Background

With the continuous development of the smart television, the smart television gradually enters into the family of people now, and the life of people is enriched. Through the intelligent television, people can watch favorite programs from the network. However, in the process of using the smart television at present, when channels provided by the smart television need to be switched (such as games, sports, fun, and the like), complicated operations are often required to complete channel switching, and user experience is poor.

Disclosure of Invention

The application provides an interface switching method, an interface switching device, electronic equipment, a computer storage medium and a computer program product containing instructions, which can return to an interface for switching channels by one key, so that a user can quickly switch channels, switching paths are reduced, and user experience is improved.

In a first aspect, the present application provides an interface switching method, which may be applied to a first device. The method can comprise the following steps: displaying a first interface; acquiring a first signal transmitted by second equipment; and switching the first interface to a second interface under the condition that the duration of the first signal reaches a preset duration, wherein the second interface displays the identifiers of the plurality of channels.

Therefore, in the process of using the first device, a user can directly return to the interface displaying the identifiers of the multiple channels when browsing some interfaces, so that the user can quickly select the needed channel from the interface, and further the user does not need to perform operations such as returning, confirming and the like for many times, thereby reducing the operation cost and improving the user experience.

Illustratively, the first device may be a smart television or a television box. The second device may be a remote control for controlling the first device.

In one possible implementation, the content displayed on the first interface corresponds to a first channel; the identifiers of the plurality of channels comprise a first identifier corresponding to the first channel, and the first identifier is highlighted in the second interface. Therefore, the user can know the channel to which the content browsed by the user before the user watches the second interface, the user expectation is met, and the user experience is improved.

In one possible implementation, after switching the first interface to the second interface, the method may further include: acquiring a third signal transmitted by second equipment; and switching the second interface to the first interface. Therefore, the user can rapidly switch the second interface to the first interface, the operation cost is reduced, and the user experience is improved. Illustratively, the third signal may be generated by the second device when a key on which to perform a "return" operation is pressed.

In one possible implementation, the method may further include: acquiring a second signal transmitted by second equipment; highlighting the second identifier on the second interface, and de-highlighting the first identifier. Therefore, the user can know which channel is currently selected, and the user experience is improved.

In a possible implementation manner, the first interface is an interface for displaying a video in a full screen (also called a full screen playing page), or an interface for controlling a video in a playing state (also called a playing control setting page). By way of example, the interface for full-screen presentation of video may be understood as: the method comprises the steps of playing the video through the first device in a full screen mode, or playing the video through the first device in the full screen mode, wherein the interface comprises a video picture and an interface indicating a channel and/or at least part of brief introduction of the video content. The interface for controlling the video in the playing state can be understood as: during playing of the video, an interface capable of controlling the video being played, such as fast forward control, slow play control, and the like. In the related art, when a user switches channels on a full-screen playing page or a play control setting page, the user often needs to navigate a focus back to a channel required by a focus selector one by one based on a conventional navigation bar, and especially in a scenario where the user uses a remote controller to operate, a path of moving the focus is long when the user switches channels, for example, operations of returning, confirming, and moving the focus may be required multiple times in a deep page, which results in high operation cost. By applying the method in the embodiment, the user can return to the interface for switching the channels by one key and select the channels, so that the operation cost is greatly reduced, and the user experience is improved.

In one possible implementation manner, a first area in the first interface displays at least one identifier of a channel, and a second area in the first interface displays a video frame, where the number of identifiers of channels displayed in the first interface is less than the number of identifiers of channels displayed in the second interface.

In a possible implementation manner, content of a video displayed on the first interface corresponds to a first channel, and a first identifier corresponding to the first channel is highlighted in the first area. Thereby enabling the user to know in the first interface the channel to which the content he sees belongs.

In one possible implementation, the second interface is an integrated page of the identifiers of the respective channels provided by the client, wherein the client runs on the first device.

In one possible implementation, the second device is a remote controller of the first device; the first signal is a signal sent by pressing a target key on the remote controller, and the target key is used for executing confirmation operation.

In one possible implementation, the content displayed on the first interface corresponds to a first channel; the identifiers of the plurality of channels comprise a first identifier corresponding to the first channel, and the first identifier is highlighted in the second interface.

In a possible implementation manner, the signal obtaining module is further configured to obtain a second signal transmitted by a second device. And the interface display module is also used for highlighting the second identifier on the second interface and canceling the highlighting of the first identifier.

In a possible implementation manner, the first interface is an interface for displaying a video in a full screen mode, or an interface for controlling a video in a playing state.

In one possible implementation manner, the content of the video displayed on the first interface corresponds to a first channel, and a first identifier corresponding to the first channel is highlighted in the first area.

The symbol "/" herein denotes a relationship in which the associated object is or, for example, a/B denotes a or B.

The terms "first" and "second," and the like, in the description and in the claims herein are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order of the objects. For example, the first response message and the second response message, etc. are for distinguishing different response messages, not for describing a specific order of the response messages.

In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described herein as "exemplary" or "e.g.," is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present relevant concepts in a concrete fashion.

In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "a plurality" means two or more, for example, a plurality of processing units means two or more processing units, or the like; plural elements means two or more elements, and the like.

Exemplarily, fig. 1 (a) shows an application scenario. As shown in fig. 1 (a), this scenario may include: an electronic device 100 and a remote controller 200. The electronic apparatus 100 can be controlled by the remote controller 200. For example, turning on the electronic device 100, turning off the electronic device 100, selecting a channel provided by a client running on the electronic device 100, and the like. In this scenario, the electronic device 100 may be a smart television. The smart television in the embodiment of the present application may be a television or other electronic devices with a large screen that can interact with a mobile device, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, and the like, for example, a user interface in the smart phone may be transmitted in a wireless manner and presented in the smart television, and a user's operation in the smart television may also affect the smart phone.

Fig. 1 (B) shows another application scenario. As shown in fig. 1 (B), this scenario may include: a television apparatus 100, a remote controller 200, and a display apparatus 300. The electronic apparatus 100 can be controlled by the remote controller 200. The electronic device 100 and the display device 300 may be connected by, but not limited to, a cable. The display device 300 may display an interface of contents provided by the electronic device 100. The display device 300 may be, but is not limited to, a display screen associated with the electronic device 100, and is mainly used for displaying content provided by a client running on the electronic device 100. In this scenario, electronic device 100 may be a television box. The television box in the embodiment of the application can be a small-sized computing terminal device, and can be connected with display devices such as a traditional television and the like, so that webpage browsing, network video playing and application program installation can be realized on the display devices, and even data such as photos, videos and the like in a mobile phone and a flat panel can be projected onto the display devices through the television box.

Generally, in the scenario shown in fig. 1, when a user needs to switch channels, the user often needs to use the remote controller 200 to perform multiple operations, such as: the required channel can be selected only by multiple operations of returning, confirming and the like, and the operation path is long.

In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present application provides an apparatus control method, where when a user needs to switch a channel, the user may return to an interface integrated with identifiers of multiple channels by one key, so that the user may quickly select a channel required by the user. Therefore, operation paths are reduced, operation cost is reduced, and user experience is improved. It is understood that the channels referred to in the embodiments of the present application are generic to a type of content provided by a client running on the electronic device 100. For example, the channel may refer to a game channel, a sports channel, a fun channel, an entertainment channel, a channel for setting, a channel for searching, and the like. The channel does not refer to a certain broadcast television channel.

Exemplarily, fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of an interface switching method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method may be performed by an interface switching apparatus, wherein the apparatus may be implemented by software and/or hardware, and may be configured in the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 2, the interface switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include:

and S101, displaying a first interface.

In this embodiment, the first interface may be displayed by a client running in the electronic device 100. The first interface may be an interface displayed on the client when the user uses the client.

In some embodiments, the first interface may be an interface for displaying a video in a full screen, or an interface for controlling a video in a playing state. By way of example, the interface for full-screen presentation of video may be understood as: the interface when the video is played through the electronic device 100 in a full screen mode, or when the video is played through the electronic device 100 in a full screen mode, the interface includes both a picture of the video and an interface indicating a channel and/or at least a partial brief description to which the video content belongs. The interface for controlling the video in the playing state can be understood as: during playing of the video, an interface capable of controlling the video being played, such as fast forward control, slow play control, and the like.

For example, as shown in fig. 3 (a), the interface displayed on the electronic device 100 at this time may be the interface when the video is played in full screen. As shown in fig. 3 (B), the interface displayed on the electronic device 100 may be a screen including both the video and the channel and/or at least a partial profile of the video content. In fig. 3 (B), the area 31 may be an area indicating a channel to which the video content belongs, and the area 32 may be an area where an adapted picture played by the electronic device 100 is located, in which a profile of the video picture, such as "xx group 2, xxxxx", or the like, may be included. As shown in fig. 3 (C), the interface displayed on the electronic device 100 at this time may be an interface for controlling the video in the playing state, and whether to skip the beginning and the end of the title, or the like may be set in the interface.

S102, acquiring a first signal transmitted by second equipment.

In this embodiment, the user may use the second device to control the client running on the electronic device 100. After the user issues the control instruction through the second device, the second device may transmit the first signal to the outside. In this way, the electronic device 100 may acquire the first signal and feed the first signal back to the client running thereon. Illustratively, the second device may be the remote controller 200 shown in fig. 1. The first signal may be a signal generated by a user pressing a certain key on the remote controller 200 for a long time. The key may be, but is not limited to, a key on the remote controller 200 for performing a confirmation operation.

S103, switching the first interface to a second interface when the duration of the first signal reaches a preset duration, wherein the second interface displays the identifiers of the plurality of channels.

In this embodiment, when the first signal is acquired, the duration of the first signal may be counted, and when the duration of the first signal reaches a preset duration (for example, 500 milliseconds), the first interface may be switched to the second interface. Wherein, the identifiers of a plurality of channels can be displayed on the second interface. Illustratively, the second interface may be an integrated page of identifications of the respective channels provided by the client. For example, the second interface may be an interface displayed on the electronic apparatus 100 in (a) or (B) of fig. 4.

Thus, the user can quickly return to the interface for switching channels, so that the user can quickly select the channel required by the user.

In some embodiments, the content presented on the first interface may correspond to the first channel, i.e., the interface currently displayed by the client is an interface for certain content within the first channel. At this time, the identifiers of the plurality of channels displayed on the second interface may include a first identifier corresponding to the first channel, and the first identifier may be highlighted on the second interface. Therefore, the user can know the channel to which the content browsed by the user before the user watches the second interface, and the user experience is improved. For example, with continued reference to fig. 4, in (a) of fig. 4, when the content presented on the first interface may correspond to the first channel being "recommended", the identification corresponding to the "recommendation" in the area 41 may be highlighted in the second interface displayed on the electronic device 100. Illustratively, the highlighting may include highlighting, magnifying, and the like.

Further, the user may make a channel selection on the second interface through the second device. Wherein the user may press a certain key (e.g. a direction key, etc.) on the second device, after which the second device may externally transmit the second signal. After the client acquires the second signal transmitted by the second device, the client can highlight the second identifier on the second interface and cancel the highlighting of the first identifier. And the second identifier is the identifier of the channel currently selected by the user. For example, with reference to fig. 4, if the second interface is the interface displayed on the electronic device 100 in (a) of fig. 4 after the first interface is switched to the second interface, the user may issue a channel selection instruction through the remote controller 200, and when the channel selected by the user is a "hot spot", as shown in (B) of fig. 4, an identifier corresponding to the "hot spot" in the area 42 may be displayed in the second interface displayed on the electronic device 100 in a protruding manner, and the protruding display of the identifier corresponding to the "recommendation" in the second interface is cancelled.

Further, after the user selects the channel required by the user, the user can issue an instruction for completing the selection through the second device. The second interface may then be switched to the sub-interface under the channel selected by the user.

In addition, when the user needs to return to the first interface, the user can issue an interface return instruction through the second device, and therefore the user can return to the first interface from the second interface by one key. For example, when the second device is the remote controller 200, the user may switch from the second interface to the first interface by pressing a "back" button on the remote controller 200.

In some embodiments, when the first interface is an interface for full screen presentation of video, the first interface may include a first area and a second area therein. The first area can display at least one channel identifier, and the second area can display a video picture. In addition, the number of identifications of channels displayed in the first interface is less than the number of identifications of channels displayed in the second interface. For example, with continued reference to (B) of fig. 3, the first region may be a region shown as region 31, and the second region may be a region shown as region 32. There are several channel identifications "often watch", "recommend", "hotspot", "cinema" and "kid" in the area 31. Comparing the markers in the area 31 with those in the second interface shown in fig. 4 (a), it can be seen that the number of markers in the area 31 is significantly less than that in the second interface shown in fig. 4 (a).

Further, the content of the video presented by the first interface may correspond to the first channel. And the first identifier corresponding to the first channel can be highlighted in the first area. Thereby enabling the user to know in the first interface the channel to which the content he sees belongs. For example, with continued reference to fig. 3 (B), at this time, "recommended" is highlighted in the area 31, indicating that the channel corresponding to the video picture in the area 32 at this time is the "recommended" channel.

In some embodiments, the first interface and/or the second interface is different from the third interface. Wherein the third interface is: and after the client on the first device is started and the signal transmitted by the second device is not acquired, displaying an interface on the client, wherein the third interface is different from the advertisement interface. Illustratively, the third interface may be understood as a home interface, or a desktop page, or a home page, etc. In addition, when the first device is the electronic device 100 and the second device is the remote controller 200, the third interface may also be understood as: and after the user clicks the "home" key on the remote controller 200, displaying an interface on a display screen of the electronic device 100. An advertisement interface may be understood to be an interface when an advertisement is played.

Based on the method in the above embodiment, the embodiment of the present application further provides an interface switching device. As shown in fig. 5, the interface switching device 500 includes: an interface display module 501, a signal acquisition module 502 and an interface switching module 503.

The interface display module 501 may be configured to display a first interface. The signal acquisition module 502 may be configured to acquire a first signal transmitted by a second device. The interface switching module 503 may be configured to switch the first interface to a second interface when the duration of the first signal reaches a preset duration, where identifiers of a plurality of channels are displayed on the second interface.

In some embodiments, the content presented on the first interface corresponds to a first channel; the identifiers of the plurality of channels comprise a first identifier corresponding to the first channel, and the first identifier is highlighted in the second interface.

In some embodiments, the signal acquisition module 502 may also be configured to acquire a second signal transmitted by a second device. The interface display module 501 may also be used to highlight the second identifier on the second interface and to de-highlight the first identifier.

In some embodiments, the first interface is an interface for displaying a video in a full screen mode, or an interface for controlling a video in a playing mode.

In some embodiments, a first area in the first interface displays an identification of at least one channel and a second area in the first interface displays a video screen, wherein the number of identifications of channels displayed in the first interface is less than the number of identifications of channels displayed in the second interface.

In some embodiments, the content of the video presented by the first interface corresponds to a first channel, and a first logo corresponding to the first channel is highlighted in the first area.

In some embodiments, the second interface is an integrated page of identifications of individual channels provided by a client, wherein the client runs on the first device.

In some embodiments, the second device is a remote control of the first device; the first signal is a signal sent by pressing a target key on the remote controller, and the target key is used for executing confirmation operation.

It should be understood that, the above-mentioned apparatus is used for executing the method in the above-mentioned embodiments, and the implementation principle and technical effect of the corresponding program module in the apparatus are similar to those described in the above-mentioned method, and the working process of the apparatus may refer to the corresponding process in the above-mentioned method, and is not described herein again.
