The basic idea of the present invention is: when the mobile terminal plays the television program, it is judged whether the received new message satisfies the pre-set concurrent processing condition, and when the new message satisfies the concurrent processing condition, the content of the new message is synchronously displayed in the A specific area of the TV interface.

The solution described in the present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.

In order to enable the user to read a new message when the mobile terminal plays the television program, the present invention adds a function of reading a new message when the television program is played in the setting menu, and the user reads or closes the function of reading the new message when the television program is played according to the actual situation; By setting the menu to set the grouping of the phone number, after reading the new message function when the TV program is started, it is further possible to further set the content of the new message to which the group belongs to be displayed on the TV interface; for example: the phone is set through the setting menu. The grouping of numbers is set to: colleague, customer, classmate, stranger, etc., and further set to allow the new message to which the colleague group belongs to be displayed synchronously on the television interface, so that the new message to which the colleague group belongs meets the concurrent processing condition, when playing the television program Synchronizes the new message to which the colleague group belongs.

In addition, a semi-transparent layer is set on the upper layer of the TV interface to display a new message, and the position of the semi-transparent layer on the television interface is determined by setting a specific area displayed by the new message. You can display the new message that meets the concurrent processing conditions on the TV interface according to the above settings by setting the interface transparency, display mode, and displayed content; for example: Start a translucent, fully transparent screen in the upper part of the screen according to the user's settings. Or an opaque interface, displaying the content of the new message by scrolling subtitles; wherein the content displayed by the new message on the television interface may include any one or more of the following combinations: new message date, time, sender name, phone number Number and message body, etc.

The method for synchronously displaying a new message when playing a television program provided by the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, includes the following steps:

Step 101: When the mobile terminal plays the television program, it is judged whether the received new message satisfies the pre-set concurrent processing condition; when the concurrent processing condition is satisfied, step 102 is performed; otherwise, step 103 is performed.

Step 102: Synchronize the content of the new message in a specific area of the television interface, that is, concurrently perform a television broadcast and a message display function, and end the current processing flow.

Step 103: Perform only the TV playback function.

The specific implementation process of the method shown in Figure 1 in the actual application, as shown in Figure 2, includes the following steps:

Step 201: The mobile terminal detects whether there is a new message in real time. If there is a new message, step 202 is performed; otherwise, step 201 is performed cyclically.

In this step, the short message module of the mobile terminal can detect whether there is a new message in real time. This process is a prior art and will not be described in detail herein.

Step 202: Determine whether the mobile terminal is playing a television program. If the television program is being played, perform step 203; otherwise, perform step 210.

In this step, the state of the television broadcast flag bit can be used to determine whether the mobile terminal is playing a television program, for example: when the flag bit is 1, it indicates that the mobile terminal is playing a television program, and when the flag bit is 0, it indicates that the mobile terminal does not play the television program. program. Step 203: Determine whether the current setting is to open the function of reading a new message when playing a television program. If the function is enabled, step 204 is performed; otherwise, step 209 is performed.

In this step, the function of reading a new message when the television program is played is set in advance through the setting menu, and is judged by the corresponding status bit, for example: When the user sets the function of reading the new message when the television program is turned on, the corresponding status bit is Is 1, otherwise, the corresponding status bit is 0.

Step 204: Determine whether the new message satisfies the concurrent processing condition. If the concurrent processing condition is met, the mobile terminal enters the concurrent processing mode, and step 205 is performed; otherwise, step 209 is performed.

In this step, the user can pre-group the phone numbers through the setting menu according to their own hobbies and habits, such as a colleague, a customer, a classmate, a stranger, etc., and further set a message allowing the messages to which the group belongs to be simultaneously displayed on the television interface;

When receiving a new message, if the function of reading the new message is turned on when the television program is played, the mobile terminal first determines the grouping situation of the telephone number to which the new message belongs according to the setting information, and then determines whether to allow the new message to be synchronously displayed when the television program is played according to the grouping situation. If the new message is allowed to be synchronously displayed when the television program is played, indicating that the new message satisfies the concurrent processing condition, the mobile terminal enters the concurrent processing mode, and step 205 is performed; otherwise, step 209 is performed; here, the entering the concurrent processing mode is Means that the television broadcast and message display functions are concurrently executed, and the television broadcast and message display functions are concurrently executed in steps 205 and 206;

For example: The mobile terminal first determines whether the phone number to which the new message belongs is in the phone book, if it is in the phone book, determines the grouping of the phone number, and if it is not in the phone book or cannot obtain the phone number for special reasons, it is determined to be a stranger. Then, according to the grouping of the phone number, it is judged whether the new message can be synchronously displayed on the television interface.

Step 205: The user selects whether to browse for a new message. If the user chooses to browse for a new message, step 206 is performed; otherwise, step 209 is performed.

Step 206: The mobile terminal synchronously displays the content of the new message on the television interface according to the preset setting of the user. In this step, in order to reduce the influence on the television broadcast, a specific area of the new message display, interface transparency, display mode, and displayed content may be set through the setting menu; the display manner of the new message may include: scroll display, non- Scrolling display, etc.; the displayed content may include: new message date, time, sender name, phone number, message body, etc., the user may select one or more of the above combinations of content to be displayed on the television according to actual conditions. Specific areas of the interface; for example: To reduce the impact on TV playback, the user can only choose to display the sender's name and message content in the upper half of the screen in a way that scrolls the subtitles, so as not to affect the playback of the TV program. You can also read the new message and view the details of the message through the information module after the TV program has finished playing.

Step 207: Detect whether there is still a next new message. If there is a next new message, return to step 204; otherwise, go to step 208.

Step 208: The mobile terminal exits the concurrent processing mode.

Step 209: The mobile terminal normally performs the play television function, and ends the current processing flow. Step 210: View the new message through the short message module.

In order to implement the above method, the present invention further provides a device for synchronously displaying a new message when playing a television program. As shown in FIG. 3, the device includes: a concurrent processing module and a concurrent display module;
