Detailed Description

So that the manner in which the features and elements of the present embodiments can be understood in detail, a more particular description of the embodiments, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to embodiments, some of which are illustrated in the appended drawings.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of the present application only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

In the following description, reference is made to "some embodiments" which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it is understood that "some embodiments" may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments, and may be combined with each other without conflict. It should also be noted that the terms "first \ second \ third" are used herein only for distinguishing similar objects and do not denote a particular order or sequence of objects, and it should be understood that "first \ second \ third" may be interchanged under appropriate circumstances such that embodiments of the present application described herein may be implemented in other sequences than those illustrated or described herein.

At present, the screen size of the smart television is larger, and the screen resolution is higher and higher. When screen size is developed from 32 inches smaller to 55 inches mainstream and even larger to more than 100 inches, screen resolution is also developed from 1366 × 768 as original to 3840 × 2160 and even higher 8K. However, the existing smart tv can display only a single video content through one screen even if the screen size is larger. However, in a family, the viewing requirements of each family member for television programs are different, and the existing smart television cannot simultaneously display programs with different video signals.

With the continuous development of technology, some screen splitting schemes of smart televisions have been proposed in the related art to realize that two or even multiple video applications are played on the screen at the same time. For example, in an Android (Android) system based smart television, the split screen operation can be realized based on a combination of a floating window function and a multi-screen interaction technology; however, this split screen operation only works on an application program (may be referred to as "application" for short) that has already adapted to the floating window function, and cannot perform split screen operation and play video for most applications, and is not universal.

Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a split-screen interaction method, and the basic idea of the method is: responding to a screen splitting command, and controlling the electronic equipment to enter a screen splitting mode; the split screen mode is used for indicating that a screen of the electronic equipment is divided into at least two sub-interfaces, and the at least two sub-interfaces respectively use different sound output equipment or devices for audio output; and responding to a focus switching command based on the at least two sub-interfaces, taking the target sub-interface as the current focus interface, and controlling the remote control equipment to interact with the target sub-interface. Therefore, after the electronic equipment (such as a smart television) enters a split screen mode, the screen of the electronic equipment can be divided into at least two sub-interfaces, different sound output equipment or devices are respectively used for audio output, and the interaction function between different sub-interfaces and the remote control equipment can be realized by switching focuses between the at least two sub-interfaces, so that different viewing requirements of multiple users can be met simultaneously in certain specific scenes (such as a living room scene), and the split screen mode has universality.

Embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In an embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of a split-screen interaction method provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in fig. 1, the method may include:

s101: responding to a screen splitting command, and controlling the electronic equipment to enter a screen splitting mode; the split screen mode is used for indicating that a screen of the electronic equipment is divided into at least two sub-interfaces, and the at least two sub-interfaces respectively use different sound output equipment or devices for audio output.

It should be noted that the execution subject of the embodiment of the present application is an electronic device. Here, the electronic device may be a terminal device integrated with an Android (Android) system; specifically, the system may be a terminal device into which the android7.0 system and the following devices are integrated.

It should also be noted that the electronic device may interact with a remote control device. In a specific example, the electronic device may be a smart television, and the remote control device may be a remote controller, a television controller, or the like. For the electronic device, prior to responding to the screen split command, the method may further comprise: receiving a starting command, opening the electronic equipment and entering a common mode; the normal mode is used for indicating a screen of the electronic equipment to display a starting interface in a full screen mode.

In the embodiment of the present application, the power-on command may be generated by a user pressing a power-on key on the electronic device. By default, the normal mode, i.e. the single application mode, is entered after the electronic device is turned on, where the single application may be a launch (Launcher) application. The Launcher is a desktop Launcher in the Android system, and the desktop of the Android system displayed at this time is a boot interface (or called as a "main interface" or a "standby interface").

That is, for the electronic device, it is first necessary to open the electronic device and enter a Launcher application mode, where a screen of the electronic device displays a power-on interface in full screen, and a wireless connection between the electronic device and the remote control device is established, so as to realize interaction between the electronic device and the remote control device.

Further, in some embodiments, prior to responding to the split screen command, the method may further comprise:

based on interaction with the remote control equipment, performing preset menu access on a starting interface of the electronic equipment through the remote control equipment, and triggering a screen splitting command; or,

and triggering a screen splitting command through a screen splitting key on the remote control equipment based on the interaction with the remote control equipment.

That is to say, on one hand, an entry interface entering the split screen mode may be provided on the startup interface of the electronic device, for example, the entry interface may be triggered by Launcher application and set menu access, and at this time, preset menu access is performed on the startup interface of the electronic device through the remote control device, so as to trigger the split screen command; or, on the other hand, a split screen button can be arranged on the remote control device, and a user clicks the split screen button on the remote control device to trigger a split screen command.

Besides, the electronic device may also be provided with a touch screen or a gesture recognition device. In some embodiments, prior to responding to the split screen command, the method may further comprise: the method comprises the steps that a screen splitting command is triggered in response to the touch operation of a touch screen based on the interaction with the touch screen of the electronic equipment; or, based on the interaction with the gesture recognition device of the electronic equipment, responding to the gesture operation of the user, and triggering the screen splitting command. In this case, the electronic device does not need to interact with the remote control device, and the split screen command can be triggered by a touch or gesture of the user.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, when the screen of the electronic device is divided into at least two sub-interfaces, and the at least two sub-interfaces respectively use different sound output devices or apparatuses for audio output, it means that the electronic device enters the split screen mode. That is, in some embodiments, the controlling the electronic device to enter the split-screen mode may include:

entering an application selection interface according to the screen splitting command; the application selection interface comprises at least two sub-interface windows and an application list window;

taking the application list window as a current focus window, responding to an application selection command, and respectively selecting split-screen applications to be played for at least two sub-interface windows;

entering a split screen setting interface after a split screen application to be played is started; the split screen setting interface comprises at least two sub-interface windows and an audio setting window;

and taking the audio setting window as a current focus window, responding to an audio setting command, and setting different sound output devices or devices for at least two sub-interface windows respectively to output audio, so as to prevent the audio output from being mixed under the condition that different sub-interfaces are displayed simultaneously, and further realize that the electronic equipment enters a split-screen mode.

In the embodiment of the present application, the audio output device or apparatus may be a speaker, or may be other sound output devices or sound output apparatuses such as an earphone, and is not limited herein.

That is, according to the split screen command, the electronic device will enter the application selection interface. The application selection interface can comprise at least two sub-interface windows and an application list window, the application list window is a current focus window at this time, a user can select split-screen applications in the application list window by operating the remote control device, namely when the electronic device detects an application selection command sent by the remote control device, the electronic device can respectively select split-screen applications to be played for the at least two sub-interface windows; the split screen application to be played can be started in the at least two sub-interface windows through a confirmation (OK) key of the remote control device, and then the split screen setting interface is automatically entered. The split-screen setting interface comprises at least two sub-interface windows and an audio setting window, the audio setting window is a current focus window at this time, a user can set sound output equipment or devices in the audio setting window by operating the remote control equipment, namely when the electronic equipment detects an audio setting command sent by the remote control equipment, different sound output equipment or devices can be respectively set for the at least two sub-interface windows to output audio, and therefore the electronic equipment enters a split-screen mode.

Further, there may be one window in the at least two sub-interface windows to display an original application that was being played by the electronic device prior to responding to the split screen command. Therefore, in some embodiments, the respectively selecting the split-screen applications to be played for the at least two sub-interface windows may include:

responding to an application selection command, and respectively selecting split screen applications to be played for the rest sub-interface windows except the first sub-interface window in at least two sub-interface windows; and displaying the original application which is played by the electronic equipment before responding to the screen splitting command in the first sub-interface window.

That is, the original application that was being played by the electronic device prior to responding to the split screen command may be displayed in the first sub-interface window, while the split screen application to be played may be selected for the other remaining sub-interface windows by the application selection command sent by the remote control device. In this way, at least two split-screen applications correspond to the at least two sub-interface windows, and if the audio of the at least two split-screen applications is output to one sound output device or apparatus at the same time, noise will be generated, so that different sound output devices or apparatuses can be set for the at least two split-screen applications respectively through the audio setting command sent by the remote control device, for example, the audio of one sub-interface is output by a microphone, and the audio of the other sub-interface is output through a bluetooth headset connected to the electronic device. After these operations are completed, the electronic device enters the split screen mode. In the embodiment of the present application, the split screen mode is that the screen of the electronic device is divided into at least two sub-interfaces, and the at least two sub-interfaces respectively use different sound output devices or apparatuses for audio output.

S102: and responding to a focus switching command based on the at least two sub-interfaces, taking the target sub-interface as the current focus interface, and controlling the remote control equipment to interact with the target sub-interface.

It should be noted that at least two sub-interfaces are arranged and displayed on the screen of the electronic device. And for the interaction between the at least two sub-interfaces and the remote control device, the interaction between the remote control device and different sub-interfaces can be realized by switching the focus in the at least two sub-interfaces.

It should be further noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the respective sizes of the at least two sub-interfaces may be set in a customized manner, or may be adjusted adaptively (for example, according to the number of the sub-interfaces, the requirements of a user, and the like), and this is not limited specifically here.

It should be further noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the screen splitting command carries indication information of the number of sub-interfaces; or the number of the sub-interfaces is a preset constant value. Exemplarily, assuming that the number of sub-interfaces is 2, the at least two sub-interfaces may include a first sub-interface and a second sub-interface.

In some embodiments, when the at least two sub-interfaces include a first sub-interface and a second sub-interface, the taking the target sub-interface as the current focus interface and controlling the remote control device to interact with the target sub-interface in response to the focus switching command may include:

responding to a first focus switching command, taking the first sub-interface as a current focus interface, and controlling the remote control equipment to interact with the first sub-interface;

and responding to a second focus switching command, taking the second sub-interface as the current focus interface, and controlling the remote control equipment to interact with the second sub-interface.

In a specific example, the first focus switching command is generated according to triggering when the pressed time length of a first operation key on the remote control device meets a first preset time length, and the second focus switching command is generated according to triggering when the pressed time length of a second operation key on the remote control device meets a second preset time length.

In a specific example, the first operation key may be a left operation key on the remote control device, and the second operation key may be a right operation key on the remote control device.

It should be noted that the first preset time period and the second preset time period may be equal or unequal. Illustratively, the first preset time period and the second preset time period may be set to 5 seconds, but are not particularly limited.

That is, if the remote control device needs to interact with the first sub-interface currently, the left operation key on the remote control device may be pressed for a long time at this time so that the first split-screen application in the first sub-interface may accept the subsequent key event; if the remote control equipment is required to interact with the second sub-interface currently, the right operation key on the remote control equipment can be pressed for a long time at this time, so that the second split-screen application in the second sub-interface can accept the subsequent key event; in this way, switching focus between the first and second screen-split applications may be achieved.

In short, in the embodiment of the application, based on the application split screen function provided after the Android7.0 system, a split screen mode function of electronic equipment suitable for living room scene requirements can be developed, and audio of different split screen applications can be respectively output to different sound output equipment or devices and a function of performing focus interaction among the split screen applications; therefore, some demand scenes of a living room can be met, for example, children need to watch the cartoon through electronic equipment (such as an intelligent television), parents need to watch the ball game at the same time, and at this time, the split screen mode can be used for starting two applications to watch the cartoon and the sports event respectively.

The embodiment provides a split-screen interaction method, which responds to a split-screen command and controls an electronic device to enter a split-screen mode; the split screen mode is used for indicating that a screen of the electronic equipment is divided into at least two sub-interfaces, and the at least two sub-interfaces respectively use different sound output equipment or devices for audio output; and responding to a focus switching command based on the at least two sub-interfaces, taking the target sub-interface as the current focus interface, and controlling the remote control equipment to interact with the target sub-interface. Therefore, after the electronic equipment enters the split screen mode, the screen of the electronic equipment can be divided into at least two sub-interfaces, different sound output equipment or devices are used for audio output respectively, and the interaction function between different sub-interfaces and the remote control equipment can be realized by switching focuses, so that different viewing requirements of multiple users can be met simultaneously in certain specific scenes (such as a living room scene), and the split screen mode has universality.

In another embodiment of the present application, taking the example of dividing the screen of the electronic device into the first sub-interface and the second sub-interface, refer to fig. 2, which shows a flowchart of another split-screen interaction method provided in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the method may include:

s201: and entering a split screen selection and setting mode.

It should be noted that, by default, turning on the electronic device will enter a single application mode, at which time an entry interface to enter a split screen mode may be provided. The portal interface can trigger a split screen command through Launcher application and setting menu access; or, a split-screen button can be arranged on the remote control device, and a split-screen command can be triggered by clicking the split-screen button on the remote control device by a user. Illustratively, the remote control device directly provides a split screen entry key, and a user clicks the key to trigger a split screen command, thereby directly entering a split screen selection and setting mode.

It should also be noted that the split screen selection and setting mode may include entering an application selection interface and entering a split screen setting interface. In some embodiments, fig. 3 shows a flowchart of another split-screen interaction method provided in this application embodiment. As shown in fig. 3, the method may include:

s301: entering an application selection interface according to the screen splitting command; the application selection interface comprises a first sub-interface window, a second sub-interface window and an application list window, and an original application which is played by the electronic equipment before responding to the screen splitting command is displayed in the first sub-interface window.

S302: and taking the application list window as the current focus window, responding to an application selection command, and selecting a target split-screen application for the second sub-interface window from the application list window.

Fig. 4 is a schematic view illustrating an application selection interface of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the application selection interface may include a first sub-interface window 401, a second sub-interface window 402, and an application list window 403; the original application is displayed in the first sub-interface window 401, the word "select screen split application" is displayed in the second sub-interface window 402, and the application list window 403 includes application 1, application 2, application 3, application 4, application 5, and application 6. Here, the application list window 403 serves as a current focus window in which the selected application 1 is a focus position.

Thus, the first sub-interface window 401 is the original application display area before entering the split-screen mode, and at this time, the content is normally displayed; and the second sub-interface window 402 is a split-screen application to be selected, and the real focus is located on the application in the application list window 403 at this time, if the target split-screen application is application 1, then after selecting application 1 to be split-screen played, clicking an OK key on the remote control device can start the application in the second sub-interface window 402.

S303: after starting the target split-screen application in the second sub-interface window, entering a split-screen setting interface; the split screen setting interface comprises a first sub-interface window, a second sub-interface window and an audio setting window.

S304: and taking the audio setting window as the current focus window, and setting different sound output equipment or devices for the first sub-interface window and the second sub-interface window from the audio setting window to output audio in response to an audio setting command.

It should be noted that the options within the audio setting window may include a first sound output device or apparatus and a second sound output device or apparatus. Wherein the first and second sound output devices or apparatus may be one of: local speaker, microphone, bluetooth headset, etc. In one specific example, after detecting an audio setting command sent by the remote control device, a local speaker can be set for the first sub-interface window, and a bluetooth headset can be set for the second sub-interface window.

It should be further noted that fig. 5 shows a schematic view of a split-screen setting interface of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the split screen setting interface may include a first sub-interface window 401, a second sub-interface window 402, and an audio setting window 501; wherein the original application (which may be regarded as split-screen application 1) is displayed in the first sub-interface window 401, the selected application 1 (which may be regarded as split-screen application 2) is displayed in the second sub-interface window 402, and the audio setup window 501 is used to set up audio output, wherein the options therein may include a first sound output device or apparatus and a second sound output device or apparatus. Here, the audio setting window 501 serves as a current focus window, and the focus position at this time is on the setting audio output.

Thus, since the simultaneous output of audio from two split screen applications to one sound output device or apparatus can be noisy, it is desirable to output the audio to a different sound output device or apparatus, such as where separate output options to the local speaker and bluetooth headset can be provided. Thus, the electronic device enters the split-screen mode after completing these operations, as shown in fig. 6.

S202: and entering the interaction of a split screen mode.

Fig. 6 is a schematic view illustrating a split screen mode of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 6, a first sub-interface and a second sub-interface are arranged and displayed on a screen of the electronic device, where the first sub-interface plays a split-screen application 1, and the second sub-interface plays a split-screen application 2.

In the embodiment of the application, when a first focus switching command sent by the remote control device is detected, responding to the first focus switching command, taking the first sub-interface as a current focus interface, and controlling the remote control device to interact with the first sub-interface; and when a second focus switching command sent by the remote control equipment is detected, responding to the second focus switching command, taking the second sub-interface as the current focus interface, and controlling the remote control equipment to interact with the second sub-interface.

That is, from the perspective of the application itself, focus is present all the time, and focus is not lost; from the perspective of the electronic device, the real focus is on one of the applications, that is, when the electronic device interacts with the remote control device, the electronic device usually interacts with the split-screen application 1 only, and if the remote control device needs to interact with the split-screen application 2, the right operating key of the remote control device needs to be pressed for a long time, and at this time, when the electronic device responds to a second focus switching command (i.e., the right operating key is pressed for a long time), the split-screen application 2 can accept a subsequent key event; otherwise, when the electronic device responds to the first focus switching command (i.e., long-pressing the left operation key), the split-screen application 1 may be caused to accept the subsequent key event; this enables switching focus between two split screen applications.

S203: and exiting the split screen mode.

It should be noted that, when the user does not need to use the split-screen mode, the smart device may exit the split-screen mode at this time.

In one possible embodiment, the method may further comprise: if active (Activity) stacks corresponding to split screen applications played by the remaining sub-interfaces, except the current focus interface, of the at least two sub-interfaces are all empty, controlling the electronic device to exit a split screen mode, so that the screen of the electronic device displays the current focus interface in a full screen mode.

In another possible embodiment, the method may further include: responding to the quit command, returning to a starting interface of the electronic equipment, and controlling the electronic equipment to quit the split screen mode; and the exit command is generated by triggering according to the pressed time length of a third operation key on the remote control equipment and the third preset time length.

In a specific example, the third operation key may be a HOME key on the remote control device.

In this embodiment of the application, the third preset time period may be equal to or different from the first preset time period and the second preset time period. Illustratively, the third preset time period may be set to 5 seconds, but is not particularly limited.

That is to say, for the first sub-interface and the second sub-interface, when the Activity stack of one of the split-screen applications is empty, that is, there is no content in one of the sub-interfaces, it may be determined that the electronic device automatically exits the split-screen mode and enters a normal mode in which a single application is displayed in a full screen. Or, by long pressing the HOME key on the remote control device, the user can directly return to the power-on interface corresponding to the Launcher application, thereby directly exiting the split screen mode.

Therefore, the electronic device takes an intelligent television as an example, and the embodiment of the application is an interaction scheme of the application split screen function of the intelligent television, which is realized based on the application split screen function provided by the Android7.0 system. Because the smart television and the smart phone have different interaction modes, the smart phone performs interaction through the touch screen, and the smart television performs interaction through the remote control device, the interaction problem can occur when the application split screen function of the Android system in the smart phone is transplanted to the smart television, and therefore the embodiment of the application mainly solves the interaction problem from the perspective of software technology. Specifically, the method may include: defining entry into a split screen selection and setting mode, defining interaction into a split screen mode, and defining exit from a split screen mode. Thus, in the embodiment of the application, based on the application split screen function provided after the Android7.0 system, a split screen mode function of the smart television suitable for the scene requirement of a living room can be developed, and the audio of different split screen applications is respectively output to different sound output devices or devices and the function of focus interaction between the split screen applications is performed; therefore, some demand scenes of a living room can be met, for example, children need to watch cartoons through an intelligent television, parents need to watch ball games at the same time, and at this time, the split screen mode can be used for starting two applications to watch the cartoons and sports events respectively.

The embodiment provides a split-screen interaction method, and the specific implementation of the foregoing embodiment is elaborated through the foregoing embodiment, and it can be seen that, through the technical solution of the foregoing embodiment, after an electronic device enters a split-screen mode, a screen of the electronic device can be divided into at least two sub-interfaces, and different sound output devices or apparatuses are respectively used for audio output, and by performing focus switching, an interaction function between different sub-interfaces and a remote control device can be further implemented, so that under some specific scenes (such as a living room scene), different viewing requirements of multiple users can be simultaneously satisfied, and the method has universality.

In another embodiment of the present application, based on the same inventive concept as the foregoing embodiment, referring to fig. 7, a schematic structural diagram of a split-screen interaction apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in fig. 7, the split-screen interaction device 70 may include: a split screen unit 701 and an interaction unit 702; wherein,
