The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described as follows with reference to accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, those described herein are just parts of the embodiments of the present disclosure rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, any other embodiment obtained by a person skilled in the art without paying any creative effort shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
As illustrated in
step 101: receiving an operation instruction from a remote controller;
step 102: judging whether a user operation satisfies a preset instruction condition according to the operation instruction;
step 103: if so, displaying operation instruction information of the remote controller on a user operation interface, the operation instruction information being indicative of an operation of the remote controller.
To be noted, the embodiment of the present disclosure is performed by an operation instructing apparatus for a remote controller of an intelligent television, which can be disposed in a set-top box of the intelligent television, but not limited thereto.
The operation instructing method for the remote controller of the intelligent television provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can judge, after receiving an operation instruction from the remote controller, whether a user operation satisfies a preset instruction condition according to the operation instruction; and if so, can display operation instruction information of the remote controller on a user operation interface, the operation instruction information being indicative of an operation of the remote controller. By displaying the operation instruction of the remote controller, the present disclosure solves the problem in the prior art that since the service contents in the current intelligent television are numerous, and the operation mode varies with the service content, a misoperation will easily occur when certain service content is operated in a conventional operation mode, and the application of the service content is tedious and complex.
In step 102, judging whether a user operation satisfies a preset instruction condition according to the operation instruction can be implemented as follows:
judging whether an operation record of a service content selected by the operation instruction is locally stored.
The service content in the present disclosure may be, but not limited to, live video, video on demand, electronic game, television and broadcast, public service information, government messages, etc. The operation record of the service content can be locally stored in, but not limited to, the set-top box of the intelligent television.
The operation record of the service content may be, but not limited to, time, specific operational motions, etc. for applying various service contents.
The preset instruction condition may be that when no operation record of a service content is locally stored, i.e., the service content is used initially, the operation instruction information of the remote controller can be displayed on the user operation interface, wherein, the operation instruction information of the remote controller includes corresponding function prompt information of each key of the remote controller in the service content, and operation method prompt information for each function in the service content. Thus, when initially applying a certain service content, the user can be prompted how to apply the service content, so as to avoid the user's misoperation.
For example, in the service content of video on demand, when a service content of video on demand is initially applied, the function prompt information of each key of the remote controller as illustrated in
In addition, if an operation record of the service content is locally stored, operation time corresponding to the operation record can be further acquired to determine the latest operation time. Next, it is judged whether a time difference between the latest operation time and the current time is larger than a preset time threshold.
The preset instruction condition in step 102 may be that the time difference is larger than the preset time threshold. When the time difference is larger than the preset time threshold, it means that the user does not apply a certain service content during a long time period, and the operation instruction information of the remote controller can be displayed on the user operation interface. Thus, when the user does not apply a certain service content during a long time period, in order to prevent any misoperation on the service content by the user, the user can be prompted how to apply the service content, i.e., corresponding function prompt information of each key of the remote controller in the service content, and operation method prompt information of each function in the service content will be displayed. The corresponding function prompt information of each key of the remote controller in the service content, and operation method prompt information of each function in the service content can be exhibited by static pictures or animations.
In step 102, judging whether a user operation satisfies a preset instruction condition according to the operation instruction can also be implemented as follows:
judging whether the number of misoperations on a service content locally stored is larger than or equal to a preset misoperation number threshold.
The preset instruction condition may be that the number of misoperations on a service content is larger than or equal to a preset misoperation number threshold.
If the number of misoperations on the service content is larger than or equal to the preset misoperation number threshold, it means that the user performs multiple misoperations, i.e., the user may not acquire the operation mode of the service content, thus the operation instruction information of the remote controller can be displayed on the user operation interface. The operation instruction information of the remote controller includes corresponding function prompt information of each key of the remote controller in the service content, and operation method prompt information of each function in the service content.
The number of misoperations on each service content can be locally stored, and the above misoperations on the service content for example may be as follows. In the service content of video on demand, the up arrow and the down arrow on the remote controller indicate the channel switching, and the left arrow and the right arrow indicate the volume adjustment. If the user continuously takes the following actions within a short period of time, i.e., switching to another channel, then returning to the original channel, and adjusting the volume, it means that the user wants to adjust the volume, while performing a misoperation of channel switching. In that case, one misoperation can be locally recorded; if the misoperation appears again, two misoperations will be locally recorded, and so on. When the number of misoperations is too large and the operation instruction information of the remote controller is displayed on the user operation interface, the number of the local misoperations can be set as 0 for recounting when any misoperation appears subsequently.
In step 102, judging whether a user operation satisfies a preset instruction condition according to the operation instruction can also be implemented as follows:
judging whether an operation combination formed by respective operation instructions within a preset time satisfies a preset expected service content calling instruction condition.
The preset instruction condition may be that an operation combination formed by respective operation instructions within a preset time satisfies a preset expected service content calling instruction condition. That is, after the user performs a series of operations, it can be judged that the user may want to apply a certain service content. For example, in the service content of live video, when the user continuously switches between a plurality of sports channels, the sports game wanted to be watched by the user can be determined, i.e., a service content of sports channel program list shall be applied.
If the operation combination formed by respective operation instructions within the preset time satisfies the expected service content calling instruction condition, the user operation interface displays the operation instruction information of the remote controller, which includes prompt information of a method for jumping from the current service content to the expected service content, corresponding function prompt information of each key of the remote controller in the expected service content, and operation method prompt information of each function in the expected service content.
For example, as described above, the service content of sports channel program list shall be applied, while the current service content still may be a certain live video channel, then the user can be prompted to switch to the main menu for seeking a sports channel program list therein, so as to find the required live video channel quickly.
As illustrated in
Step 201: an operation instructing apparatus for a remote controller of an intelligent television receives an operation instruction from the remote controller.
Step 202: judging whether an operation record of a service content selected by the operation instruction is locally stored; if so, performing step 203, otherwise performing step 204.
Step 203: judging the user operation type according to the operation instruction.
If the user operation type is a normal operation, performing step 205; if the user operation type is a misoperation, performing step 206; and if the user operation type is that an expected service content shall be called, performing step 204.
Step 204: displaying operation instruction information of the remote controller on the user operation interface.
The operation instruction information of the remote controller includes corresponding function prompt information of each key of the remote controller in the service content, and operation method prompt information for each function in the service content. Or, the operation instruction information of the remote controller includes prompt information of a method for jumping from the current service content to the expected service content, corresponding function prompt information of each key of the remote controller in the expected service content, and operation method prompt information of each function in the expected service content.
Step 205: calling a service content corresponding to the operation instruction, without displaying the operation instruction information of the remote controller.
Step 206: judging whether the number of misoperations on a service content locally stored is larger than or equal to a preset misoperation number threshold; if so, performing step 204, otherwise performing step 205.

The operation instruction information of the remote controller includes corresponding function prompt information of each key of the remote controller in the service content, and operation method prompt information for each function in the service content.
