1402. The driver layer forwards the key-press key values to the APM in the middleware.

1403. The APM performs key value distribution.

Wherein the APM distributes the key values to the respective applications.

1404. And intercepting the key value according to the application priority to process.

Each application intercepts and intercepts key values for processing, and the interception and processing are required to be carried out according to the priority of the application in the process of intercepting and processing the key values.

The browser application has a higher priority than the video application, and the video application has a higher priority than the electronic device function application. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the display frame at the upper layer of the EPG interface displays program information belonging to the function of the browser application, so that after the APM distributes the DFB key value, the display frame is preferentially responded by the browser application, when responding to the DFB key value, the judgment can be made according to the current scene, if the display frame at the upper layer of the EPG interface completely displays the scene of the target program information, then the instruction of the DFB key value is received, the user wants to switch to the program information of the next program, at this time, the user needs to cancel the display of the current display frame, and further determines that the switched next program information is not empty, then a new display frame is displayed at the upper layer of the EPG interface to display the next program information, and if the next program information is empty, the user does not pop-up window.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cancellation display of the display frame and the display of the new display frame may be performed according to the key processing logic shown in fig. 13 and the key processing flow shown in fig. 14.

Further, for the browser application, the priorities of the processes of the different interfaces are determined according to the levels of the interfaces, the priority of the process at the uppermost interface is highest, the priority of the process at the lowermost interface is lowest, for example, the priority of the process corresponding to the display frame at the upper layer of the EPG interface is higher than the priority of the process corresponding to the EPG interface. Thus, after receiving an operation for a target key of an external device associated with the display device, the process corresponding to the display frame prioritizes the operation for the target key, and then the EPG interface responds to the operation for the target key.

As shown in fig. 15, the process may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:

1501. the APM distributes the key value of the target key.

The target key may be an up, down, left or right direction key.
