Abstract

When the display device receives control information sent by a user and displays a setting menu for the first time or when the display device displays the setting menu and receives a device information change signal of the display device, if the item for displaying the focus at present is identified to be an unavailable item, a target item for displaying the focus, namely a first available item adjacent to the item for displaying the focus at present is determined at first, and the target item is used as the focus item to display the focus. Therefore, when the display equipment displays the setting menu, the focus is automatically moved to the available items so as to ensure the display effect of the focus, and the user does not need to interact to find the focus, so that the experience of the user can be effectively improved.

Description

Display device and display method of focus

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of intelligent display equipment, in particular to display equipment and a display method of a focus.

Background

The display device is a terminal device capable of outputting a specific display picture, and may be a terminal device such as a smart television, a mobile terminal, a smart advertisement screen, and a projector. Taking an intelligent television as an example, the intelligent television is based on an Internet application technology, is provided with an open operating system and a chip, is provided with an open application platform, can realize a bidirectional man-machine interaction function, integrates multiple functions of video, entertainment, data and the like, and is a television product for meeting diversified and personalized requirements of users.

The user provides various setting menus through the display device to set related parameters of the display device, for example, the user sets sound parameters related to a sound emitting device of the display device through a sound device menu provided by the display device. The display device typically indicates, via the focus, the item that the user is currently hovering over the settings menu, and if the focus is hovering over an unavailable item, the focus will be overwhelmed by the unavailable item, typically with color indicators, causing the user to not see the focus, creating the effect of lost focus. In order for a user to find focus, the focus needs to be moved to an available item by interacting with the display device to display the focus. Therefore, once the focus is located on an unavailable item, the user is not only confused about the operation of controlling the focus, but also needs to interact with the display device for multiple times to display the focus again, and the experience of the user is seriously reduced.

Disclosure of Invention

When the focus is identified to be located on an unavailable item, the focus is automatically moved to the available item so as to avoid the situation that the focus is submerged by a color identifier, and meanwhile, the process that a user finds the focus through interaction with the display device is omitted so as to improve the experience of the user.

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

a display configured to display a user interface with a setup menu;

a controller configured to:

receiving a control instruction sent by a user, wherein the control instruction is used for indicating display of a setting menu, the setting menu comprises at least one first item and at least one second item, one of the at least one first item and the at least one second item is a preset focus item, the first item is an available item, the second item is an unavailable item, and the preset focus item is an item with a preset display focus in the setting menu;

responding to the control instruction, and displaying the setting menu;

when the preset focus item is the second item, the focus is displayed on a first target item, wherein the first target item is a first item adjacent to the preset focus item.

In one implementation, the controller is further configured to:

when the setting menu is displayed, if an equipment information change signal is received, displaying an updated setting menu, wherein the updated setting menu comprises at least one third item, at least one fourth item and a current focus item, the third item is an available item after equipment information is changed, the fourth item is an unavailable item after equipment information is changed, and the current focus item is an item for displaying the focus in the setting menu;

wherein, when the current focus item is changed from the first item to the fourth item, the focus is displayed on a second target item, which is a first third item adjacent to the current focus item.

In a second aspect, the present application provides a method for displaying a focus, which is applied to a display device, and the method includes:

responding to the control instruction, and displaying the setting menu;

In one implementation, the method further comprises:

As can be seen from the above technical solution, when the display device receives control information sent by a user and displays a setting menu for the first time, or when the display device receives a device information change signal of the display device while displaying the setting menu, if it is recognized that an item currently displaying a focus is an unavailable item, a target item for displaying the focus, that is, a first available item adjacent to the item currently displaying the focus, is determined first, and the target item is used as a focus item to display the focus. Therefore, when the display equipment displays the setting menu, the focus is automatically moved to the available items so as to ensure the display effect of the focus, and the user does not need to interact to find the focus, so that the experience of the user can be effectively improved.

A commonly used presentation form of the User Interface is a Graphical User Interface (GUI), which refers to a User Interface related to computer operations and displayed in a graphical manner. It may be an interface element such as an icon, a window, a control, etc. displayed in the display screen of the electronic device, where the control may include at least one of an icon, a button, a menu, a tab, a text box, a dialog box, a status bar, a navigation bar, a Widget, etc. visual interface elements.

Referring to fig. 5, in some embodiments, the system is divided into four layers, which are an Application (Applications) layer (abbreviated as "Application layer"), an Application Framework (Application Framework) layer (abbreviated as "Framework layer"), an Android runtime (Android runtime) and system library layer (abbreviated as "system runtime library layer"), and a kernel layer, respectively, from top to bottom.

In some embodiments, at least one application program runs in the application program layer, and the application programs may be windows (windows) programs carried by an operating system, system setting programs, clock programs or the like; or an application developed by a third party developer. In particular implementations, the application packages in the application layer are not limited to the above examples.

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

As shown in fig. 5, in the embodiment of the present application, the application framework layer includes a manager (Managers), a Content Provider (Content Provider), and the like, where the manager includes at least one of the following modules: an Activity Manager (Activity Manager) is used for interacting with all activities running in the system; the Location Manager (Location Manager) is used for providing the system service or application with the access of the system Location service; a Package Manager (Package Manager) for retrieving various information related to an application Package currently installed on the device; a Notification Manager (Notification Manager) for controlling display and clearing of Notification messages; a Window Manager (Window Manager) is used to manage the icons, windows, toolbars, wallpapers, and desktop components on a user interface.

The user changes the relevant parameters of the display device 200 through various setting menus provided by the display device 200, wherein the setting menus include a plurality of items indicating the corresponding parameters, in the embodiment, the items in the setting menus have item names (generally corresponding to the names of the parameters), and the items can include various forms, such as options, text boxes, progress bars, keys, and the like. A focus is displayed in the setting menu to indicate an item, at which the user currently stays, through the focus, wherein the item displaying the focus may be referred to as a focus item. The items in the setting menu include two types, i.e., usable items and unusable items. In this embodiment, the available items refer to items that can respond to a user instruction, that is, items that can perform operations such as changing information and changing states. The unavailable item refers to an item which is prohibited from responding to a user instruction, that is, an item for which an operation of changing information, changing a state, or the like is not possible. The type of the item corresponds to the device information of the display device 200, i.e., the type of the item dynamically changes as the device information of the display device 200 changes. For example, the type of the "Sound Mode" item in the Sound setting menu dynamically changes depending on whether the device information "is an Audio Return Channel (ARC) device connected", and if the device information is "ARC device unconnected", the type of the "Sound Mode" item is an available item; if the device information is "connected ARC device", the type of the "Sound Mode" item is an unavailable item. To prompt the user that an item is unavailable, an identification may be displayed on the unavailable item, e.g., graying out the unavailable item.

In the process that the user moves the focus on the setting menu by manipulating the control device 100, if the focus is to be moved to an unavailable item based on the movement instruction of the user, since the identification of the unavailable item is displayed in preference to the focus, that is, if the focus is located in the unavailable item, only the unavailable item is displayed, the focus is not displayed, and the focus is lost. To avoid the loss of focus, the display device 200, in response to a user's instruction, directly displays focus across the unavailable item on the first available item adjacent to the unavailable item. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 6, when the display device 200 receives a move instruction (move the focus downward) sent by the user, the focus is displayed on an Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) item (shown by a bold black line) in the sound device menu, and in response to the move instruction, the focus is about to be displayed on a television Speaker (TV Speaker) item, which is currently an unavailable item and is in a grayed-out state. If the focus is directly placed on the item of "television Speaker (TV Speaker)", the focus cannot be displayed, resulting in the effect of focus loss. In order to avoid the focus loss, the focus is displayed on the first available item adjacent to the "television Speaker (TV Speaker)" item, such as the "Advanced Settings" item (shown by a thick black line box) shown in fig. 6 (c), so as to improve the user experience.

As can be seen, the above-mentioned manner for avoiding the focus loss is based on the process of focus movement, and the focus is directly displayed on the available item by crossing over the unavailable item in response to the movement instruction of the user. However, if the user does not currently control the focus to move, for example, when the setting menu is displayed for the first time, or when the device information is changed, once the current focus item is an unavailable item, if the setting menu is directly displayed, the focus cannot be displayed because the focus is located on the unavailable item, which results in the effect of losing the focus, and at this time, the focus can be redisplayed by moving the focus only through the interaction between the user and the display device 200, that is, sending a movement instruction. Therefore, under the above circumstances, the user needs to not only experience focus loss, but also perform additional operations to display the focus, and the focus display effect is poor, and the display needs to be based on additional interaction, resulting in a reduction in user experience.

Example 1

In order to solve the problem of focus loss when the setting menu is initially displayed, a flow shown in fig. 7 may be adopted to display focus when the setting menu is initially displayed, specifically as follows:

s701, receiving a control instruction sent by a user, wherein the control instruction is used for indicating a display setting menu.

When the display device 200 receives a control instruction sent by a user, no setting menu is displayed thereon, or a setting menu to be subjected to parameter modification is not displayed, and it can be considered that the display device 200 displays the setting menu for the first time in such a scenario. As shown in fig. 8, the user may move the focus to an icon corresponding to the setting menu, for example, a "sound setting" icon, by manipulating the control device 100, for example, by pressing an "up", "down", "left", and "right" key on the remote controller, and then send a control instruction to the display apparatus 200 by pressing an "confirm" key on the remote controller, so as to instruct the display apparatus 200 to display the corresponding setting menu, i.e., the sound setting menu.

And S702, responding to the control instruction, and displaying the setting menu.

When the setting menu is displayed for the first time, an item for displaying a focus, that is, a preset focus item, is generally set in advance. For example, the preset focus item is the first item of the setting menu, or is an item located in the middle of the setting menu, or is a specified item set based on user preferences, and the like. When the display apparatus 200 displays the setting menu, the default focus is positioned on the preset focus item. However, in order to solve the problem that the focus is lost when the preset focus item is currently an unavailable item and the focus is directly displayed on the preset focus item, the display device 200 first determines whether the preset focus item is identified as an unavailable item in response to the control instruction, and adjusts the focus item to display the focus when the preset focus item is an unavailable item, as follows:

as can be seen from the above, the item types of the items in the setting menu dynamically change along with the device information of the display device, and after the display device 200 receives the control instruction sent by the user, the current device information of the display device 200 is first detected, and in this embodiment, the current device information at least includes information related to the setting menu to be displayed.

As for the above example, the setting menu to be displayed is the "sound setting menu", and the current device information at least includes "whether to connect the ARC device".

The display apparatus 200 divides the item types of all items in the setting menu based on the acquired current apparatus information. In the present embodiment, the available item is referred to as a first item, and the unavailable item is referred to as a second item. In some embodiments, the device information corresponding to each item in the setting menu may be the same or different. In this embodiment, only the device information corresponding to at least two items in the setting menu is different, and the device information corresponding to the at least two items cannot appear at the same time, that is, the at least two items correspond to two item types at the same time. Based on this, all items in the setting menu are divided, and the divided items include at least one first item and at least one second item. Wherein an indication is displayed on the second item to indicate that the second item is not available, e.g., graying out the second item.

Illustratively, the sound setting menu is still taken as an example, and the sound setting menu includes an "sound mode" item, an "Audio Output (Audio Output)" item, an "enhanced Audio return channel" item, a "television speaker" item, a "Dolby Audio (Dolby Atmos)" item, a "Wall mounted setting (Wall Mount Setup)" item, and an "advanced setting" item, which all correspond to the device information "whether the ARC device is connected" and dynamically changes. When the device information is the 'ARC device not connected', the 'sound mode' item, the 'television speaker' item, the 'dolby panoram' item and the 'wall-mounted setting' item are the first item, and the 'audio output' item, the 'enhanced audio return channel' item and the 'advanced setting' item are the second item. When the device information is "ARC device connected", the "audio output" item, the "enhanced audio return channel" item, and the "advanced setting" item are first items, and the "sound mode" item, the "television speaker" item, the "dolby panound" item, and the "wall-mount setting" item are second items.

The display device 200, in response to a control instruction sent by a user, acquires current device information "ARC device connected", and the display device 200 divides the item types of all items in the sound setting menu, and obtains "audio output" item, "enhanced audio return channel" item, and "advanced setting" item as a first item, and "sound mode" item, "television speaker" item, "dolby panound" item, and "wall-hanging setting" item as a second item. Wherein the "sound mode" item, the "television speaker" item, the "dolby panone" item, and the "wall mount setting" item are grayed out to indicate that these second items are not available.

As can be seen from the above, the setting menus all have corresponding preset focus items, the display device 200 obtains a corresponding relationship between the setting menus and the preset focus items, and determines the preset focus items on the setting menus based on the corresponding relationship, as shown in (r) in fig. 9, where the preset focus item (shown by a dashed box) corresponding to the sound setting menu is the first item, i.e., the "sound mode" item. When the current device information of the display device 200 is "ARC device not connected", as shown by (r) in fig. 9, the "sound mode" item is the first item, i.e., the available item. In this case, since the preset focus item is an available item, the display of the focus is not affected, and thus, the display apparatus 200 directly takes the preset focus item "sound mode" as the focus item (shown with a thick black line frame) of the final display focus and displays the focus on the preset focus item "sound mode" as shown in (ii) of fig. 9 in response to the control instruction.

When the preset focus item is the second item, the display apparatus 200 needs to re-determine the focus item (defined as the first target item in the present embodiment) of the final display focus to move the focus onto the first target item for display.

In some embodiments, the display device 200 identifies the position of the preset focus item in the setting menu based on the corresponding relationship between the setting menu and the preset focus item, and further determines that the preset focus item is the first item in the setting menu, as shown in (r) in fig. 10, the preset focus item is a "sound mode" item. In this embodiment, if the current device information acquired by the display device 200 is "connected ARC device", the "sound mode" item is the second item, that is, the unavailable item. At this time, the preset focus item cannot be used as the focus item of the final display focus, and the first target item of the display focus needs to be newly determined.

Whether each item is the first target item can be sequentially judged by taking the arrangement sequence of each item in the setting menu as a judgment sequence. Taking the sound setting menu shown in fig. 10 as an example, if the arrangement order of the items in the sound setting menu is from top to bottom, the corresponding determination order is also from top to bottom. If other forms of setting menus are adopted, for example, the arrangement sequence in the setting menus is from left to right, the corresponding judgment sequence is from left to right; if the items in the menu are arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns, the corresponding arrangement sequence is from left to right in each row and from top to bottom between the rows, then the corresponding judgment sequence is from left to right in each row and from top to bottom between the rows. The setting menu may set an arrangement order of each item according to user requirements, design requirements, and the like, and the arrangement order of each item is not limited in this embodiment. Taking the sound setting menu shown in fig. 10 as an example, it is sequentially determined whether each item is a first target item in a determination sequence from top to bottom with the first item as a starting point, where the first target item is a first item adjacent to a preset focus item. As can be seen from fig. 10 (a), if the first item adjacent to the preset focus item is the "audio output" item, the first target item is the "audio output" item, and as shown in fig. 10 (b), the display device 200 moves the focus to the first target item, i.e., the "audio output" item for display (shown by a thick black line frame), and the preset focus item is displayed in gray. Thus, the setting menu displayed by the display device 200 does not cause the focus loss effect, and the experience of the user can be effectively ensured.

In some embodiments, the display device 200 identifies the position of the preset focus item in the setting menu based on the corresponding relationship between the setting menu and the preset focus item, and further determines that the preset focus item is not the first item in the setting menu, as shown in fig. 11 (r), the preset focus item is a "dolby panoramic sound" item, in this embodiment, the display device 200 acquires that the current device information is a "connected ARC device", and the "dolby panoramic sound" item is a second item, that is, an unavailable item. At this time, the preset focus item cannot be used as the focus item of the final display focus, and the first target item of the display focus needs to be newly determined.

The default focus item is usually a starting point item commonly used by the user by default, so as to ensure that the first target item is adjacent to the default focus item as much as possible, so as to ensure that the finally displayed starting point item (first target item) is adjacent to the default starting point item (default focus item), so as to meet the operation habit of the user. In this embodiment, since the preset focus item is not the first item, that is, the preset focus item is taken as a dividing point, other items can be classified into two categories according to the arrangement sequence of the items, one category is the first part of items with the arrangement sequence before the preset focus item, that is, the "sound mode" item, the "audio output" item, the "enhanced audio return channel" item, and the "television speaker" item, and the other category is the second part of items with the arrangement sequence after the preset focus item, that is, the "wall-hanging setting" item and the "advanced setting" item. Based on this, it is necessary to alternately judge the first partial item and the second partial item with the preset focus item as a starting point to ensure that the determined first target item is the first item adjacent to the preset focus item. And judging each item between the first part of items and the second part of items according to an alternate judgment mode, sequentially judging the first part of items according to a first judgment order, and sequentially judging the second part of items according to a second judgment order. The first determination order is an inverse order of an arrangement order of items in the setting menu, such as the sound setting menu shown in (r) in fig. 11, and the first determination order is from bottom to top. The second judgment order still adopts the arrangement order of the items in the setting menu, such as the sound setting menu shown in (11), and the second judgment order is from top to bottom.

The above-mentioned judgment logic for other items can refer to the schematic diagrams shown in fig. 12(1) and fig. 12(2), and record the position P of the focus, that is, the corresponding bit sequence of the item in which the focus is located in the arrangement sequence of each item. Meanwhile, a movement amount I of the focus, which is the number of items that the focus moves on the setting menu from the preset focus item as a starting point, I ═ 0, which is the movement amount of the focus 0, that is, the number of items that the focus moves on the setting menu is 0, that is, the focus is still located at the preset focus item, is recorded. The change in the amount of movement of the focus satisfies I +1, i.e., moves one item at a time in increments. The position of the focus is such that the position of the focus is P-I on the first part of items and the position of the focus is P + I on the second part of items, respectively. The first target item is determined by alternately judging whether the P-I item and the P + I item are the first items. In one implementation, the above-mentioned sequence of the alternation determination is as shown in fig. 12(1), and with I equal to 0 as a starting point, first, the movement amount of the focus of one item is increased by I equal to I +1, and the P-1 th item and the P +1 th item are sequentially determined, and then the movement amount of the focus of one item is increased by I equal to I +1, and the position of the focus after the movement is determined by the movement amount of the focus after the change, and the item corresponding to the focus after the movement is determined, thereby completing the process of the alternation determination of the items. In another implementation, the above-mentioned sequence of the alternation determination is as shown in fig. 12(2), starting from I being 0, first, the movement amount of the focus of one item is increased by I +1, and the P +1 th item and the P-1 th item are sequentially determined, and then the movement amount of the focus of one item is increased by I +1, and the position of the focus after the focus movement is determined by the movement amount of the focus after the change, and the item corresponding to the focus after the movement is determined, thereby completing the process of the alternation determination of the items. In both of the above two implementation manners, the determination process is ended when the first target focus position is determined.

Taking the sound setting menu shown in (r) in fig. 11 as an example, the judgment logic shown in (1) in fig. 12 is used to determine the first target item. The initial position P of the focus, that is, the rank of the preset focus item in each item, where P is 5, starting from I being 0, the first round of determination is that I being 0+1 being 1, first, it is determined that the 5-1 th item is 4, that is, it is determined whether the fourth item "television speaker" in the sound setting menu is the first item, and then, it is determined that the 5+1 th item is 6, that is, it is determined whether the 6 th item "wall-mounted setting" in the sound setting menu is the first item, and as a result, both items are the second item, and then, the second round of determination is performed. The second round of determination is similar to the first round of determination, and the second round of determination is that I is 1+1 is 2, and first, it is determined that the 5-2 is 3 items, that is, it is determined whether the 3 rd item "enhanced audio return channel" in the sound setting menu is the first item, and since the "enhanced audio return channel" item is the first item, it is determined that the "enhanced audio return channel" item is the first item adjacent to the preset focus item, that is, the first target item, and the determination process is terminated. As shown in fig. 11, the focus is displayed on the first target item "enhanced audio return channel", and the preset focus item "dolby panoramas" is grayed out. Thus, the setting menu displayed by the display device 200 does not cause the focus loss effect, and the experience of the user can be effectively ensured.

In this embodiment, when the display device 200 responds to a control instruction of a user and displays a setting menu for the first time, if the display device 200 detects that a preset focus item of the setting menu is a second item, that is, an unavailable item, before the setting menu is displayed, the focus is automatically moved to a first item adjacent to the preset focus item, that is, to a first target item, so as to ensure that the focus can be normally displayed, and the setting menu after the focus is moved is directly displayed, so that the problem that the focus is lost in the displayed setting menu is avoided, and meanwhile, an additional operation of finding the focus by the user is not required, so that the experience of the user is improved.

Example 2

In order to solve the problem that when a setting menu is displayed, the item where the focus is currently located is changed into an unavailable item due to the change of the device information, so that the focus is lost, the focus can be displayed when the device information is changed according to the following process.

In the current situation that the display device 200 displays the setting menu, if the device information change signal is received, for example, a change instruction for changing the device information is received through the control apparatus 100 or directly transmitted by the user, or a change in the interface connection state is detected. The display apparatus 200 acquires the changed apparatus information based on the apparatus information change signal, and re-divides the item types of the items in the setting menu based on the changed apparatus information. In one implementation, the display apparatus 200 acquires all relevant apparatus information including unchanged apparatus information and changed apparatus information based on the apparatus information change signal, and re-divides the item types of all items based on all apparatus information. In another implementation, the display apparatus 200 acquires only changed device information among all the device information based on the device information change signal without acquiring unchanged device information again, determines related items in the setup menu based on the correspondence between the changed device information and the items, and re-divides only item types of the related items. In the present embodiment, the focus item in the setting menu displayed when the display apparatus 200 receives the apparatus information change signal may be defined as the current focus item. The display apparatus 200 determines whether it is necessary to newly determine a focus item for displaying a focus, i.e., a second target item, by recognizing whether an item type of a currently focused item is an unavailable item, in order to avoid a problem of focus loss. In this embodiment, an available item in each item after the device information is changed is defined as a third item, and an unavailable item in each item after the device information is changed is defined as a fourth item.

In some embodiments, if the display apparatus 200 determines that the current focus item is the third item, the display form may be modified only in correspondence to the item type of the other item, by still using the current focus item as the focus item of the final display focus without moving the position of the focus.

If the display apparatus 200 determines that the current focus item is the fourth item, the display apparatus 200 needs to re-determine the focus item (i.e., the second target item) of the final display focus to move the focus onto the second target item for display.

In some embodiments, the display apparatus 200 recognizes the position of the current focus item in the setting menu, and further determines that the current focus item is the first item in the setting menu, as shown in (r) in fig. 13, the current focus item is a "sound mode" item (shown in a dotted-line box). In the present embodiment, if the changed device information acquired by the display device 200 is "connected ARC device", the "sound mode" item is the fourth item, that is, the unavailable item. At this time, the current focus item cannot be the focus item of the final display focus, and the second target item of the display focus needs to be newly determined.

Whether each item is the second target item can be sequentially judged by taking the arrangement sequence of each item in the setting menu as a judgment sequence. In the process of determining whether each item is the second target item in this embodiment, reference may be made to the process of determining whether each item is the first target item in the sequence by taking the arrangement sequence of each item in the setting menu as the determination sequence in embodiment 1, which is not described herein again. As can be seen from fig. 13 (a), if the first and third items adjacent to the currently focused item are "audio output" items, the second target item is "audio output" item, and as shown in fig. 13 (b), the display device 200 moves the focus to the second target item "audio output" for display (shown by a thick black line frame), and the currently focused item is displayed in gray. Thus, the setting menu displayed by the display device 200 does not cause the focus loss effect, and the experience of the user can be effectively ensured.

In some embodiments, the display apparatus 200 identifies the position of the current focus item in the setting menu, and further determines that the current focus item is not the first item in the setting menu, as shown in (r) in fig. 14, the current focus item is a "dolby panone" item (shown in a dashed box). In the present embodiment, if the changed device information acquired by the display device 200 is "connected ARC device", the item of "dolby panoramas" is the fourth item, that is, the unavailable item. At this time, the current focus item cannot be the focus item of the final display focus, and the second target item of the display focus needs to be newly determined.

In this embodiment, since the current focus item is not the first item, that is, the current focus item is taken as a dividing point, other items can be classified into two categories according to the arrangement order of the items, one category is the third portion of items, that is, the "sound mode" item, the "audio output" item, the "enhanced audio return channel" item, and the "television speaker" item, which are arranged in front of the current focus item, and the other category is the fourth portion of items, that is, the "wall-hanging setting" item and the "advanced setting" item, which are arranged in back of the current focus item. Based on this, the third partial item and the fourth partial item need to be alternately judged by taking the current focus item as a starting point, so as to ensure that the determined second target item is the first third item adjacent to the current focus item. And judging each item between the third partial items and the fourth partial items according to an alternate judgment mode, sequentially judging the third partial items according to a third judgment order, and sequentially judging the fourth partial items according to a fourth judgment order. Wherein the third determination order is an inverse order of the arrangement order of the items in the setting menu, such as the sound setting menu shown in (r) in fig. 14, and the third determination order is from bottom to top. The fourth determination order still adopts the arrangement order of the items in the setting menu, such as the sound setting menu shown in (r) 14, and the fourth determination order is from top to bottom.

In this embodiment, for a process of alternately determining whether each third partial item and each fourth partial item are second target items, reference may be made to a process of alternately determining whether each first partial item and each second partial item are first target items in embodiment 1, which is not described herein again.

Taking the sound setting menu shown in (r) in fig. 14 as an example, the judgment logic shown in (1) in fig. 12 is used to determine the second target item. The initial position P of the focus, i.e. the ranking of the current focus item in each item, where P is 5, starting from I0, the first round of determination is that I0 +1 is 1, first, the 5-1 th item is determined to be 4, i.e. whether the fourth item "tv speaker" in the sound setting menu is the third item, and then the 5+1 th item is determined to be 6, i.e. whether the 6 th item "wall-mounted setting" in the sound setting menu is the third item. The second round of judgment is similar to the first round of judgment, and the second round of judgment is that I is 1+1 is 2, and the 5-2 is judged to be 3 items, that is, whether the 3 rd item "enhanced audio return channel" in the sound setting menu is the first item is judged, because the "enhanced audio return channel" item is the third item, it is determined that the "enhanced audio return channel" item is the first third item adjacent to the preset focus item, that is, the second target item, and the judgment process is terminated. As shown in fig. 14, the focus is displayed on the second target item "enhanced audio return channel" (shown with a bold black line box), and the current focus item "dolby panoramas" is grayed out. Thus, the setting menu displayed by the display device 200 does not cause the focus loss effect, and the experience of the user can be effectively ensured.

In this embodiment, in the process of displaying the setting menu by the display device 200, once the display device 200 receives the device information change signal and the current focus item is changed to the fourth item, that is, the unavailable item, the display device 200 updates the display of the setting menu, automatically moves the focus to the first third item adjacent to the current focus item, that is, to the second target item, so as to ensure that the focus can be normally displayed, and displays the setting menu after the focus is moved as the updated setting menu, so as to avoid the problem that the focus is lost in the updated setting menu, and meanwhile, the user does not need to perform an additional operation of finding the focus, thereby improving the experience of the user.

As can be seen from the foregoing technical solutions, in the display device and the display method of the focus provided in the foregoing embodiments, when the display device receives control information sent by a user and displays a setting menu for the first time, or when the display device receives a device information change signal of the display device while displaying the setting menu, if it is recognized that an item currently displaying the focus is an unavailable item, a target item for displaying the focus, that is, a first available item adjacent to the item currently displaying the focus is determined first, and the target item is used as a focus item to display the focus. Therefore, when the display equipment displays the setting menu, the focus is automatically moved to the available items so as to ensure the display effect of the focus, and the user does not need to interact to find the focus, so that the experience of the user can be effectively improved.

The embodiments provided in the present application are only a few examples of the general concept of the present application, and do not limit the scope of the present application. Any other embodiments extended according to the scheme of the present application without inventive efforts will be within the scope of protection of the present application for a person skilled in the art.
