In some embodiments, the display device may be connected to the external device, so as to perform communication interaction with the external device, for example, to obtain data in the external device, or to send data to the external device. FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating the connection of a display device and an external device in some embodiments. As shown in fig. 10, both the display device and the external device are provided with an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface). In the using process, a user can insert two ends of the HDMI interface data line into the display device and the external device respectively, and after the external device and the display device are started, a signal source of the display device is set to be the HDMI interface, so that data transmission between the display device and the external device is achieved.

It should be noted that, in order to implement the communication connection between the display device and the external device, other connection manners may also be adopted between the display device and the external device. The specific connection mode may be a wired connection mode, such as DVI (Digital Visual Interface), VGA (Video Graphics Array), USB (Universal Serial Bus), etc.; or a wireless connection mode, such as a wireless local area network, a bluetooth connection, an infrared connection, etc. Different information transfer protocols can be adopted for different communication connection modes, for example, when the connection is realized by adopting an HDMI interface, an HDMI transmission protocol can be adopted for data transmission.

In some embodiments, in order to ensure the communication security of the display device, the display device may be provided with an external device connection mode. The controller can control the display device to open or close the connection mode of the external device, so as to control whether the display device is in communication connection with the external device.

When the external equipment connection mode is closed, the display equipment does not allow the external equipment to carry out communication connection, and the display equipment does not carry out information interaction with any external equipment, so that the safety of the display equipment is ensured. When the external device connection mode is started, the display device can allow the external device and the display device to be in communication connection, and therefore information interaction is achieved.

When the user uses the display device, the display device can be controlled to realize the functions so as to meet the requirements of the user. In the embodiments of the present application, the functions described above are collectively referred to as standard functions. However, relying solely on the standard functionality described above may not be sufficient to meet the needs of the user. In the standard function, the display device is used for playing media assets, but the user may want to open some specific web pages so as to view the related information in the web pages. For example, in the context of an international hotel, a user may want to have a display device display a web page. Or the display device of the hotel will typically display the hotel logo, the user may wish to see the other logo or not display the logo, etc. Therefore, the display device in the embodiment of the application can also have some functions which can be set by users in a user-defined mode so as to meet the requirements of the users.

In some embodiments, the display device may be provided with a user-defined setting mode. When the display device starts the user-defined setting mode, the display device may start some functions that the user can define, such as a web function. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the display device may include two modes: a standard mode and a user-defined setting mode. The display device is in a standard mode, and can turn on the standard functions such as media asset playing, but can turn off the functions which can be set by the user in a self-defined manner. The display equipment is in a user-defined setting mode, and the display equipment can start the standard function and can also start a function which can be set by a user in a user-defined manner.

The display device may be provided with a plurality of operation modes, wherein the first operation mode may be a user-defined setting mode, and the second operation mode may be a standard mode, but is not limited thereto.

In some embodiments, the user may send a user-defined setting mode instruction to the display device by operating a designated key of the remote controller. And binding the corresponding relation between the user-defined setting mode instruction and the remote controller key in advance in the actual application process. For example, a user-defined setting mode key is set on the remote controller, when the user touches the key, the remote controller sends a user-defined setting mode instruction to the controller, and at this time, the controller controls the display device to enter a user-defined setting mode. When the user touches the key again, the controller can control the display device to exit the user-defined setting mode.

In some embodiments, the corresponding relationship between the user-defined setting mode instruction and the plurality of remote controller keys may also be pre-bound, and when the user touches the plurality of keys bound to the user-defined setting mode instruction, the remote controller sends the user-defined setting mode instruction. In a possible embodiment, the keys bound by the user-defined setting mode instruction are direction keys (left, down, left, down) in sequence, that is, when the user continuously touches the keys (left, down, left, down) within a preset time, the remote controller sends the user-defined setting mode instruction to the controller. By adopting the binding method, the condition that the user self-defined setting mode instruction is sent out due to misoperation of the user can be avoided.

In some embodiments, the user may send a user-defined setting mode instruction to the display device by means of voice input using a sound collector of the display device, for example, a microphone, to control the display device to enter the user-defined setting mode. For example, the user may input "something classmate" to activate the intelligent voice system of the display device. And then inputting 'entering a user-defined setting mode', and realizing sending a user-defined setting mode instruction to the display equipment.

In some embodiments, the user may also send a user-defined setting mode instruction to the display device through a preset gesture. The display device may detect the user's behavior through an image collector, such as a camera. When the user makes a preset gesture, the user may be considered to have sent a user-defined setting mode instruction to the display device. For example, it can be set as: and when the V-shaped word is detected to be scribed by the user, judging that the user inputs a user self-defined setting mode instruction to the display equipment. The user can also send a user-defined setting mode instruction to the display device through a preset action. For example, it can be set as: and when the fact that the user lifts the left foot and the right hand simultaneously is detected, determining that the user inputs a user self-defined setting mode instruction to the display device.

In some embodiments, when the user controls the display device using the smart device, for example, using a cell phone, a user-defined setting mode instruction may also be sent to the display device. In the process of practical application, a control can be set in the mobile phone, whether the mobile phone enters a user-defined setting mode can be selected through the control, so that a user-defined setting mode instruction is sent to the controller, and at the moment, the controller can control the display equipment to enter the user-defined setting mode.

In some embodiments, when the user controls the display device using the cell phone, a continuous click command may be issued to the cell phone. The continuous click command refers to: in a preset period, the number of times that a user clicks the same area of the mobile phone touch screen exceeds a preset threshold value. For example: when the user continuously clicks a certain area of the mobile phone touch screen for 3 times within 1s, the user is regarded as a continuous clicking instruction. After receiving the continuous clicking instruction, the mobile phone can send a user-defined setting mode instruction to the display device, so that the controller controls the display device to enter a user-defined setting mode.
