A commonly used presentation form of a user interface is a Graphical User Interface (GUI), which refers to a user interface related to computer operations that is displayed in a graphical manner. It may be an interface element such as an icon, a window, a control, etc. displayed in a display screen of the electronic device, where the control may include at least one of a visual interface element such as an icon, a button, a menu, a tab, a text box, a dialog box, a status bar, a navigation bar, a Widget, etc.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the operating system of the display device 200 is divided into four layers, an application layer (application layer), an application framework layer (Application Framework layer), a An Zhuoyun row (Android run) and a system library layer (system runtime layer), and a kernel layer, respectively. In some embodiments, at least one application program is running in the application program layer, and the application programs may be a Window (Window) program of an operating system, a system setting program or a clock program, etc., such as a calendar application; or may be an application developed by a third party developer.

The menu of the display apparatus 200 includes a plurality of options, each of which corresponds to a function, and the user can instruct the display apparatus 200 to perform the function corresponding to the option by selecting the option in the menu. For example: the menu a includes an option a, and the function corresponding to the option a is mute, and the user instructs the display device 200 to mute by selecting the option a.

Generally, the display apparatus 200 displays the same menu in a fixed pattern. The menu refers to a menu in which a style can be changed, for example: shortcut menus, toolbars, etc. The style of the menu may include: options displayed on the menu, a display area of the options on the menu, a display order of the options on the menu, and the like. That is, each time the display device 200 displays the same menu, a fixed display area on the menu displays fixed options in a fixed display order, which results in the same style of menu being seen by any user when the display device 200 is instructed to display the menu. For example: the style of menu a is: the three fixed options are always displayed in the display order of option a, option b and option c from top to bottom in the entire display area of menu a, and the display device 200 displays menu a in this style every time.

As the display device 200 is developed, the display device 200 may provide more abundant functions, and accordingly, options that the display device 200 may display on a menu are more numerous. When the display apparatus 200 displays a menu in a fixed pattern, if the fixed pattern is to display a large number of fixed options on the menu, the user cannot quickly find his or her desired options due to the excessive options when using the menu. Moreover, the fixed options displayed on the menu by the display device 200 may be some of all the available options, and at this time, it appears that none of the fixed options displayed on the menu is the option required by the user, and the user needs to expand all the options or search the corresponding system menu to find the option required by the user. It can be seen that the user needs to expend much time and effort to find his or her own desired options when using the menu displayed in a fixed pattern by the display apparatus 200, and the experience of use is low.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for displaying a menu, which may be applied to the display device 200 shown in fig. 1, 3, or 4 or other display devices. Taking the display device 200 shown in fig. 1, 3 or 4 as an example, by executing the display method, when displaying the screen of the media application, for example, a web tv application, a high-definition multimedia interface (High Definition Multimedia Interface, HDMI) application, a live tv, etc., a menu can be displayed based on the menu data corresponding to the user account, and since the menu data can reflect the use requirement of the user, the menu displayed according to the menu data will also more conform to the use requirement of the user.

The display device 200 may display a menu according to the flow shown in fig. 5, and the specific steps are as follows:

s501, receiving a display instruction input by a user.

The display instruction is used for indicating to display a menu.

The display instruction may be sent by the user based on a key on the control device 100. Taking the control apparatus 100 as an example of a remote controller including a menu (menu) key, the user can send a display instruction to the display apparatus 200 by pressing the menu key.

The display instruction may be sent by the user based on a menu key on the user interface. The user can move the focus to the menu key by manipulating the control device 100 and select the menu key to transmit a display instruction to the display device 200.

The menu refers to a menu in which a style can be changed, for example: shortcut menus, toolbars, etc. The menu includes at least one option. The at least one option refers to all options that can be displayed in a menu, wherein each option corresponds to one function of the display device 200 to set up a screen of the media application.

S502, responding to the display instruction, and displaying a menu.

When the display device 200 displays a menu in response to a display instruction, a style of displaying the menu is selected according to the user account and menu data.

S5021, if a logged-in user account is detected, displaying a menu of a first style corresponding to a different user account.

The user account has corresponding user data, namely, data generated by operation after a user logs in the user account on any display device. After the display device logs in the user account, if the user uses a menu on the display device, user data corresponding to the menu, namely menu data, is generated.

The user data may be stored in a cloud server. After logging in the user account, the display device 200 will obtain the right to acquire the user data of the user account. After connecting to the cloud service, the display device 200 may obtain user data from a cloud server, for example: and acquiring menu data from the cloud server.

If the menu data exists in the user data, the user is informed of using the corresponding menu on the display device logged in with the user account. The menu data may reflect the use requirement of the user to use the corresponding menu, for example: preferences, habits, etc. of the user for using the menu. Therefore, if the first style of the menu is determined according to the menu data and the menu is displayed in the first style, the displayed menu can be more in line with the use requirement of a user.

Wherein the first pattern determined from the menu data includes at least: the first options are displayed on the menu, a first display area used for displaying the first options on the menu, and a first display sequence of the first options in the first display area. The first option is at least one of options that can all be displayed on the menu, and the first display area is part or all of the display areas of the menu. The display device 200 displays the menu of the first style as: and displaying the first options in a first display sequence in a first display area of the menu.

And S5022, if the fact that the user account is not logged in currently is detected, displaying a menu of a fixed second style.

If an unregistered user account is detected, it is indicated that the display device 200 does not have permission to acquire user data.

If the logged-in user account is detected, but the menu data is not identified, that is, the menu data does not exist in the user data, the user is not used for the corresponding menu on the display device logged in with the user account.

In this case, it is explained that the display apparatus 200 cannot obtain menu data that can reflect the user's use requirement, and at this time, the display apparatus 200 may display a menu of a default style, that is, a menu of a second style.

Wherein the second pattern comprises at least: the second options are displayed on the menu, a second display area used for displaying the second options on the menu, and a second display sequence of the second options in the second display area. The second option is at least one of the options which can be displayed on the menu, and is the option displayed on the menu by default. The second display area is a part or all of the display areas of the menu, and is a default display area. The second display order is a default display order. The display device 200 displays the menu of the second style as: and displaying the second options in a second display sequence in a second display area of the menu.

Therefore, when the display device 200 displays the menu, the menu of the first style can be displayed according to the menu data when the user account is logged in and the menu data exists, so that the menu meets the personalized use requirement of the user. And when the user account is not logged in or is logged in, but no menu data exists, displaying a menu of a second style, namely a menu of a default style, so that the menu can meet the common use requirement of a user.

In some embodiments, the display device 200 may update the menu data according to the flow shown in fig. 6, with the following specific steps:

S601, if the display device logs in the user account, recording the use data of each menu.

If the display device 200 has logged in to the user account, the usage data generated by the user using the menu will be stored as user data. Wherein, the usage data of the usage menu may include: editing data of the style of the menu by the user, using data of each option in the menu by the user, and the like.

S602, the menu data of the menu is updated with the usage data.

The usage data of the usage menu may reflect the usage requirements of the user using the menu. For example: if the user frequently uses a certain option in the menu, the user is indicated to have higher use requirement on the function corresponding to the option. If the user edits the style of the menu, it is stated that the user is more inclined to use the style of the edited menu. Therefore, the original menu data is updated by using the usage data, so that the updated menu data can more accurately reflect the real use requirement of the user, the menu displayed based on the updated menu data can be further ensured, and the real use requirement of the user can be more met.

Wherein, the menu data of the menu updated by using the usage data can be: and replacing corresponding data in the original menu data by using the using data of the last menu.

Example 1

The user can edit the style of the menu so that the edited menu meets the use requirement of the user.

If the display device 200 is turned on for the first time, the display device 200 may record menu data of a user's use menu according to the flow shown in fig. 7, which is specifically as follows:

the display device 200 detects whether it is first powered on, where first powered on refers to first powered on after the display device 200 leaves the factory.

After the display apparatus 200 detects the first power-on, if a display instruction input by the user is received, the display apparatus 200 displays a menu in response to the display instruction. Since the display apparatus 200 displays a menu after the first power-on, the style of the menu is generally a second style, i.e., a default style. Taking the control device 100 as a remote controller, the remote controller includes a menu key, and taking a menu corresponding to the menu key as a shortcut menu B, all options that can be displayed on the shortcut menu B include: option b1, option b2, option b3, option b4 and option b5 are examples. The user presses a menu key of the remote controller to transmit a display instruction to the display device 200. The display device 200 displays the shortcut menu B in the second style in response to the display instruction. Wherein, if the second style is to display the option B1, the option B2, and the option B3 in order from left to right in the entire display area of the shortcut menu B, the display device 200 may display the shortcut menu B as shown in fig. 8.

The display device 200 detects whether a user account has been logged in, wherein if the display device 200 detects a logged-in user account, a database of the user account is created, the database being used to record menu data of a menu used by a user under the user account. If the display device 200 detects an unregistered user account, a database of default accounts is created. For example: the display device 200 creates a default account number for the user and creates a database for the default account number for recording menu data of a menu used by the user under the default account number.

The display device 200 monitors a user operation of the user using the menu after detecting that the database has been created.

The display apparatus 200 recognizes whether to edit the menu according to a user operation. For example: the display apparatus 200 may monitor whether an instruction input by the user based on an edit option on the menu is received, the edit option being an entry into an edit interface of the menu. If the command is received by monitoring, the user can be determined to edit the menu. Taking the shortcut menu B shown in fig. 8 as an example, the shortcut menu B further includes an edit option 801, and the edit option 801 is an entry into an edit interface of the shortcut menu B. If the display apparatus 200 receives a first selection instruction input by the user based on the editing options 801, it may be determined that the user edits the menu. Another example is: the display apparatus 200 may determine that the user edits the menu by listening to an editing interface of whether to display the menu, if the editing interface is displayed. Taking the example that the display device 200 displays an editing interface 901 corresponding to the shortcut menu B as shown in fig. 9 in response to the first selection instruction. The editing interface 901 includes all options that can be displayed on the shortcut menu B, namely, option B1, option B2, option B3, option B4, and option B5. If the display device 200 listens to the display editing interface 901, it may be determined that the user edits the menu.

If it is determined that the user edits the menu, the display apparatus 200 records an edit record.

Wherein the display device 200 can record the edit record as follows:

the user can edit the style of the menu by selecting the options in the edit menu, wherein the options selected by the user are the first options, and the sequence of selecting the first options by the user is the first display sequence of displaying the first options on the menu. Taking the editing interface 901 shown in fig. 9 as an example, the user sequentially selects the option b3, the option b1, and the option b 5. As in the selection sequence shown in (1) - (3) of fig. 9, the user controls the focus to sequentially move to option b3, option b1, and option b5 through the remote controller, and selects the corresponding option. The selected option will be marked as shown in fig. 9, and the options b1, b3 and b5 will be marked as "v" in the selection box on the option, which indicates that the display status of the corresponding option is display, i.e. the option is displayed on the menu. The non-selected option will not have a flag, as shown in fig. 9, the selection boxes on options b2 and b4 are empty, and if the option does not have a flag, the display status of the option is hidden, i.e. the option is not displayed on the menu. The user can accurately determine the display state of each option based on the editing interface 901 so as to facilitate the subsequent operation. The first display area is the same as the second display area in the second style if the user does not reselect the display area, and is still the full display area of the shortcut menu B if the second display area is the full display area of the shortcut menu B.

Thus, the edit record generated in the editing process is selected from the options B1, B3 and B5, i.e. the first option is the options B1, B3 and B5, the selection sequence is the options B3, B1 and B5, i.e. the first display sequence is the options B3, B1 and B5, and the first display area is the whole display area of the shortcut menu B.

The display device 200 will display the menu of the first style according to the above-described edit record, and as shown in fig. 10, the shortcut menu B displays the option B3, the option B1, and the option B5 in order from left to right in the entire display area. If the user uses the shortcut menu B shown in fig. 10, the display device 200 will record the generated usage data, i.e., record the user menu operation.

If it is determined that the user does not edit the menu, the display apparatus 200 will always display the shortcut menu B as shown in fig. 8. If the user uses the shortcut menu B shown in fig. 8, the display device 200 will record the generated usage data, i.e., record the user menu operation. The usage data recorded by the display device 200 may reflect usage habits of the user using the menu, such as selection operations for the respective options, and the like.

Before the display device 200 is turned off, menu data generated by a user using a menu has been effectively stored, whereby when the display device 200 logs in to the user account or the default account, if the menu is displayed again, the menu will be displayed according to the stored menu data.

If the display device 200 is not first powered on, menu data of a user's menu may be recorded according to the flow shown in fig. 11, specifically as follows:

after the display device 200 detects the first power-on, if a display instruction input by a user is received, the display device 200 responds to the display instruction, and detects whether the user account is logged in currently and whether the user account is logged in before displaying a menu.

If a logged-in user account is detected, the display device 200 identifies the user account, i.e. obtains specific account information of the user account, such as an account name, a storage address of user data, etc.

The display device 200 identifies whether the user account has menu data, which comprises the following specific steps:

the display device 200 identifies whether the user account has created a database. For example: the display device 200 may acquire user data in accordance with the storage of the user data and recognize whether a database exists in the user data.

If it is recognized that the database has been created, the display apparatus 200 reads data in the database, i.e., menu data. The display apparatus 200 recognizes whether or not the menu data has an edit record of a menu, wherein if the edit record is present, a menu of a first style is displayed according to the edit record, and if the edit record is not present, a menu of a second style is displayed. If the shortcut menu B is taken as an example, the shortcut menu B as shown in fig. 8 is displayed.

If it is recognized that the database is not created, the display apparatus 200 creates a database of the user account for recording menu data of a menu used by the user under the user account. The display apparatus 200 displays a menu of the second style after creating the database. If the shortcut menu B is taken as an example, the shortcut menu B as shown in fig. 8 is displayed.

Wherein, if the display device 200 recognizes that the edit record exists, the display device 200 may display a menu of a first style according to the flow shown in fig. 12, specifically as follows:

s1201, acquiring menu data corresponding to the user account.

As known from the above specific steps of recording edit recordings by the display device 200, the display device 200 records each edit recording of the menu by the user, and if the user edits the menu a plurality of times, the display device 200 generates a plurality of edit recordings. Thus, the edit record of the display apparatus 200 includes a record generated by editing the display area, display order, and display state of each option at a time.

S1202, acquiring a target editing record from the editing records.

The target edit record is a record generated by editing the display area, display order, and display state of each option last time. I.e. the latest edit record. The first style corresponding to the target edit record can be regarded as the style which best meets the use requirement of the user.

S1203 determines a display area in the target edit record as a first display area, a display order in the target edit record as a first display order, and an option whose display state in the target edit record is display as a first option.

Taking shortcut menu B as an example, if it is determined that the target edit record is: the option B1, the option B3 and the option B5 are selected, the selection order is the option B3, the option B1 and the option B5, and the display area is the whole display area of the shortcut menu B. The display apparatus 200 determines the entire display area of the shortcut menu B as the first display area, determines the selection order as the first display order for the option B3, the option B1, the option B5, and determines the options B1, the option B3, and the option B5 as the first option.

The display apparatus 200 displays the shortcut menu B according to the first option, the first display order, and the first display area determined as described above, that is, displays the shortcut menu B as shown in fig. 10.

If the user uses the menu, the display apparatus 200 will record the generated usage data, i.e., record the user menu operation. The usage data recorded by the display device 200 may reflect usage habits of the user using the menu, such as selection operations for the respective options, and the like.

If the display device 200 detects that the user account is not logged in, the display device 200 displays a menu of a second style. If the shortcut menu B is taken as an example, the shortcut menu B as shown in fig. 8 is displayed.

Therefore, the user can edit the style of the menu according to the own use requirement, and when the display device 200 displays the menu, the menu of the first style is displayed according to the edit record of the menu edited by the user, so that the menu meets the personalized use requirement of the user.

Example 2

Based on the menu of the first style described in embodiment 1, the display apparatus 200 may also automatically adjust the style of the menu according to the menu data.

The display device 200 may display a menu according to the flow shown in fig. 13, with the following specific steps:

s1301, acquiring menu data corresponding to the user account.

The description is given with reference to the flow shown in fig. 14. If the display device 200 receives a display instruction input by a user, the display device 200 detects whether a user account is currently logged in and whether menu data exists in the user account before displaying a menu in response to the display instruction. If a logged-in user account is detected, and the user account has menu data. Wherein the menu data includes the edit record in embodiment 1, and further includes the number of uses of each first option.

S1302, determining common options according to the use times of the first options.

The display apparatus 200 determines the commonly used option according to the number of times of use of each first option. The common option is a first option with the use times being greater than or equal to a first preset times. Taking shortcut menu B as an example, the menu data includes: the first option is option b1, option b3 and option b5, wherein the menu data further comprises: the number of uses of option b1 was 0, the number of uses of option b3 was 20, and the number of uses of option b5 was 25. If the first preset number of times is 20, the common options are option b3 and option b5.

S1303, identifying whether the number of the common options is greater than or equal to the number of the preset options.

The number of preset options is a positive integer greater than 0.

S1304, if the number of the common options is greater than or equal to the preset number, displaying the first options in the first display area in the third display order.

If the number of preset options is equal to 1, the display apparatus 200 reorders the first options and displays the first options in the reordered third display order whenever the presence of the common option is recognized.

If the number of preset options is greater than 1, it is necessary to identify that a sufficient number of common options exist, the display device 200 reorders the first options and displays the first options in the reordered third display order.

The third display order may be to arrange the first options from high to low by the number of uses. Wherein if the number of uses of at least two first options is equal, the first option ordered earlier in the first display order is ordered earlier in the third display order.

In the above example, the third display sequence is: option b5, option b3, option b1. The display device 200 will display the shortcut menu B as shown in fig. 15.

In some embodiments, the display device 200 may automatically hide the first options that are not commonly used by the user, to reduce the number of first options displayed, facilitating browsing by the user.

The display device 200 may automatically hide the first option according to the flow shown in fig. 16, and the specific steps are as follows:

s1601, determining the very-used option according to the number of times of use of each first option.

The very-used option is a first option with the use times smaller than the second preset times. Wherein the second preset times is less than or equal to the first preset times.

Taking the use number of the option b1 as 0 times, the use number of the option b3 as 20 times, and the use number of the option b5 as 25 times as an example, the second preset number of times as 5 times. Option b1 is a very common option.

S1602, no very common options are displayed on the menu.

In the above example, the display apparatus 200 hides the option B1, i.e., does not display the option B1 in the shortcut menu B. The display device 200 displays a shortcut menu B as shown in fig. 17, in which a hidden option B1 is indicated by a dotted line box.

The first option that is hidden will no longer be the first option.

S1603, if a restoration instruction of the user is received, restoration of displaying the very-commonly-used options on the menu is performed.

The resume instruction is for instructing to resume displaying the unusual option on the menu. The restoration instruction may be that the user selects an unusual option in the editing interface, that is, the user may edit the unusual option into the first option to be displayed again by editing the menu again.

The display device 200 will record the third display order and update the original first display order with the third display order, i.e. the third display order as a new first display order. And eliminating the hidden first options from the original first options, and taking the rest first options as new first options. If the display device 200 displays the menu again, the new first options (remaining first options after the hidden first options are removed) will be displayed in the new first display order (the third display order).

If the user uses the menu automatically ordered by the display device 200, the display device 200 will record the generated usage data, i.e. record the user menu operation. If the usage data includes data for using the first option, the display device 200 will accumulate the number of uses of the corresponding first option.

Before the display device 200 closes the menu, menu data generated by the user using the menu has been effectively stored, whereby when the display device 200 displays the menu again, the menu will be displayed according to the stored menu data.

Thus, the display device 200 may determine the use tendency of the user for each first option based on the number of times the user uses the first option, so as to display each first option in an order more conforming to the use tendency of the user, so as to be more convenient for the user to use. And, by hiding the options that are not commonly used by the user, the interference of these options to the user can be reduced.

Example 3

Based on the menus described in

embodiments

1 and 2, the display apparatus 200 may also automatically add options related to the use scenario to the menu according to the use scenario of the menu.

The display device 200 may display a menu according to the flow shown in fig. 18, with the following specific steps:

S1801, a use scenario of the menu is identified.

The description will be given with reference to the flow shown in fig. 19. The display apparatus 200, if receiving a display instruction input by a user, the display apparatus 200 recognizes a use scene of a menu before displaying the menu in response to the display instruction. For example: the usage scenario may be determined by the channel currently in use. For example: if the currently used channel is a TV channel, the usage scenario is live TV. If the currently used channel is an HDMI channel and the HDMI channel is connected to the game device, the usage scenario is a game scenario.

S1802, a fifth option of using the farm Jing Duiying is determined.

The fifth option is a use scenario-specific option, such as: the option specific to live tv is Channel Settings option, and the option specific to Game scene is Game space (Game Zone) option.

S1803, displaying a fifth option in a fifth display area on the menu, and displaying the first option in a first display order in the first display area.

The display apparatus 200, when displaying the menu, not only displays the respective first options in the first display order within the first display area, but also automatically adds and displays the fifth option within the menu. And displaying the fifth option in a fifth display area on the menu so as to display the fifth option and the first option in a subarea mode, so that a user can conveniently determine which options are specific to the current use scene.

The user has a high probability of using the option specific to the specific use scenario, and thus the fifth display area can be provided in front of the first display area, which is the front in the display order. For example: if the options in the menu are displayed from left to right, the fifth display area is displayed to the left of the first display area. If each selection in the menu is displayed from top to bottom, a fifth display area is displayed above the first display area. The user can notice and use the fifth option in the fifth display area preferentially, so that the operation of the user is facilitated. The sizes of the first display area and the fifth display area are adaptively adjusted.

Taking shortcut menu B as an example, if the display apparatus 200 recognizes that the usage scenario is a live tv, the display apparatus 200 may determine that the fifth option is a channel setting option. The display device 200 obtains a first option, a first display order, and a first display area of the shortcut menu B from a database of the user account, where the first option is an option B1, an option B3, and an option B5, the first display order is an option B3, an option B1, and an option B5, and the first display area is an example of all display areas. The display device 200 will adaptively shrink the first display area and add a fifth display area to the left of the first display area. The display device 200 will display a shortcut menu B as shown in fig. 20, wherein the fifth display area 2001 is at the left side of the first display area 2002, channel setting options are displayed in the fifth display area 2001, and option B3, option B1, option B5 are displayed in the first display area 2002 in order from left to right.

Example 4

Based on embodiments 1-3, the display apparatus 200 can ensure that the locked option is always displayed in the region visible to the user by locking the designated option so that the position where the locked option is displayed on the menu is always unchanged.

The display device 200 may display a menu according to the flow shown in fig. 21, with the following specific steps:

s2101, acquiring menu data corresponding to the user account.

The positions of the first option displays in the menu may be changed, for example, if the size of the first display area of the menu is small and all the first options cannot be displayed, a portion of the first options may be displayed in the first display area, the user may instruct the display device 200 to change the positions of the first option displays by sending a move instruction to the display device 200, for example, the first options may instruct the display device 200 to change the positions of the first option displays by following the menu displayed from left to right, and the display device 200 may move the positions of the first option displays to the left in response to the left instruction.

For the first option frequently used by the user, or the first option considered to be more important by the user, it may be referred to as a third option. The above manner of moving the display positions of the first options may cause a problem that the third option is moved out of the area visible to the user, and the user needs to move the third option to the area visible to the user again by sending a movement instruction to the display device 200.

To solve the above problem, the user can adjust the status information of each first option through the editing interface. The state information includes a locked state and an unlocked state. Wherein the state information of the third option is set to the locked state, and the state information of the remaining first option, i.e. the fourth option, is set to the unlocked state. The position at which the third option in the locked state is displayed on the menu is not changeable, i.e., the display apparatus 200 does not move the position of the third option in response to a movement instruction of the user. The position at which the fourth item in the unlocked state is displayed on the menu is changeable, i.e., the display apparatus 200 moves the position of the fourth item in response to a movement instruction of the user.

After the user sets the state information of each first option, the menu data includes the state information of each first option including a locked state and an unlocked state.

S2102, determining a third option and a fourth option from the first options according to the status information of each first option.

The display apparatus 200, if receiving a display instruction input by a user, the display apparatus 200 recognizes state information of each first option before displaying a menu in response to the display instruction. Wherein the first option with the state information in the locked state is determined as the third option, and the first option with the state information in the unlocked state is determined as the fourth option.

S2103 displays a third option in a third display area on the menu and displays a fourth option in a fourth display order in a fourth display area on the menu.

The third display area may be disposed in front of the fourth display area, which is the front in the display order. For example: if the options in the menu are displayed from left to right, the third display area is displayed to the left of the fourth display area. If each selection in the menu is displayed from top to bottom, the third display area is displayed above the fourth display area. The third display area is entirely within the area visible to the user. The user can notice and use the third option in the third display area preferentially, so that the operation of the user is facilitated. The sizes of the third display area and the fourth display area are adaptively adjusted.

The fourth display order corresponds to an order of the fourth option in the first display order. For example: if the fourth option is in the first display order in front of the order in the fourth display order, the fourth option is in the fourth display order in front of the order in the fourth display order, and if the fourth option is in the first display order in back of the order in the fourth display order, the fourth option is in the fourth display order in back of the order in the fourth display order.

Taking shortcut menu C as an example, if menu data of shortcut menu C includes a first option such as option C1, option C2, option C3, option C4, option C5, option C6, option C7, option C8, option C9, and option C10. The first display sequence is from left to right, and is selected from the group consisting of a selection item c1, a selection item c2, a selection item c3, a selection item c4, a selection item c5, a selection item c6, a selection item c7, a selection item c8, a selection item c9 and a selection item c10. Wherein, the state information of the option c3 and the option c10 is in a locked state, and the state information of the other options is in an unlocked state. If 8 options are displayable at most in the entire display area of the shortcut menu C, the display device 200 may display the shortcut menu C as shown in (1) of fig. 22 in response to the display instruction, wherein the option C3 and the option C10 are displayed in the third display area 2201 and the option C1, the option C2, the option C4, the option C5, the option C6, and the option C7 are displayed in the fourth display area 2202 in this order from left to right. While options c8 and c9 fail to be displayed in the region visible to the user. The user instructs the display apparatus 200 to move the position of the display of each option to the left by sending a left instruction to the display apparatus 200. In response to the leftward instruction, the display device 200 moves the options c1, c2, c4, c5, c6, c7, c8, and c9 in the entirety to the left, such as the position of one option in the entirety to the left, without moving the positions at which the options c3 and c10 are displayed, the display device 200 displays a menu as shown in (2) in fig. 22, in which the options c3 and c10 are displayed in the third display area 2201, and the options c2, c4, c5, c6, c7, and c8 are displayed in the fourth display area 2202 in this order from the left to the right.

Example 5

Based on embodiments 1-4, the display device 200 may display the parameters currently used by the option and the order of the parameters among the parameters on the option.

The display device 200 may display a menu according to the flow shown in fig. 23, with the following specific steps:

s2301, a movement instruction input by a user is received.

The movement instruction instructs to move the focus to a target option of the at least one option.

S2302, in response to the movement instruction, an information frame of the target option is displayed on the menu.

The information box includes the option name of the target option, the parameters currently used, and a scroll bar.

Wherein the scroll bar includes at least one indicator, each indicator representing a parameter, the order of the at least one indicator in the scroll bar being consistent with the order of the parameters of the target option in the parameter setting menu. The parameter setting menu is not the same menu as the current menu, but is a more complete setting menu, such as a system menu.

The indicator corresponding to the currently used parameter is marked to indicate the order of the currently used parameter among all the parameters of the target option. Based on this order, the user can directly check to the position of the parameter in the parameter setting menu.

S2303, an up instruction or a down instruction input by the user is received.

The up instruction indicates that the last parameter is used and the down instruction indicates that the next parameter is used.

S2304, switching the currently used parameter to the previous parameter in response to the up instruction, switching the currently used parameter to the next parameter in response to the down instruction, and updating the information box of the display target option.

Wherein updating the information frame of the display target option includes: the parameters currently used in the information box, the position of the indicator in the scroll bar, and the marked indicator are updated.

Taking the shortcut menu B shown in fig. 10 as an example, the user moves the focus to the option B1 by manipulating the remote controller, and if the option B1 is a mode option, the display apparatus 200 displays an information frame of the option B1 on the shortcut menu B. All parameters corresponding to option b1 (ordered according to their order in the parameter setting menu) are in turn: standard, soft, black and white, gorgeous, taking the parameters currently used by option B1 as a standard, taking the example that 3 indicators can be displayed by a scroll bar, the display device 200 can display a shortcut menu B as shown in (1) of fig. 24. The information box 2401 includes an option name b1 (which should be a pattern, abbreviated as b1 for unified presentation) of the option b1, a parameter "standard" currently used, and a scroll bar 2402. Wherein the scroll bar 2402 includes 4 indicators (shown as open circles) corresponding to standard, soft, black and white, and bright in order from top to bottom, with a mark (shown as black solid circles) on the first indicator. The user transmits a down instruction to the display apparatus 200, in response to which the display apparatus 200 switches the currently used parameter from "standard" to the next parameter "soft", and switches the mark to the soft corresponding indicator, the display apparatus 200 may display the shortcut menu B as shown in (2) of fig. 24.

In some embodiments, after adjusting the parameters of the options on the shortcut menu, the display device 200 also adjusts the parameters of the corresponding options in the parameter setting menu accordingly. The parameter setting of the system menu and the parameter setting of the shortcut menu of the display device 200 can be unified without the user entering the parameter setting menu again to perform manual adjustment.

In some embodiments, the display device 200 does not adjust the parameters of the corresponding options in the parameter setting menu after adjusting the parameters of the options on the shortcut menu. I.e. the settings of the system menu for the parameters are preserved, the user needs to manually adjust the parameter settings in the system menu. Therefore, the system menu and the shortcut menu can be decoupled, and the effect that the current application is carried out through the shortcut menu and the complete machine is respectively set through the system menu is achieved.

Example 6

Fig. 25 is a schematic diagram of a display screen according to an embodiment of the present application, where, as shown in fig. 25, the display screen on the display is a final screen, and the display screen is formed by stacking a plurality of display layers, that is, a video layer and an on-screen menu (On Screen Display, OSD) layer shown in the drawings. The video layer is used for displaying the picture of the application, and the OSD layer is used for displaying the menu. The OSD layer is displayed on top of the video layer to allow a user to see a menu displayed on top of the content of the video layer while viewing the picture of the application. In some embodiments, the video Layer may include one or more display layers (layers), and if the video Layer includes multiple display layers, each display Layer is superimposed according to a display hierarchy to obtain a final displayed video Layer. The OSD layer may include one or more display layers, and if the OSD layer includes a plurality of display layers, each display layer is overlapped according to a display level, to obtain an OSD layer to be finally displayed.

Take application a as an example of a web video application. After the user controls the display apparatus 200 to open the application a, the display apparatus 200 displays a screen of the application a at the video layer, such as a landscape video as shown in fig. 25. If the user transmits a display instruction to the display apparatus 200 through the menu key on the control apparatus 100, the display apparatus 200 recognizes that the network video application is currently used in response to the display instruction, a shortcut menu for setting a screen of the application a is displayed at the OSD layer, such as the shortcut menu B (refer to fig. 24) shown in fig. 25. The display order of the options in the shortcut menu may be customized by the user, where if the display device 200 detects that the user account is logged in, the options in the shortcut menu are displayed according to the display order corresponding to the user account. Therefore, the display of the shortcut menu does not influence the playing of the application A, and the user can set the application A on the shortcut menu while watching the application A. For example: while playing the screen of application a, the user can adjust the mode of the screen of application a through option B1 in shortcut menu B. Therefore, the user can observe the real display state of the picture of the application A in different modes in real time, so that the user can accurately select the mode meeting the requirements.

Example 7

The difference from embodiment 6 is that the display apparatus 200 displays a system menu and does not display a shortcut menu in response to a display instruction input by a user under a live tv such as a DTV.

The display device 200 may display a system menu according to the flow shown in fig. 26, and the specific steps are as follows:

s2601, when displaying a screen of a live television, receiving a display instruction input by a user.

S2602, in response to the display instruction, a system menu is displayed on the screen of the live television.

The system menu includes at least one option for setting a complete machine screen of the display device 200.

Steps S2601 to S2602 are described with reference to fig. 27. After the user controls the display apparatus 200 to turn on a Live television (e.g., live TV), the display apparatus 200 displays a picture of the Live television at a video layer, such as displaying a character video shown in fig. 27. If the user transmits a display instruction to the display apparatus 200 through the menu key on the control apparatus 100, the display apparatus 200 recognizes that the DTV is currently used in response to the display instruction, a system menu, which is a setting menu corresponding to a menu value for setting picture parameters of the whole apparatus, is displayed at the OSD layer. Wherein, each option in the system menu is arranged according to the preset fixed sequence of the system. As a parameter setting menu C shown in fig. 27, the parameter setting menu C includes an option C1, an option C2, and an option C3, the option C1, the option C2, and the option C3 being sequentially arranged from top to bottom in the order of system presets. The display of the system menu does not influence the playing of the live television, and a user can set the picture of the whole television on the system menu while watching the picture of the live television. Therefore, when the user sets the parameters of each option, the user can accurately select the parameters meeting the requirements by observing the real display state of the picture of the whole machine in real time.
