1 so that the subsequent user A can watch the video 1 which is reserved but not watched in time through the recording file; if the user a and the user C are in position at the same time, and the display device supports decoding and playing of only one path of video, there is a task execution conflict, the user a and the user C need to negotiate which path to play, and the other path which is not selected can be switched to a background recording mode or cancelled.

In an exemplary implementation manner, before the appointment time is reached, if a plurality of appointment tasks set by different users corresponding to the same appointment time are detected, combining to obtain a task set; carrying out user identification on the peripheral area of the display equipment to acquire the number and the identity of the users in place; determining whether a task execution conflict exists in the task set or not according to the number and the identity of the users in position, the corresponding relation between the users and the reserved tasks and the types of the reserved tasks in the task set; if no task execution conflict is determined, synchronously executing multiple reservation tasks in the task set according to a matched mode, for example, according to the foregoing example, it is detected that only one user a is currently in place, and the execution mode matched with the task set is to start playing the video 1 specified by the reservation task one on the 19:30 display device, so that the user a watches the video 1 on time, and simultaneously, the background starts recording the channel 2 program specified by the reservation task two and the channel 3 program specified by the reservation task three, respectively, thereby realizing synchronous execution of multiple tasks at the same reservation time.

In an exemplary implementation manner, if a task execution conflict exists, a third prompt popup is displayed, a conflict task list is displayed in the third prompt popup, the conflict task list comprises at least two reserved tasks with conflicts, a user who is currently in place finally selects an item target task from the conflict task list, execution of the target task is started at a reserved time, and for other tasks except the target task in the conflict task list, the task can be switched to a background mode or cancelled to be executed according to a task type decision, for example, a reserved viewing type task can be switched to a background recording mode; for another example, since the user is required to participate in the game operation for the reserved game play task, the background mode cannot be switched and execution can only be cancelled.

In an exemplary implementation, referring to the third prompt popup illustrated in fig. 11, according to the foregoing example, when the user a and the user C are in position at the same time, and there is a task execution conflict between the first scheduled task and the third scheduled task, the third prompt popup displays prompt information, a conflict task list, a third confirmation control, and a third cancellation control. The prompt message is used to prompt the user to select a target task from the conflict task list, for example, the prompt message in fig. 11 is "please select an appointment task to be started from the following table.

In an exemplary implementation, referring to fig. 11, the ID of each reservation task having a conflict, that is, a reservation task one and a reservation task three, are listed in the conflict task list, and task information of each reservation task is also displayed, for example, the reservation task one is a reservation task for a user a to watch a video 1 at about 19:30, and the reservation task three is a reservation task for a user C to watch a television program broadcasted on a channel 3 at about 19:30, so that the user identifies the tasks and makes a selection intention. Each reservation task is provided with a corresponding selection control, and when a user clicks a certain selection control, the reservation task corresponding to the selection control is selected as a target task.

In an exemplary implementation manner, referring to fig. 11, after the user selects a target task in the conflict task list, if the user clicks a third confirmation control, that is, confirms the selected target task, for example, the user selects a reservation task one from the list, when the reservation time is reached, the reservation task one is played, and the reservation task three that is not selected belongs to a reservation viewing type, and may be switched to be executed in a background recording mode, or to cancel the playing and not switch to the background recording (that is, directly cancel the execution).

In an exemplary implementation manner, referring to fig. 11, no matter whether the user selects the target task in the conflict task list, if the user clicks the third cancel control, the user defaults to the idle selection, and the video/program specified by any one of the first reservation task and the third reservation task may be switched to the background recording mode, or the playing is cancelled and the background recording is not switched at the same time.

In an exemplary implementation manner, referring to fig. 11, when the user selects the first scheduled task in the table as the target task, when the scheduled time 19:30 is reached, the video 1 is played for the user a to watch, and the third scheduled task belongs to a scheduled watching type, and can be switched to a background recording mode, so that the subsequent user C can watch the program broadcasted by the 19:30 channel 3 by watching the recording file, and for this, it can be set as default to automatically switch the third scheduled task to an execution mode of background recording, or to ask the user whether to allow switching to the background recording mode through a popup window.

In an exemplary implementation, after the user selects the appointment task one in the third prompt popup illustrated in fig. 11 and clicks the third confirmation control, a fourth prompt popup as illustrated in fig. 12 may be further displayed, where the fourth prompt popup includes fourth query information, a fourth confirmation control, and a fourth cancellation control. The fourth inquiry information is used for inquiring whether the user allows the background to synchronously record the television program appointed by the reserved task three, if the user clicks the fourth confirmation control, the video 1 is played when the reserved time is 19:30, and the background records the television program currently played on the channel 3; if the user clicks the fourth cancel control, the reservation task three is not switched to the execution mode of background recording, that is, when the reservation time 19:30 is reached, only the video 1 is played, the television program played in the channel 3 is not played nor background recording is executed, that is, the reservation task three is completely cancelled and executed. Whether the reservation task which conflicts with the selected target task is converted into a background mode or not is inquired through the fourth prompt popup, so that the execution of the reservation task is more in line with the user requirements, and the user experience is improved.

In an exemplary implementation manner, a first prompt popup is displayed firstly in time sequence, a second prompt popup is displayed after the system is started regularly, and a third prompt popup is displayed if a task execution conflict exists. For example, if it is detected that N reservation tasks (N is a positive integer greater than 1) correspond to the same reservation time, a corresponding first prompt popup may be generated for each reservation task (that is, N first prompt pops are displayed), but when the number N of reservation tasks concentrated in the same reservation time is large, the multi-popup query method may cause the user to perform cumbersome operations. In other implementation manners, referring to fig. 11 adaptively, N reservation tasks are listed in a single first prompt popup in a list mode, if a user clicks a first cancel control, the default is a null selection, and the N reservation tasks are not reminded and executed after being started up at regular time in the following process; and if the user clicks the first confirmation control after at least one reservation task is selected from the table, subsequently reminding and executing the reservation task.

In an exemplary implementation manner, no matter what form of the previous implementation manner is selected by the first prompt popup, the N reservation tasks corresponding to the same reservation time are set to form a first task set, the controller counts M reservation tasks selected by the user from the first task set and allowed to be started at a fixed time in a target state and to be reminded of the reservation tasks, the M reservation tasks form a second task set, the second task set is a subset of the first task set, and the other N-M unselected reservation tasks do not carry out task reminding and execution.

In other exemplary implementations, the first prompt popup may be an overall query for all N reserved tasks, for example, the first query message is "is allowed to be turned on at a standby state and prompt for any task reserved at 19: 30? If the user clicks the first confirmation control, the default is M ═ N, that is, the second task set is the full set of the first task set; if the user clicks the first cancel control, the default M is 0, that is, the second task set is an empty set.

In an exemplary implementation manner, if M is 0, that is, the second task set is an empty set, the timed power-on mode remains in the off state, the display device directly enters the target state, the timed power-on in the target state is not executed any more, and the reminding and execution flow of the reserved task to be executed after the timed power-on is not executed, during which, if the user actively powers on the display device, the display device resumes the power-on state, and processes according to the reminding and execution flow of the reserved task in the power-on state.

In an exemplary implementation manner, if M is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N, that is, the second task set is a non-empty subset of the first task set, the timing startup mode is started, and the display device enters a target state; and when the preset starting time is reached, the display equipment is automatically started and reminds the M reserved tasks.

In an exemplary implementation manner, if M is 1, after the display device is started regularly, only one second prompt popup needs to be displayed, and a single task does not have a task execution conflict, and a third prompt popup is not displayed.

In an exemplary implementation manner, if M is greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to N, after the display device is started up at regular time, M second prompt popup windows may be generated and displayed in one example, and if the value of M is large, the multi-popup window inquiry manner may cause the user to have complicated operations; in another example, referring to fig. 11 adaptively, M reservation tasks are listed in a single second prompt popup in a list mode, and if the user clicks a second cancel control, the user defaults to idle and cancels execution of the M reservation tasks; and if the user clicks the second confirmation control after at least one reservation task is selected from the table, the selected reservation task needs to be executed subsequently.

In an exemplary implementation, no matter what form of the previous implementation is selected by the second prompt popup, the controller counts K reserved tasks selected by the user from the second set of tasks that are allowed to be executed at a reserved time, the K reserved tasks forming a third set of tasks, the third set of tasks being a subset of the second set of tasks. In addition, M-K unselected reserved tasks are cancelled.

In one exemplary implementation, if K is 0, i.e., the third set of tasks is an empty set, then no reservation tasks are executed at the upcoming reservation time.

In an exemplary implementation, if K is 1, it is stated that only one reserved task needs to be executed at the upcoming reserved time, and no task execution conflict exists for a single task, and no third prompt popup is displayed.

In an exemplary implementation manner, if K is greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to M, whether a task execution conflict exists in the third task set is determined according to the number and the identity of the users who are currently in position, the corresponding relation between the users and the reserved tasks, and the types of the reserved tasks in the third task set. If no task execution conflict exists, synchronously executing the multiple tasks in the third task set according to the well matched mode; and if the task execution conflict exists, displaying a third prompt popup, and planning whether each task in the third task set is executed or not and an execution mode (playing/background processing) according to the selection of the user through the third prompt popup, thereby avoiding the task execution conflict.

It should be noted that the UI shown in the drawings and embodiments of the present application is only exemplary, and particularly, the UI design and application in an actual scene are subject to the standard.
