To achieve dynamic display and hiding of the application resource preview bar, the display device 200 sets the element presentation attribute of each region in the device homepage to block, i.e., each region is displayed as a block-level element. Each block-level element is provided with a line feed character in front and behind, and the area elements adopt relative positioning.

FIG. 7 illustrates a layout diagram of regions in a device home page, in accordance with some embodiments. Referring to the contents shown in fig. 7 (a), the user activates the display device 200, and the display 260 is lit and shows the device homepage. In the first state, the application resource preview bar is hidden, and the navigation bar, the carousel bar, the application bar and the waterfall stream are displayed in the equipment homepage in sequence. Referring to the content shown in fig. 7 (b), in the second state, an application resource preview bar is displayed on one side of the application bar. When the application resource preview bar needs to be displayed between the carousel bar and the application bar, the display device 200 controls the application bar and the waterfall stream to move down as a whole, or controls the navigation bar and the carousel bar to move up as a whole. When the second state is switched to the first state, the application resource preview column is hidden, and the application column can automatically move upwards and be displayed below the carousel column.

To achieve dynamic display and hiding of the application resource preview bar, a control focus is set to default on the carousel bar when the display device 200 presents the device home page. Meanwhile, the display attribute of the application resource preview column is set to none, so that the application resource preview column is hidden when the equipment homepage is just entered.

FIG. 8 illustrates a schematic diagram of a device home page in a first state, in accordance with some embodiments. Referring to fig. 8, when the device home page is presented in the display 260, the carousel field is located above the application field, and in the first state, the carousel field is adjacent to the application field. The first state refers to an initial state in which the display device 200 displays a device homepage, and the user has not operated the device homepage.

It should be noted that, in the present application, the control focus may not be located on the carousel bar by default. The relative positions of the carousel bars and the application bars can also adopt a layout that the application bars are positioned above the carousel bars, or a left-right layout, or the carousel bars and the application bars are not adjacent. Based on this, other areas in the device homepage may not adopt the layout manner shown in fig. 7 and 8. The present application is described by way of example only, and the arrangement shown in fig. 7 and 8 is not intended to limit the present application.

S2, responding to the second area to obtain a control focus, and displaying a third area in the equipment homepage, wherein the third area is adjacent to the second area.

Wherein the third area is for displaying resource information associated with the second type of resource information. The application resource preview column has a strong association relationship with the application column, and when the second area is the application column, the application resource preview column (third area) is used for displaying media data provided by the designated application in the application column.

In some embodiments, triggering the manner in which the focus movement is controlled may include triggering a remote control directional key, a user gesture, or other terminal device, etc. Taking the example of triggering control focus movement by triggering the direction key of the remote controller, the user presses the remote controller to send a key signal for controlling the homepage scrolling of the device, and the display device 200 triggers control focus movement once after receiving the key signal each time.

When the device homepage is used for scrolling and loading the display content, a mode of controlling the movement of the focus on the device homepage to drive the screen to scroll can be adopted to view other content of the device homepage. That is, this display is a one-screen split-screen display device 200 homepage content. For example, the control focus can be moved from the top end of each screen of the device homepage to the bottom end of each screen, namely, the control focus can pass through each area in each screen to drive the device homepage to scroll and display in a split screen manner, so that loading of non-displayed content is realized.

Or when the device homepage is in rolling loading display content, a mode of driving the screen to roll by controlling the focus to be fixed relative to the screen can be adopted, and the concept of the first screen can be blurred by the mode, so that the device homepage is driven to roll and display continuously. For example, when the control focus is moved by pressing the remote control direction key again after the control focus is moved from the top end of the first screen to the middle position of the first screen, the control focus is kept stationary with respect to the screen, and the device homepage is scrolled to continuously load the undisplayed content. In this process, the control focus is always located at an intermediate position with respect to the screen. When content is loaded to the content of the device homepage that is located on the last screen, the control focus can be moved from the intermediate location to the bottom of the current screen so that the content located at the bottom can be selected.

The two modes for realizing the rolling loading of the display content of the homepage of the equipment can be set according to the habit of a user. Other ways are adopted to realize the scrolling loading of the display content of the homepage of the device, and the application is not listed one by one. In the application, the method of realizing the rolling loading of the display content of the homepage of the equipment by controlling the focus to be fixed relative to the screen and driving the screen to continuously roll and display is taken as an example for explanation.

Because the application resource preview bar has a strong association relationship with the application bar, when the application resource preview bar is dynamically displayed, the application resource preview bar is displayed in the equipment homepage when the application bar obtains the control focus. The application resource preview column is adjacent to the application column, so that when a user selects one of the application columns, the media data provided by the application can be synchronously checked in the application resource preview column in time.

FIG. 9 illustrates a flowchart of a method of displaying a third region at a device home page, in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, referring to fig. 9, the controller 250, upon executing the obtaining of the control focus in response to the second region, displaying a third region in the device homepage, is further configured to execute the steps of:

s22, responding to the second area to obtain a control focus, and displaying a third area between the first area and the second area.

The first control command may be a key value signal for triggering the remote controller to generate a direction key, or may be a gesture control command. Here, the first control command is a key value signal that triggers the remote control direction key to generate, which is described as an example.

FIG. 10 illustrates a schematic diagram of a device home page in a second state, in accordance with some embodiments. Referring to fig. 10 (a), in case that a carousel bar is selected by default with a control focus, the carousel bar is located above and adjacent to an application bar, if a user wants to view contents located below the carousel bar, a down key of a direction key of a remote controller is triggered. The display device 200 controls the device homepage to move up once as a whole in response to a key value signal of a user's trigger key down.

Referring to fig. 10 (b), the control focus is moved down from the carousel bar to the application bar. The display device 200 displays an application resource preview field between the carousel field and the application field in response to the application field obtaining control focus, the device home page presenting a second state. In this process, the display device 200 sets the presentation attribute of the application resource preview bar to block to display the application resource preview bar in the second state.

The second state refers to a state in which the user operates the device homepage and displays an application resource preview bar on one side of the application bar. The application resource preview bar is adjacent to the application bar, and the application resource preview bar may be located above the application bar (i.e., between the carousel bar and the application bar), below the application bar, or elsewhere adjacent to the application bar.

In some embodiments, the controller 250, upon performing displaying the third region between the first region and the second region, is further configured to:

step 221, in response to the first control instruction, controlling the first area to move upwards by a preset distance value, and controlling the second area to move upwards by a first distance value corresponding to the first control instruction.

Step 222, generating an idle area between the first area and the second area, and displaying a third area in the idle area.

In order to facilitate the display of the application resource preview bar between the carousel bar and the application bar, the display device 200, when controlling the upward movement of the device homepage, has different distance values in which the application bar and the carousel bar are moved. The display device 200 controls the application bar and the device homepage to move upwards once according to the first distance value corresponding to the first control instruction, and controls the carousel bar to move upwards by a preset distance value larger than the first distance value.

The preset distance value is larger than the first distance value, and the preset distance value is related to the height value of the third area. The preset distance value may be, for example, a sum of the first distance value and a height value of the application resource preview column. That is, the carousel bar is moved a predetermined distance value after being moved upward along with the device homepage. Thus, after one movement, a free area is generated between the carousel field and the application field. The height value of the free area is equal to the height value of the application resource preview column, and the application resource preview column can be displayed in the free area.

In some embodiments, the application resource preview column may employ animation effect fades in. The duration of the fade-in animation of the application resource preview column may be set to 100ms, and the duration may also be other values, which are not listed here.

In some embodiments, after one upward movement of the carousel bar, the carousel bar may disappear in the visual range of the display 260, or only a portion of the content may be displayed in the visual range of the display 260. In this process, the controller 250 is further configured to perform the steps of:

step 231, obtaining a second distance value between the top end of the second area and the top end of the visual range of the display after moving the first distance value.

Step 232, if the height value of the third area is greater than or equal to the second distance value, the first area is moved out of the visual range along the top end of the visual range.

Step 233, if the height value of the third area is smaller than the second distance value, the top of the first area is moved out of the visual range, and the bottom of the first area is displayed in the visual range.

After one movement, the display state of the carousel bar is determined based on the distance value between the top of the application bar and the top of the visual range and the height value of the application resource preview bar.

FIG. 11 illustrates a state diagram for displaying a carousel bar in a device homepage in accordance with some embodiments. Referring to fig. 11, when the height value of the application resource preview bar is greater than or equal to the second distance value, it is indicated that the top end of the application resource preview bar is close to or attached to the top end of the visual range, and when the application resource preview bar is displayed between the carousel bar and the application bar, the carousel bar is moved out of the visual range along the top end of the visual range, and disappears from the visual range.

FIG. 12 illustrates another state diagram for displaying a carousel bar in a device homepage in accordance with some embodiments. Referring to fig. 12, when the height value of the application resource preview bar is smaller than the second distance value, it is indicated that a distance exists between the top end of the application resource preview bar and the top end of the visual range, and when the application resource preview bar is displayed between the carousel bar and the application bar, the top of the carousel bar is moved out of the visual range, and the bottom of the carousel bar is still displayed in the visual range.

If a navigation bar is displayed above the carousel bar, the navigation bar will also move out of the visual range along the top of the visual range and disappear from the visual range after the device homepage moves up once. In addition, the method for determining whether the carousel bar moves out of the visual range may also adopt other manners, which are not listed here.

In some embodiments, to enable the user to feel the smooth movement of the device homepage and to inform the user of the association of the application resource preview bar with the application bar, different animation effects may be employed to move when the display device 200 key controls the device homepage to move up as a whole in response to the user triggering the remote control. In this process, the controller 250 is further configured to perform the steps of:

step 241, responding to the first control instruction, starting the first animation, and smoothly moving the device homepage upwards.

In step 242, during the execution of the first animation, the second animation is started, the second area is shifted downwards by a preset shift amount and the transparency is set to be the first transparency, and the second area shifted downwards is shifted upwards by a first distance value and the transparency is set to be the second transparency, wherein the first transparency is greater than the second transparency.

The first animation acts on the device home page. The first animation may be a longitudinal upward movement animation that may produce an effect of a smooth movement of the device home page, and the first duration of the movement animation may be 250ms. The first animation can be other animations, the first time length can be other numerical values, and the forward sliding effect can be achieved. The display device 200 enables control focus to move down in response to a user triggering a remote control key down, the device home page being shifted up as a whole. When the application bar obtains the control focus, a moving animation with a length of 250ms and a longitudinal upward direction is started, so that the position change of the homepage of the equipment can be smooth, and the effect of smooth movement is achieved.

The second animation acts on the application bar. The second animation may be a gradual fade-in animation that is longitudinally downward and then longitudinally upward, and the second duration of the second animation may be 250ms. The second animation can be other animations, the second duration can be other values, and the gradual fade-in effect can be achieved. The start-up time of the second animation may be the same as the start-up time of the first animation or later than the start-up time of the first animation.

Taking the example that the starting time of the second animation is later than the starting time of the first animation in the process that the display device 200 controls the whole device homepage to move upwards, when the first animation is started and executed to 150ms, the display device 200 sets a preset offset amount of 200% of downward offset for the application bar and sets the transparency of the downward offset application bar to be the first transparency, so as to realize a longitudinally downward animation effect. After the downward shift, the display device 200 starts a longitudinal upward animation for the application bar, and starts a gradual fade-in animation when moving longitudinally upward; meanwhile, the transparency of the application bar moving upwards is set to be second transparency, and the second transparency is smaller than the first transparency, so that the animation effect of gradually fading in the longitudinal direction is realized.

The preset offset may also be set to other values, such as 150%, 230%, etc., which are not limited herein. The first transparency may be 100% and the second transparency may be 0%, the larger the transparency value, the more transparent the image and the smaller the transparency value, the more clear the image.

In some embodiments of the present application, when the display device 200 moves up the device homepage, the user may perceive the effect of the device homepage moving up and down by starting the first animation; by starting the second animation, the user can perceive the effect that the application bar moves smoothly from bottom to top and fades in gradually. In the upward moving process, the application bar and the application resource preview bar are both configured with animations, so that a user can be informed that the application bar and the application resource preview bar have an association relationship, and the user experience is improved.

The display device 200 may also configure the carousel bar with gradually fading animations as the device home page moves upward. After the device home page has been moved up, a free area is created between the carousel field and the application field, and the display device 200 starts a fade-in animation for 100ms for the application resource preview field, and displays the application resource preview field above the application field.

The starting time of the fade-in animation of the application resource preview column can be after the second animation of the application column is executed, or can be simultaneously with the starting time of the second animation, or can be in the execution process of the second animation. If the starting time of the fade-in animation of the application resource preview bar can be after the second animation of the application bar is executed, the fade-in animation of the application resource preview bar is started after 400ms passes by the time when the user presses the key of the remote controller (i.e. the application bar obtains the control focus). Here 400ms is the sum of 150ms of the first animation that has been performed and 250ms of the full duration of the second animation that has been performed.

In some embodiments, when the second area is an application bar and the application bar displays an application list, in order to facilitate displaying each application icon in the application list, the second area includes a plurality of option areas, and the option areas are used for displaying different kinds of information in the second type of resource information. One category information corresponds to one application, i.e., an option area for displaying different application icons.

After the control focus has moved down once, the second area obtains a control focus, which is located on the first option area in the second area. To facilitate the user being able to perceive the current position of the control focus, the controller 250 is further configured to: and responding to the first option area to obtain a control focus, starting a third animation, magnifying the first option area, and displaying the first option area in a magnified state. The first option area is a first option area in the application bar, and the third animation may be a zoom-in animation.

FIG. 13 illustrates a changing schematic of an application bar according to some embodiments. Referring to fig. 13 (a), the size of each option area in the application bar is the same before the user triggers the movement of the device homepage. Referring to fig. 13 (b), after the second animation of the application bar is performed, the display device 200 starts a zoom-in animation for the first option area, and zooms in on the first option area so that the user can perceive the current position of the control focus.

Wherein the starting time of the enlarged animation is after the execution of the second animation by the application bar is completed. If the enlarged animation is executed when the user triggers the key press, the user may not be able to see the enlarged process of the first option area because the first animation of the homepage of the device is in progress, which is disadvantageous for the user to perceive the position of the control focus.

In some embodiments of the present application, after a user moves a control focus to an application bar by triggering a remote controller direction key, an application resource preview bar can be displayed on one side of the application bar, and corresponding animations are respectively configured for a device homepage, a carousel bar, an application bar and the application resource preview bar, so that the user can perceive forward movement of the device homepage, and also can perceive relevance of the application bar and the application resource preview bar, and user experience is good.

S3, in response to the first area obtaining the control focus, canceling display of a third area in the equipment homepage.

After the control focus is obtained in the application bar and the application resource preview bar is displayed on one side of the application bar, the user triggers the remote controller to key down again, the control focus leaves the application bar and moves to the waterfall position, and the application resource preview bar is still displayed on one side of the application bar.

If the user wants to hide the application resource preview column, the control focus can be moved to the carousel column, the carousel column is displayed in the visible range again, and meanwhile, the application resource preview column is hidden. In this process, the display device 200 sets the presentation attribute of the application resource preview column to none, and hides the application resource preview column when the control focus is located in the carousel column. It can be seen that the display of the application resource preview field is related to whether the application field has control focus, and the hiding of the application resource preview field is related to whether the carousel field has control focus.

FIG. 14 illustrates a method flow diagram for hiding an application resource preview column at a device home page in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, referring to fig. 14, the controller 250, upon executing the obtaining of the control focus in response to the first region, is further configured to cancel the display of the third region in the device homepage by:

and S31, when the control focus is positioned in the second area, responding to a second control instruction, and moving the control focus from the second area to the third area.

S32, responding to a third control instruction, and moving the control focus from the third area to the first area.

And S33, in response to the first area obtaining the control focus, canceling display of a third area between the first area and the second area so as to enable the first area and the second area to restore to adjacent states.

The second control instruction and the third control instruction may be generated in the same manner as the first control instruction, and a key value signal that triggers the generation of a direction key of the remote controller is taken as an example for explanation.

FIG. 15 illustrates a schematic diagram of a device home hidden application preview column in accordance with some embodiments. Referring to fig. 15 (a), a control focus is obtained in an application field, and an application resource preview field is displayed between a carousel field and an application field, for example, a user triggers an up key of a direction key of a remote controller once. The display device 200 controls the device homepage to move down once as a whole and controls the focus to move up from the application bar to the application resource preview bar in response to the first key value signal of the user triggering the up key.

Referring to fig. 15 (b), the user again activates the up key of the direction key of the remote controller. The display device 200 controls the device homepage to move downward once again in response to the second key value signal that the user triggers the up key, and controls the focus to move upward from the application resource preview bar to the carousel bar.

Referring to fig. 15 (c), the display apparatus 200 hides the application resource preview bar displayed between the carousel bar and the application bar in response to the carousel bar obtaining the control focus, and the apparatus home page is restored from the second state to the first state, i.e., the first area and the second area restore the adjacent state. In this process, the display device 200 sets the presentation attribute of the application resource preview column to none, hiding the application resource preview column.

In some embodiments, the display device 200 may configure the application resource preview bar with a fade-out animation to move the application resource preview bar out from between the multicast bar and the application bar when the display of the application resource preview bar is canceled.

In a scene that the application resource preview bar is displayed in the device homepage and the carousel bar disappears from the visual range of the display 260, the display device 200 hides the application resource preview bar in the device homepage, and then moves the carousel bar downward and displays the carousel bar in the original position of the application resource preview bar, so that the carousel bar and the application bar are restored to the adjacent state. The process of controlling the carousel bar to move downwards by the display device 200 may also be implemented by animation, which is not described herein.

In some embodiments, the application list displayed by the application bar may be updated, for example, the user may customize the installation of a new application or the platform may issue a new application, etc. Currently, new applications are generally arranged at the last position of the application list, so that a user cannot quickly perceive the new application of the display device 200, and the user experience is poor.

S42, comparing the current category information list with the new category information list, and identifying at least one new category information in the new category information list.

S43, displaying each kind of information in the new kind of information list in each option area of the second area correspondingly, and adding an identification on the option area where at least one new kind of information is located.

The current category information list refers to a list originally stored in the system, such as an original application list; the new category information list refers to a list after updating content in the system, such as a new application list. The display apparatus 200 detects applications installed in the system in real time, and if the display apparatus 200 detects that there is an newly added application in the system, the original application list and the new application list are compared, and at least one newly added application is identified in the new application list.

Fig. 17 illustrates a comparative schematic of an application list, according to some embodiments. Referring to fig. 17 (a), five applications a to E exist in the original application list, and if the display apparatus 200 recognizes a new application K, M, R by comparison of the new application list and the old application list. Referring to fig. 17 (b), the display apparatus 200 adds an identifier in the option area where the above three newly added applications are located, so that the user recognizes the newly added applications.

In some embodiments, after adding the identifier, if the user clicks on the application configured with the identifier, the display device 200 modifies the properties of the application, removing the identifier to characterize that the application is not a new application.

In some embodiments, a new application list is displayed in the application bar, and an application icon in the new application list is displayed in an options area. When each application icon is displayed, new category information in the new category information list is displayed in the option area at the front end of the second area, and the remaining category information in the new category information list is displayed behind the option area at the front end. For example, when there are an original application and a new application in the new application list, referring again to fig. 17 (b), the new application may be displayed at the front end of the application bar, and the original application may be displayed at the rear of the new application.
