In some embodiments, the focus object refers to an object that moves between various menu options according to user input. Illustratively, the focus object location is implemented or identified by drawing a bold line through the menu option edge. In other embodiments, the focus form is not limited to examples, and may be a form in which a cursor or the like is tangible or intangible to a user, such as a form in which a 3D deformation of a menu option or the like is possible, and a mark of a border line, a size, a color, transparency, an outline, and/or a font of a text or an image of the focused menu option may be changed.

Fig. 5 is a schematic view of another function setting menu according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, in fig. 5, when a user operates a control device to move a focus object to input a user instruction indicating a common function option A1, a controller may present a user interface as shown in fig. 5 on a display in response to the user instruction, the function setting menu 40 having a secondary menu 42 corresponding to the common function option A1 displayed therein, the secondary menu 42 corresponding to a detailed menu option of the common function option A1. Namely, an image mode option a11, a sound mode a12, a light source mode a13, and an AI setting option a14. Also, the user can implement a corresponding function according to a rule corresponding to an operated item in response to an operation of selecting any one of menu options by the user when the controller receives the operation by moving the focus object to indicate the selection of the image mode option a11, the sound mode a12, the light source mode a13, and the AI setting option a14.

Similarly, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of another function setting menu according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. In fig. 6, when a user operates the control device to move the focus object to input a user instruction indicating the HDR-enhanced option B1, the controller may present a user interface as shown in fig. 6 on the display in response to the user instruction, the function setting menu 40 having displayed therein a secondary menu 43 corresponding to the HDR-enhanced option B1, the secondary menu 43 corresponding to the detailed menu option of the HDR-enhanced option B1. I.e. comprising an on option B11 and an off option B12. Likewise, the user may instruct selection of the open option B11 or the close option B12 by moving the focus object, and when the controller receives a user selection operation of any one of the menu options, the controller may implement a corresponding function according to a rule corresponding to the operated option in response to the operation.

The above multi-level menu in the function setting menu is constituted by a plurality of level menus, each of which includes a plurality of menu options therein. Illustratively, the multi-level menu includes a primary menu 41 and a secondary menu 42 corresponding to a commonly used function option A1 in the primary menu 41/a secondary menu 43 corresponding to an HDR enhanced option B1 in the primary menu 41. The present application is illustrated only with respect to the multi-level menu of the function setting menus described above, and is not limited in terms of the type of the multi-level menu and the corresponding user interface.

In some embodiments, there may be a scene in which only one menu option is present in any level menu in the function setting menu 40 displayed in the display device 200, in which the user needs to click on the menu option to know the subsequent deeper level options.

Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of another function setting menu according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 7, when the display apparatus 200 detects that only the common function option A1 exists in the primary menu 41 of the function setting menu 40, the user needs to highlight the selected option by moving the focus object to instruct a selection operation of the common function option A1 in response to the selection operation of the user. Meanwhile, when the controller receives a user selection operation of the common function option A1, a corresponding secondary menu 42 is displayed according to the operated common function option A1 in response to the operation. Thus, the user still needs to click on the usual function option A1 to know the subsequent corresponding secondary menu 42. Therefore, the complicated operation of the user can be caused, and the use experience of the user is reduced.

Thus, in order to improve the user experience, in some embodiments, a display device and a menu display method are provided. When the number of menu options existing in the primary menu is smaller and the secondary menu corresponding to the menu option comprises a plurality of sub-options, the display device 200 automatically loads the menu option content in the secondary menu to the display position of the primary menu so as to replace the menu option content of the primary menu, so that a user can directly execute interactive operation on the menu option of the subsequent deeper level without selecting again, and the use experience of the user is improved.

Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of another function setting menu according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 8, when the primary menu 41 includes only one menu option and the menu option includes a plurality of sub-options, the menu option contents in the secondary menu may be replaced with the menu option contents in the primary menu by dynamically loading the secondary menu 42 corresponding to the menu option to the display position of the primary menu 41. Further, the controller presents a function setting menu as shown in fig. 8 on the display in response to a display function setting menu instruction input by the user by triggering a "function" key on the control device.

In order to present the menu described above, the present application provides a display device including: a display configured to display a user interface; it should be noted that, the present application takes the display between the first-level menu and the second-level menu as an example, and does not specifically limit the number of menu levels, the relation between the menu levels and the two-level menu, and can be set according to the actual situation.

The following specifically describes a display device and a menu display method provided by the present application.

Fig. 9 is a flow chart of a menu display method according to some embodiments of the application. Referring to fig. 9, a display device provided in an embodiment of the present application, a controller configured to perform the following steps when a menu display method is performed:

For example, referring to fig. 7, when the user operates the control device to instruct the display of the function setting menu, the display may be triggered by pressing a "function" key on the control device. Wherein the menu display instructions are for the controller to control the user interface in the display to display the function setting menu 40. The preset position in the function setting menu presents a primary menu 41, and the primary menu 41 corresponds to a detailed menu option.

In response to a menu display instruction, the number of menu options in the primary menu is detected.

In some embodiments, the controller detects the number of menu options in the primary menu in response to the menu display instruction. In the process of detecting the number of menu options by the controller, the controller can traverse the primary menu, and the number of menu options in the primary menu can be obtained. For example, the number of menu options of the level one menu 41 in the function setting menu 40 is 2.

And if the number of menu options in the primary menu is smaller than the preset number, acquiring the contents of the secondary menu options associated with the primary menu and the attribute parameters of the primary menu, wherein the attribute parameters are used for rendering the display style of the primary menu.

In some embodiments, by setting the preset number, the controller determines between the number of menu options in the primary menu and the preset number, and if the number of menu options in the primary menu is smaller than the preset number, acquires the content of the secondary menu option associated with the primary menu and the attribute parameter of the primary menu, so that the content of the secondary menu option is loaded into the preset position corresponding to the primary menu based on the attribute parameter of the primary menu. It should be noted that the present application does not specifically limit the preset number, and can be set by itself according to the layout mode of the menu to be displayed, the size of the preset menu display area, and other display parameters.

In some embodiments, before acquiring the content of the second-level menu option associated with the first-level menu and the attribute parameter of the first-level menu, a menu data set corresponding to the first-level menu and the second-level menu is acquired. The menu data set of the first-level menu comprises corresponding attribute parameters and menu option content data, wherein the attribute parameters are used for representing a display style corresponding to the first-level menu, the menu option content data are used for forming option contents in the first-level menu, and each option content in the first-level menu corresponds to data in the menu option content data. Similarly, the data set of the secondary menu includes corresponding attribute parameters and menu option content data. The attribute parameters are used for representing a display style corresponding to the secondary menu, the menu option content data are used for forming option contents in the secondary menu, and each option content in the secondary menu corresponds to data in the menu option content data.

It should be noted that, in the above example, the primary menu and the secondary menu have an association relationship, and in general, the relationship between the primary menu and the secondary menu includes, but is not limited to, a mapping relationship between the two-level menu and the upper-lower-level menu, and a mapping relationship stored in the two-level menu. The application does not limit the relation between the two menus specifically, and can be set specifically according to actual conditions. The present application is illustrated with only two levels of menus up and down.

FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating the composition of a set of target attributes according to some embodiments of the application. In connection with fig. 10, in the step of acquiring the attribute parameters of the primary menu, the display apparatus 200 may compare the attribute parameters of the primary menu and the secondary menu to generate a general attribute set and a specific attribute set; the general attribute set comprises a plurality of identical attribute parameters between the primary menu and the secondary menu, and the special attribute set comprises a plurality of different attribute parameters between the primary menu and the secondary menu.

In some embodiments, the first-level menu and the second-level menu are respectively corresponding to a plurality of attribute parameters, and the general attribute set and the special attribute set are generated by processing the attribute parameters in the first-level menu and the second-level menu. The general attribute set comprises a plurality of identical attribute parameters between the first-level menu and the second-level menu, namely the general set is a common part in the two-level list. The dedicated attribute set includes a plurality of different attribute parameters between the primary menu and the secondary menu.

For example, referring to fig. 7, the same attributes of the primary menu 41 and the secondary menu 42 are title text and text color. The different attributes of the primary menu 41 and the secondary menu 42 are different display positions of the two-level menu, different background styles of the two-level menu, different heights and widths of the two-level menu, different intervals between menu options of the two-level menu, different contents of menu options displayed by the two-level menu, different component parts of menu options displayed by the two-level menu and different styles of menu options displayed by the two-level menu. The two-level menu display menu option has different components, such as a secondary list option with a mark for hooking and a primary list option with a left focus state. The different styles of the two-level menu display menu options comprise different shapes of the two-level menu display menu options, different sizes of the two-level menu display menu options, different background colors of the two-level menu display menu options and the like. The application is illustrated only by the partial attributes in the two-level menu, and the type of the attributes and the corresponding two-level menu cannot be limited to the scheme.

And updating the special attribute set according to the attribute parameters of the primary menu.

In some embodiments, in updating the dedicated attribute set in accordance with the attribute parameters of the level one menu, the controller is configured to: screening the special attribute set to generate a first type attribute and a second type attribute; the first type of attributes are attributes which exist in the secondary menu and do not exist in the primary menu, and the second type of attributes are attributes which do not exist in the secondary menu and do not exist in the primary menu.

In one implementation, in the process of screening the special attribute set, a corresponding relation mapping table of a plurality of different attribute parameters between the primary menu and the secondary menu is established according to the special attribute set. For example, if the primary menu includes display position 1, background color 1, text color blue, menu option left in focus, and menu option size 1. The secondary menu comprises a display position 2, a background color 2, a text color of red, a size 2 of a menu option and a left focus zone bit. Therefore, a mapping relation between the display position 1 of the primary menu and the display position 2 of the secondary menu, a mapping relation between the background color 1 of the primary menu and the background color 2 of the secondary menu, a mapping relation between the text color of the primary menu and the text color of the secondary menu, and a mapping relation between the size 1 of a menu option of the primary menu and the size 2 of a menu option of the secondary menu are established, so that a corresponding relation mapping table is generated. Further, the attribute of the second-level menu corresponding to the first-level menu may be obtained from the established correspondence mapping table.

After the corresponding relation mapping table is established, a first type attribute and a second type attribute can be generated based on the corresponding relation mapping table; the first type of attributes are attributes which exist in the secondary menu and do not exist in the primary menu, and the second type of attributes are attributes which do not exist in the secondary menu and do not exist in the primary menu.

Illustratively, the primary menu includes a display position 1, a background color 1, a text color of blue, a menu option of legacy focus status, and a size 1 of the menu option. The secondary menu comprises a display position 2, a background color 2, a text color of red, a size 2 of a menu option and a left focus zone bit. The first type of attribute includes a legacy focus flag bit and the second type of attribute is that the menu option is legacy focus status.

In one implementation, the display device 200 may update the set of dedicated attributes based on the first type of attribute and the second type of attribute. In the process of updating the special attribute set, the controller deletes the first type attribute from the special attribute set and adds the second type attribute to the special attribute set to obtain the updated special attribute set.

Illustratively, based on the above example, the attributes in the dedicated attribute set include display position 1, background color 1, text color blue, menu option left in focus status, menu option size 1, display position 2, background color 2, text color red, menu option size 2, and left in focus flag bit. And the first type of attribute comprises a legacy focus flag bit, and the second type of attribute is that the menu option is in a legacy focus state. Therefore, after deleting the first type attribute and adding the second type attribute from the dedicated attribute set, the resulting dedicated attribute set is display position 1, background color 1, text color blue, menu option left focus state, size of menu option 1, display position 2, background color 2, text color red, and size of menu option 2.

In one implementation, in the step of deleting the first type of attribute from the dedicated attribute set, the controller further deletes an attribute parameter different from the attribute parameter of the primary menu according to the attribute parameter of the primary menu. Exemplary, the attribute parameters of the primary menu include display position 1, background color 1, text color blue, menu option left in focus, and menu option size 1. And deleting the attribute which is different from the attribute parameter of the primary menu from the obtained special attribute set. The updated special attribute set is display position 1, background color 1, text color blue, menu option left focus state and menu option size 1.

Therefore, the attribute parameters without mapping relation are constructed and supplemented based on the mapping relation table in the special attribute set. And deleting attribute parameters different from the attribute parameters of the first-level menu according to the attribute parameters of the first-level menu to obtain an updated special attribute set.

S23, integrating the updated special attribute set and the updated general attribute set to generate a target attribute set, so as to acquire attribute parameters of the first-level menu according to the target attribute set.

And after the special attribute set is updated, integrating the updated special attribute set with the general attribute set to generate a target attribute set. Therefore, the attribute parameters in the target attribute set all correspond to the attribute parameters in the first level menu.

Illustratively, if a text size of 10 is included in the primary menu and the text background is red. Also included in the secondary menu is a text size of 10 and a text background of red. The common set of properties is the same property parameters in the primary and secondary menus, i.e. including text size 10 and text background red. And integrating the general attribute set based on the updated special attribute set to generate a target attribute set. Thus, the generated set of target properties includes text size 10, text background red, display position 1, background color 1, text color blue, menu option left in focus state, and menu option size 1.

And displaying the contents of the secondary menu options at preset positions based on the attribute parameters.

In some embodiments, the display device 200 may translate the secondary menu option content into a display style of the primary menu according to the set of target properties, generating the target list. And displaying the target list at a preset position to realize loading the menu option content in the secondary menu to the display position of the primary menu and replacing the menu option content of the primary menu.

For example, the primary menu and the secondary menu are maintained in list form, referring to fig. 11, a secondary list is corresponding to a menu option in each primary list, and a plurality of menu options are corresponding to each secondary list. FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of generating a target list according to some embodiments of the application. Referring to fig. 12, in converting the contents of the secondary menu options into a display style of the primary menu according to the target attribute set, first, the secondary list is converted into a new secondary list according to the obtained target attribute set, and the display style of the new secondary list is identical to the display style of the primary list. Then, the new secondary list is replaced with the primary list, and a new primary list is generated. In this way, a new primary list is displayed at a preset position, and the menu option content in the secondary menu is loaded to the display position of the primary menu to replace the menu option content of the primary menu. The user can directly know the options of the subsequent deeper hierarchy without selecting again, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In some embodiments, there will typically be a scenario where there is only one menu option in the primary menu. If there is only one menu option in the primary menu, in the scenario where the controller is configured to: acquiring the content of a secondary menu option corresponding to the menu option and the attribute parameters of a primary menu; generating a target list based on the attribute parameters and the secondary menu option content, wherein the target list comprises the secondary menu option content; the list of objects is displayed in a preset position while hiding the primary menu in the user interface.

Illustratively, FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of a generated target list according to some embodiments of the application. Referring to fig. 13, first, a secondary list corresponding to the menu option is acquired. And converting the secondary list into a new secondary list according to the obtained target attribute set, wherein the display style of the new secondary list is the same as that of the primary list. And then, sorting the primary list, i.e. hiding the invisible menu options, so as to obtain the primary list comprising only one menu option. And replacing the primary list according to the new secondary list to generate a target list. Finally, the target list is displayed at a preset position and a first-level menu is hidden in the user interface. Thus, the automatic adaptation and presentation of the secondary menu to the preset position of the primary menu in the user interface is realized.

In some embodiments, the order of the option contents in the target list is the same as the order of the secondary menu option contents. For example, the contents of the secondary menu options and the specific sequence are in turn: image mode option a11, sound mode a12, light source mode a13, and AI setting option a14. The order of the option contents in the target list and each option content is also: image mode option a11, sound mode a12, light source mode a13, and AI setting option a14.

In one implementation, both the primary menu and the secondary menu include a visualization portion for displaying at least one menu option when displayed. I.e. the list of objects is displayed in a preset order to the visualization part in the menu during the automatic adaptation. Therefore, the order of the option contents in the target list needs to be the same as the order of the second menu option contents in order to be the same as the order of the second menu option contents when the menu is displayed at the preset position. If the order of the option contents in the target list does not satisfy the same condition as the order of the two-level menu option contents, the option contents in the target list need to be reordered so that the target list satisfies the condition that the order of the menu options in the visualization part is the same as the order of the two-level menu option contents. The user is prevented from being unfamiliar with the contents of the secondary menu options displayed at the preset position, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In some embodiments, a situation may occur in which the number of menu options for the secondary menu is greater than the number of menu options for the primary menu. For example, the number of menu options displayed in the primary menu is 5, and the number of menu options displayed in the secondary menu is 7. In specific implementation, the controller acquires the number of the second-level menu options corresponding to the menu options in the first-level menu; and if the number of the secondary menu options is larger than that of the primary menu, displaying the contents of the secondary menu options at a preset position based on the attribute parameters. Furthermore, even if the number of menu options of the secondary menu is larger than that of the primary menu, the number of all menu options of the secondary menu can be directly displayed at a preset position when the final menu is displayed, so that the use experience of a user is improved.

According to the scheme, the universal attribute parts of the primary menu and the secondary menu are reserved, and different attribute parts are adjusted. And then automatically filling the menu option contents in the secondary menu to finish the replacement of the menu option contents in the primary menu.
