Example two

Fig. 4A-4H exemplarily show a GUI400 provided by the display apparatus 200 by operating the control device 100.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments shown in fig. 4A to 4H, the display device adopts the input method, and the language type is english, which are taken as examples to describe in detail, if the display device adopts other input methods, the implementation process is similar to that of the display device adopting the input method; in addition, the input method software keyboard area 401 corresponding to the input method may be different from that shown in fig. 4A to 4H, for example, the input method software keyboard area 401 may be located in the left half of the GUI displayed on the display, or the input method software keyboard area 401 may be located in the right half of the GUI displayed on the display, or the input method software keyboard area 401 may further include a "background" image or the like.

For example, when the GUI400 currently displayed by the display apparatus is as shown in fig. 4A, and the user wants to search for a movie, the user may input a movie name or content related to the movie name, and the display apparatus displays the GUI400 as shown in fig. 4B by the user operating the same key or different keys among the "up" key, the "down" key, the "left" key, and the "right" key on the control device a plurality of times, in response to a key instruction input by the user, and in the GUI400 as shown in fig. 4B, the selector 404 for indicating that any item is selected is located in the item "search program".

Next, the user inputs a key instruction to the display apparatus by pressing the "ok" key on the control device, and the display apparatus may provide a GUI400 as described in fig. 4C to the display in response to the key input instruction, the GUI400 including an input method software keyboard area 401, a text input box 402, and an identification box 403 for indicating a confirmation search, wherein the input method software keyboard area 401 includes a keyboard area 4011, and since the user does not input any character, the input method software keyboard area 401 may not display the candidate word set area 4012 and more candidate word set areas 4013 by default.

Next, the user can move the position of the selector 404 to a key position corresponding to the first character in the input method software keyboard region 401 by operating the direction key on the control apparatus 100, where the first character is the character to be input by the user. For example, the first character is "y", the user can move the position of the selector 404 to a key position corresponding to the "y" letter in the input method soft keyboard region 401 by pressing a direction key of the control apparatus, and the display device provides the GUI400 as shown in fig. 4D to the display in response to a key instruction input by the user.

Further, the user determines that the user inputs the first character in response to the key input instruction by pressing the "ok" key in the pressure control device, and at the same time, in response to the first character input instruction input by the user, the display apparatus provides the display with a GUI400 as shown in fig. 4E, the GUI400 including a keyboard area 4011, a candidate word set area 4012, a text input box 402, and an identification box 403 for indicating a confirmation search, wherein the text input box 402 includes the first character, the candidate word set area 4012 includes 3 candidate words in the first candidate word set, the first candidate word set is determined by the display apparatus based on the first character input by the user, the remaining candidate words in the first candidate word set other than the 3 candidate words included in the candidate word set area 4012 can be displayed through the more candidate word set area 4013, and the display manner of the more candidate word set area 4013 is called as described in the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail herein.

Additionally, in the GUI400 shown in fig. 4E, each candidate word in the candidate word set region 4012 carries an identifier, which may be a numeric identifier, e.g., the first key candidate word in the candidate word set region 4012 carries an identifier of ①, the second key candidate word in the candidate word set region 4012 carries an identifier of ②, and the second key candidate word in the candidate word set region 4012 carries an identifier of ③.

In practical applications, the identifier carried by the candidate word in fig. 4E may adopt other display styles, for example:

alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

the above fig. 4E is only an example, and is not a limitation to the specific implementation of the identifier carried by the candidate word in the present application.

By adding the identifier to the candidate word, the user can quickly input the target candidate word by operating the physical key corresponding to the identifier carried by the candidate word on the control device, and the input efficiency is improved.

Next, after the user inputs the first character, if it is determined that the candidate word carrying the identifier ① is the target candidate word according to 3 candidate words in the candidate word set area 4012 shown in fig. 4E, the user may respond to the candidate word determination instruction input by the user by pressing a physical key corresponding to the number "1" in the pressure control device, and the display device provides the GUI400 shown in fig. 4F to the display, where the GUI400 shown in fig. 4F includes an input method soft key area 401, a text input box 402, and an identification box for indicating confirmation of search, where the text input box 402 includes the target candidate word.

Next, as shown in fig. 4G, the user may move the position of the selector 404 into the identification box 403 for indicating confirmation of the search by operating the direction key on the control device, and the user instructs the display device to perform a search according to the target candidate word in the text input box 402 by pressing the "ok" key of the control device, after which the display device may display the searched content related to the target candidate word in the text input box 402.

In practical applications, if the candidate word displayed in the candidate word set region 4021 has a low degree of fit with the content that the user wants to input according to the content displayed in fig. 4E, or the user wants to view more candidate word set regions 4013 for other reasons, the user moves the position of the selector 404 to a candidate word whose candidate word set region is located at a middle position by operating the control device, and the display device provides the GUI400 shown in fig. 4H to the display in response to a key instruction, where the GUI400 shown in fig. 4H further includes: the more candidate word set area 4013, the more candidate word set area 4013 includes 6 candidate words, the 6 candidate words are candidate words related to the text content (i.e. the first character) in the text input box 402, the 6 candidate words in the more candidate word set area 4031 are marked with identifiers, and the identifiers are digital identifiers, if the user determines that a certain candidate word in the more candidate word set area 4031 is a target candidate word, the user can quickly input the target candidate word by operating a physical key on the control device corresponding to the digital identifier marked at the target candidate word.

In practical applications, the user may also input a plurality of characters after inputting the first character. Here, the second character is input as an example for detailed description:

illustratively, after the user inputs the first character to the display device, further by operating the control means, the position of the selector 404 is moved to a key position corresponding to the second character "o" in the keyboard image, the user inputs a key instruction to the display device by pressing the "ok" key on the control means, in response to which the display device provides the display with the GUI400 as shown in fig. 3A, the GUI400 as shown in fig. 3A includes a keyboard region 4011, a candidate word set region 4012, a text input box 402 and an identification box 403 for indicating confirmation search, wherein the text input box 402 includes the first character "y" and the second character "o", and the first character and the second character may be arranged from left to right in the input order; and the candidate word set area 4012 includes 3 candidate words, where the 3 candidate words are determined jointly according to the first character "y" and the second character "o", except for the 3 candidate words included in the candidate word set area 4012, the remaining candidate words may be displayed through the more candidate word set area 4013, and the display manner of the more candidate word set area 4013 is as described in the above embodiments, which is not described herein again.

In the GUI400 shown in fig. 3A, each candidate word in the candidate word set region 4012 is tagged with an identifier, which may be a numeric identifier, for example, the candidate word at the first key in the candidate word set region 4012 is tagged with a numeric identifier ①, the candidate word at the second key in the candidate word set region 4012 is tagged with a numeric identifier ②, and the candidate word at the second key in the candidate word set region 4012 is tagged with a numeric identifier ③.

If a candidate word having an identifier of ② is determined to be a target candidate word from 3 candidate words in the candidate word set area 4012 shown in fig. 3A, the user can respond to the key input instruction by pressing a physical key corresponding to the number "2" in the pressure control device, and the display device provides the display with a GUI400 shown in fig. 3B in which a GUI400 shown in fig. 3B includes an input method softkey area 401, a text input box 402, and an identification box 403 for indicating confirmation of a search, wherein the target candidate word is included in the text input box 402.

Next, the user can move the position of the selector 404 into the identification box 403 for instructing confirmation search by operating the control means, and the user instructs the display device to perform search according to the target candidate word in the text input box 402 by pressing the "ok" key of the control means, after which the display device can display the searched content related to the target candidate word "yoga" in the text input box 402.

In practical applications, if the user needs to check more candidate words, the user can call up more candidate word set areas 4013 by operating the control device. The operation manner of calling out more candidate word set areas 4013 is described in the above embodiments, and is not described herein again.

For example, the display apparatus may provide the GUI400 shown in fig. 3C to the display, in the GUI400 shown in fig. 3C, the more candidate word set region 4013 includes 6 candidate words, the 6 candidate words are determined jointly based on the first character "y" and the second character "o", the 6 candidate words in the more candidate word set region 4031 are marked with numeric identifiers, and if the user determines that a certain candidate word in the more candidate word set region 4031 is the target candidate word, the user may quickly input the target candidate word by operating a physical key on the control apparatus corresponding to the numeric identifier marked at the target candidate word by pressing a numeric key "4" on the control apparatus, for example, the user inputs a command to the display apparatus by pressing the numeric key "4" on the control apparatus, the display apparatus converts the command into a numeric identifier ④, then searches for a candidate word with a numeric identifier ④ in the more candidate word set region 4031 based on the numeric identifier, and displays the GUI400 shown in fig. 3D, in which the input box 402 includes a numeric identifier "hayoa ④" of the candidate word input text input by the user.

According to the scheme, through inputting more key characters, the contact degree between the candidate words in the second candidate word set and the content which the user wants to search is improved, and the user can find the target candidate words related to the content which the user wants to search more quickly.

It should be noted that, in practical applications, after the user inputs the first character and the second character, a plurality of characters may also be input, and a processing manner of the display device after the user inputs more characters is similar to a processing manner of the display device after the user inputs the second character, and details are not repeated here.

In other possible designs, the user may also input audio to the display device by a voice mode, and the display device performs voice recognition on the audio input by the user to obtain a voice instruction therein, and further responds to the voice instruction input by the user to perform a corresponding operation.
