Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The method for inputting the numbers in the embodiment of the application can be applied to large-screen display equipment such as intelligent televisions, intelligent screens, displays and projectors, and can also be applied to electronic equipment such as tablet computers, notebook computers, personal computers, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), netbooks, personal digital assistants (personal digital assistant, PDA) vehicle-mounted equipment and the like, and the embodiment of the application does not limit the specific types of the electronic equipment.

Before introducing the digital input method and the technical scheme of the electronic equipment, the technical terms possibly related to the application are introduced as follows.

Child mode: a restrictive and regulatory system mode is provided in an electronic device by parents in order to prevent children from engaging in networks and accessing content beyond age limits. For example, a parent may set applications that the electronic device is permitted to use, duration of use, content displayed, etc. in a child mode. In addition, when exiting the child mode, a password is required to be input, and when the password is correct, the child mode can be exited.

Focal point: the control that receives events and processes responses in the non-touch screen display device is a control with focus (focused). Only one control with focus can be presented in one display window or display interface for one time. In the embodiment of the present application, the display box for currently inputting the password may be regarded as the focus.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a password input in a display device. As shown in fig. 1, when the display apparatus 200a is networked, a user is required to input a password using the remote controller 200b to access the network.

Referring to fig. 1, the display interface 210 of the display device 200a may display text contents "please input" the password of the LSLDXA "network", and may further include a password input box 211, a connection button 212, and a keyboard display area.

When a user inputs a password using the remote controller 200b, a corresponding letter, number, character, etc. can be selected in the keyboard display area by the directional keys such as the up key 224, the down key 222, the left key 221, and the right key 223 of the remote controller 200 b. After the letters, numbers and characters are selected, the corresponding display frame, i.e. the focus of the display interface 210, may be highlighted or highlighted to alert the user to the selected state. After selection, the user may effect input by clicking on the ok button 226. Referring to fig. 1, when a user selects the number 9, the display frame 213 of the number 9 is in a highlighted state, and when the user clicks the ok button 226, the number 9 may be input into the password input frame 211. When the user finishes inputting the password, the user can move the focus into the connection button 212 through the direction key, and perform a connection-to-network operation by clicking the ok button 226.

In the process of inputting the password, the number or letter selected by the user is highlighted, the password is easy to be obtained by other people or children, and privacy of the user is not protected.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a password entry exiting child mode in a display device. Referring to fig. 2, when the display apparatus 300 sets the child mode, when the child mode is exited, a card 320 is displayed in a display interface 310 of the display apparatus 300, addition and subtraction calculation questions of a traditional Chinese character are randomly appeared in the card 320, and four numbers to be selected appear, and a user is required to select an answer to the calculation questions from the four numbers to be selected. Illustratively, the addition and subtraction calculation is entitled "three times two equals", the four candidate numbers are "6, 2, 0, 8", and when the user selects the numbers 6 and 0 through the remote controller 200b, the display device 300 determines that the answer input is correct, and the child mode may be exited. It should be appreciated that the correct answer may be considered a password to exit child mode.

In the process of inputting the digital answers, the complex characters are required to be identified to determine the answers and input, so that the difficulty of a part of children exiting the child mode is improved, but after the children learn the complex characters and arithmetic, the children can freely exit the child mode, and the child mode is similar to a dummy mode.

In view of this, the embodiment of the application provides a method and an electronic device for inputting numbers, which can quickly input a number password by combining a direction key of a remote controller with a volume up-down key calculation mode, so that the selection of the number password in a form of displaying an interface focus is avoided, and the security of inputting the password can be improved.

It should be understood that the method for inputting numbers in the embodiments of the present application may be applied to any scenario in which a user inputs a digital password. For example, a scenario in which a digital password is required to be input when exiting the child mode, a scenario in which a digital authentication code is required to be input, a scenario in which a payment password is required to be input, and the like. Hereinafter, the present application will take the example of exiting the child mode and inputting a number password as an example to describe the method of inputting a number, but this should not cause any limitation on the applicable scenario of the present application.

When the user sets the child mode in the display device, a password needs to be set. After entering child mode, when the user wishes to exit child mode, a password is entered. When the input password is the same as the preset password, the display device can exit the child mode and display a normal system interface.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a set of graphical user interfaces (graphical user interface, GUI) provided by an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 3, the GUI is a display interface 310 of a display device 300. When the user exits the child mode, a card 320 may be displayed in the display interface 310, a title bar 321 may be displayed in the display card 320, a text content "exit child mode" may be displayed in the title bar 321, and a number input area may be further included in the display card 320, where the number input area may include a number of number input boxes. The number entered by the user is the password.

It should be appreciated that the display device 300 may be a smart screen, smart television, or the like, which requires remote control operation.

It should be appreciated that the number of digital input boxes may be related to the number of digits of the password set by the user. For example, if the user sets a 6-digit numeric password, the number of the numeric input boxes may be 6; if the user sets a 4-digit numeric password, the number of numeric input boxes may be 4.

When a user inputs a number, the number may be input through the direction keys of the remote controller, the up key 224, the down key 222, the left key 221, and the right key 223, or the number may be input through the direction keys in combination with the volume up key 231 or the volume down key 232.

Referring to fig. 4 for exemplary purposes, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a remote control directional key map number. In a scenario where a number is required to be input, the up key 224 in the direction key of the remote controller 200b may map to the number 2, the right key 223 may map to the number 5, the down key 222 may map to the number 8, and the left key 221 may map to the number 0. The volume up key 231 of the remote controller 200b may map the function +1 and the volume down key 232 may map the function-1. Thus, the user can input the numerals 0 to 9 by combining the up-down, left-right direction keys of the remote controller 200b with the volume up-down keys.

For example, the user may input number 0 through the left key, number 1 through the left key up volume up key, number 2 through the up key up volume up key, number 3 through the up key up volume down key, number 4 through the right key up volume down key, number 5 through the right key up volume up key, number 6 through the right key up volume down key, number 7 through the down key up volume down key, number 8 through the down key up volume up key, and number 9 through the down key up volume up key.

It should be appreciated that when a user desires to enter a number in combination with a direction key and a volume key, a certain direction key and a certain volume key may be pressed simultaneously. For example, when inputting the number 1, the user may press the left key and the volume up key simultaneously, or may press the up key and the volume down key simultaneously.

In other examples, the remote control 200b may display 2 for the area of the up key 224, 5 for the area of the right key 223, 8 for the area of the down key 222, and 0 for the area of the left key 221.

It should be appreciated that the manner in which the above-described directional keys map numbers is merely one example. In other examples, the up key 224 may map to the number 0, the right key 223 may map to the number 2, the down key 222 may map to the number 5, and the left key 221 may map to the number 8. Alternatively, the four keys may be mapped with four numbers 1, 4, 5, 8, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

With continued reference to fig. 3, the card 320 may include 6 digital input boxes therein, i.e., requiring the user to enter a 6-digit numeric code. When the user inputs a number through the remote controller 200b, the current number input box may be in a selected state (e.g., highlighted color display) to prompt the user as to what number of passwords the number currently input is. And after the user finishes inputting the current number, if the display device 300 determines that the current number is correctly input, the identifiers such as "+,", etc. can be displayed in the number input box, and the number is not specifically displayed, so that the security of the input password can be improved.

For example, for the third digit, when the user selects the input box 321 for the third digit, the input box 321 may be highlighted in color. After the user presses the direction key or the direction key of the remote controller and inputs the third digit in combination with the volume key, the display device 300 may receive the command sent by the remote controller and determine the digit input by the user according to the command. If the display device 300 determines that the third digit is correct, the current input box 321 may display identification information such as "+"; if the display device 300 determines that the third digit is wrong, the current input box 321 may be red-displayed, or the current card 320 or the display interface 310 may be dithered to alert the user of the password input error of the current digit.

In other examples, the card 320 may further include a function button 322, and when the user selects to turn off the function button 322, the number input by the user in the input box 321 may not be specifically displayed, but the identification information of "×", etc. described above is displayed. When the user selects to turn on the function button 322, the number entered by the user in the input box 321 may be specifically displayed.

It should be understood that the mapping relationship between the direction key and the number of the remote controller and the mapping relationship between the combination key and the number between the direction key and the volume key in the scene of inputting the number may be stored in the display device, and for example, the mapping relationship may be stored in the mapping table. Alternatively, the mapping relationship may be stored in the cloud.

When a user inputs a number through the remote controller, the display device can receive a target instruction of the remote controller, acquire a target number corresponding to the target instruction through the mapping table, and determine whether the target number input by the user is correct or not by comparing the target number with a stored password.

In other examples, the mapping relationship between the direction key and the number of the remote control and the function type (e.g., +1 or-1) of the volume key may be stored in the display device, and when the display device receives the first instruction of the direction key and the second instruction of the function type of the remote control, the corresponding function (e.g., +1 or-1) may be performed on the number mapped by the direction key to determine the final number.

It should be understood that the first instruction and the second instruction may be received by the display device at the same time, or may be received at predetermined intervals. For example, when the user presses the up key and the volume up key simultaneously, the display device may receive the first instruction and the second instruction simultaneously, determine that +1 is performed on numeral 2 mapped to the up key according to the first instruction and the second instruction, and determine numeral 3; when the user presses the direction key first and presses the volume key again in the interval between t1, the display device can determine that the interval time between the first instruction and the second instruction is within the preset time t1, and then +1 can be executed on the number 2 mapped by the upper key to determine the final number 3.

In another example, when the user presses the first direction key and presses the second direction key again within the preset time t1, a number corresponding to the first direction key may be input.

It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, when the user double-clicks the volume key, it may be considered to be an operation of +1, that is +2, twice. When the user double clicks the volume down key, it may be considered to be an operation of-1, i.e., -2, twice.

In the embodiment of the application, the user can quickly input the digital password in the display device in a mode of combining the direction key and the direction key of the remote controller with the volume key, so that the selection of the digital password in the form of the focus of the display interface is avoided, and the security of inputting the password can be improved. And the input digital password is invisible to the user, so that the password can be prevented from being acquired by children or others, and the security of the password input by the user can be protected. In addition, the display device can also judge whether the password input by the user is correct bit by bit, and when the error is determined, a prompt can be output to the user, so that the user can input all the passwords again when a certain password is wrong, and the user experience can be improved.

The technical scheme of inputting numbers by the user through the direction key and the volume key of the remote controller will be described in detail with reference to fig. 5.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a set of GUIs provided in an embodiment of the present application. Here, a process in which the user inputs a numerical password in the display device 400 using the combination key of the remote controller 200b is shown from (a) to (f) in fig. 5.

The method 700 of the embodiment of the application can be applied to a scene that a user inputs numbers in a display device through a remote controller.

For example, when the remote controller detects an operation in which the user presses a direction key of the remote controller, a first instruction may be transmitted to the display device. For example, when the user presses one of the up, down, left, or right keys, the remote control may send a first instruction to the display device, which may be used to map a number. Correspondingly, the display device receives the first instruction.

Referring to fig. 4, the upper key of the remote controller may map a number 2, the right key may map a number 5, the lower key may map a number 8, and the left key may map a number 0, and when the user presses the upper key of the remote controller, the remote controller may transmit a first instruction to the display device, which may be used to map the number 2.

It should be understood that the direction keys of the remote controller may also map other numbers, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

720, the electronic device determines whether a second instruction of the input device is received, the second instruction being for indicating to add an operation or subtract an operation on the first number.

For example, when the remote controller detects an operation in which the user presses a volume key of the remote controller, a second instruction may be transmitted to the display device.

Referring to fig. 4, a volume up key of the remote controller may indicate an up operation and a volume down key may indicate a down operation. For example, after the user presses the direction key and continues to press the volume up key, the remote controller may send a second instruction to the display device, where the second instruction is used to instruct to add one to the first number mapped by the first instruction.

At 730, in the case of determining that the second instruction is received, the electronic device determines whether a time interval between receiving the first instruction and receiving the second instruction is less than a first preset duration.

In one possible implementation, the user may press the direction key and the volume key of the remote control simultaneously, and the electronic device may receive the first instruction and the second instruction simultaneously.

In another possible implementation, the user may press the direction key of the remote control first, and then continue to press the volume key, and the electronic device may determine whether a time interval between receiving the first instruction and receiving the second instruction is less than a first preset duration.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the specific value of the first preset duration is not limited, and may be, for example, 3s, 5s, etc.

740, if the time interval is less than or equal to the first preset duration, the electronic device calculates the first number according to the second instruction, so as to obtain the first target number.

And under the condition that the electronic equipment determines that the time interval is smaller than or equal to the first preset time length, carrying out corresponding operation on the numbers mapped by the first instruction according to the operation mode indicated in the second instruction so as to obtain first target numbers.

In one example, referring to (a) in fig. 5, the first instruction may map a number 2, and the second instruction may be for indicating an addition operation, where when the display device determines that the time interval is less than or equal to the first preset time period, the addition operation may be performed on the number 2 to obtain a number 3, where the number 3 is the first target number.

In another example, referring to (b) in fig. 5, the first instruction may map a number 2, and the second instruction may be for indicating a subtraction operation, where when the display device determines that the time interval is less than or equal to the first preset time period, the subtraction operation may be performed on the number 2 to obtain a number 1, where the number 1 is the first target number.

750, the electronic device inputs a first target number.

The electronic device illustratively inputs the first target number in the display screen. For example, a number is entered in a password entry box.

In some embodiments, the method 1000 may further comprise:

if the time interval is determined to be greater than the first preset duration, the electronic device inputs a first number.

In this embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device determines that the time for receiving the second instruction and the time for receiving the first instruction are longer than the first preset duration, which means that the interval time between the user pressing the direction key and the volume key of the remote controller is longer, the user may wish the electronic device to input the first number, and the electronic device may directly input the first number mapped by the first instruction. The technical scheme is beneficial to the user to conveniently input the first number.

In some embodiments, the method 1000 may further comprise:
