Embodiments of the invention

The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

1 is a schematic flow chart of a method for changing a station according to a gesture provided by an embodiment of the present invention For the convenience of description, only parts related to the embodiment of the present invention are shown.

In step S101, the gesture preset by the user and the corresponding relationship between the gesture preset by the user and the channel are recorded.

The preset gesture is a common, relatively simple gesture such as 'triangle' or 'circle'.

In an embodiment of the invention, the user will draw a 'triangle' gesture on the touchpad with 'CCTV-5 'The channel corresponds, the 'circle' gesture drawn on the touchpad corresponds to the 'Fengyun Football' channel, and the 'rectangular' gesture drawn on the touchpad corresponds to the 'Guangdong Sports' channel, which will be The 'diamond' gesture drawn on the touchpad corresponds to the 'European Football' channel.

In step S102, it is detected whether there is a gesture input currently, and if not, the process proceeds to step S103. If yes, proceed to step S104 to further determine whether the input gesture is the gesture preset by the user. If not, proceed to step S105 to remain the original state, and if yes, proceed to step S106. According to the corresponding relationship between the gesture and the channel preset by the user, the source is switched to the corresponding channel.

In a specific embodiment provided by the present invention, when the user inputs a 'triangle' gesture, and the gesture is step S101 When the gesture is recorded in the middle, the TV goes to the channel corresponding to the 'triangle' gesture (eg, 'CCTV-5' channel). Similarly, the input of other gestures and the switching of channels can be pushed.

Through this, the user wants to be concerned about In the four football channels of 'CCTV-5', 'Guangdong Sports', 'European Football', and 'Fengyun Football', when you switch in sequence, you only need to input different gestures in quick and convenient, without re-adjusting the channel. The number of the number.

2 is a schematic flow chart of a method for changing a station according to a gesture provided by an embodiment of the present invention For the convenience of description, only parts related to the embodiment of the present invention are shown.

In practice, there may also be a situation where the new input gesture coincides with the prior recorded gesture during the gesture preset phase. In this case, the system may be confused or other users may unintentionally input others first. Covered by the matching relationship.

In order to avoid this, the flow chart of the method according to the gesture switching in FIG. 1 is omitted. Based on the addition of a step:

S201 When the user preset gesture and the corresponding relationship between the gesture preset by the user and the channel are recorded, if there is a preset gesture of the same or similar previously recorded user, the reminder information is sent to the user.

This ensures that when a certain recorded gesture is coincident with the previously recorded gesture, it can be reminded. On this basis, the user can choose to abandon the new record, or after weighing, communicating, using the new The correspondence between the gesture and the channel covers the correspondence between the old gesture and the channel, and avoids the situation of memory confusion caused by multiple recordings or unintentional coverage of others' prior recording.

FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a method for changing a station according to a gesture provided by an embodiment of the present invention For the convenience of description, only parts related to the embodiment of the present invention are shown.

In practice, there may also be a problem: the gesture input by the user and the preset two gestures are similar to each other, especially when the user inputs the 'rectangular', because the input is not standardized, and the user inputs the 'rectangular' gesture, while Similar to the 'rectangular' and 'circular' recorded in the system, the system does not recognize whether the user intended to input 'rectangular' or 'prototype'.

In this unrecognized situation, if the system randomly selects a possible approximate gesture as the gesture input by the user and then matches the corresponding channel, it will inevitably cause confusion and a poor user experience.

Therefore, based on the flow diagram of the method according to the gesture switching in FIG. 2, a step is added:

S301 When it is detected that there is currently a gesture input, and the input gesture is similar to two or more user preset gestures, the preset gesture similar to the input gesture is pushed to the user, and the user is requested to push the location. A further selection is made in the preset gesture that is similar to the entered gesture.

The specific pushing method can display the user's previous preset graphic on the screen, such as displaying a rectangle on the left side of the screen and a circle on the right side. At this time, the user further confirms the gesture to be input by clicking the left or right side of the touch screen.

Through this method, the system can notify the user in time when the user input is not standardized, and the user can confirm and correct the deviation again.

Given the growing importance of intellectual property in today's products and services, including copyright (copyright), trademark rights and patent rights, all three rights can bring enormous economic value to rights holders.

However, unlike copyright and trademark rights, the ownership of patent rights is more difficult to recognize and discern. For example, in a training material or a movie, the words “copyright belongs to a specific person” will be clearly notified to the user; the trademark is also distinguished from other standards by its distinctive words or figures. Represents the related products produced by the trademark owner and the trademark owner. However, patents are not. Apart from a limited number of patents such as 'sliding and unlocking', it is difficult for a user to see a patent and know the application/right holder of the patent.

The serious consequences of this situation are:

1. The protection of patent rights is difficult. Once a good technology comes out, it will be copied immediately;

2 The patent/applicant's effect of showing its own product features through patents is poor, because the user is also unclear about the connection between a certain technology and the patent/applicant.

According to the above reasons, it is necessary to clarify who the owner of the technology belongs to when the user experiences the convenience. For this reason, based on the previous embodiment, step S401 is introduced. When the playback source is switched to the corresponding channel according to the corresponding relationship between the gesture and the channel preset by the user, the patent reminding information is pushed to the user.

The patent information includes, but is not limited to, the state of patent application of the technology, the patent application of the technology / Information on the right holder, the patent application number of the technology, the patent application date, and the like.

The patent information is editable, and can be dynamically pushed to the user according to the authorization of the patent application: the patent is being applied for, the patent authorization has been obtained, and the like.

The patent information is editable and can be based on patent application rights / The transfer of patent rights, dynamically pushed to the user: the current relevant rights holder of the patent.

The pushing manner of the patent information may adopt a small frame display, a voice display, and the like, so that the user can perceive the push mode.

For a better user experience, the patent information does not have to be pushed every time, and may be set to be pushed once when the number of times the user changes the number of gestures according to the gesture exceeds a certain threshold.

According to the above method, while the user enjoys the technical convenience, the rights of the technical inventor or the intellectual property owner are also highlighted and protected.
