Similarly, the

100 such as a remote controller is connected to the

210, and the button command recognition module 2907-3 performs command interaction with the

100.

Fig. 7 exemplarily shows a configuration block diagram of a software system in the

200.

With respect to the

210, as shown in FIG. 7, the

2911, which includes executing operating software for handling various basic system services and for performing hardware related tasks, acts as an intermediary between applications and hardware components for performing data processing.

The

2914 may be implemented in the

2911 or in the

2912. In some embodiments, an aspect is implemented within the

2911 and concurrently in the

2912 for listening for various user input events, and will implement one or more sets of predefined operations in response to various events referring to the recognition of various types of events or sub-events.

The event or sub-event refers to an input detected by one or more sensors in the

2913.

The interface

2913 is configured to monitor the state of the user interface (including the position and/or size of the view partition, the item, the focus or cursor object, the change process, and the like), and according to the event or the sub-event, perform modification of the layout of the size and position, the hierarchy, and the like of the view display area, and/or adjust or modify the size or/and position, the number, the type, the content, and the like of the layout of various items in the view display area. In some embodiments, the layout is modified and adjusted, including displaying or not displaying the view partitions or the content of the items in the view partitions on the screen.

In some embodiments, the user may input a user command on a Graphical User Interface (GUI) displayed on the

200, and the user input interface receives the user input command through the Graphical User Interface (GUI). Alternatively, the user may input the user command by inputting a specific sound or gesture, and the user input interface receives the user input command by recognizing the sound or gesture through the sensor.

Since the

3911 of the

310 is similar to the

2911 of the

210 in function, reference may be made to the

2911 for details, which are not repeated herein.

As shown in fig. 8, the application layer of the display device includes various applications that can be executed at the

200.

The

2912 of the

210 may include, but is not limited to, one or more applications such as: a video-on-demand application, an application center, a game application, and the like. The

3912 of the

310 may include, but is not limited to, one or more applications such as: live television applications, media center applications, and the like. It should be noted that what applications are respectively contained in the

310 and the

210 is determined according to the operating system and other designs, and the present invention does not need to make specific limitations and divisions on the applications contained in the

310 and the

210.

The live television application program can provide live television through different signal sources. For example, a live television application may provide television signals using input from cable television, radio broadcasts, satellite services, or other types of live television services. And, the live television application may display video of the live television signal on the

200.

The application program center can provide and store various application programs. The application may be a game, an application, or some other application associated with a computer system or other device that may be run on a display device. The application center may obtain these applications from different sources, store them in local storage, and then be operable on the

200.

Since the

310 and the

210 may have independent operating systems installed therein, there are two independent but interrelated subsystems in the

200. For example, Android (Android) and various APPs may be independently installed on the

310 and the

210, and may all implement a certain function, and the

310 and the

210 cooperate to implement a certain function.

Fig. 9a schematically shows a user interface in the

200. As shown in fig. 9a, the user interface includes a first

2011 and a second

2021. The first

2011 and the second

2021 have substantially the same function, and only the first

2011 will be described in detail below. Illustratively, the

2011 includes layout of one or more different items. And a selector indicating that the item is selected is also included in the user interface, and a position of the selector can be moved by user input to change selection of a different item.

In some embodiments, the first

2011 is a scalable view display. "scalable," may mean that the first

2011 is scalable in size or proportion on the screen, and that the items in the first

2011 are scalable in size or proportion on the screen.

The "item" is displayed in a view display area of the user interface in the

200 to represent a visual object of corresponding content such as an icon, a thumbnail, a video clip, and the like. For example: the items may represent movies, image content or video clips of a television show, audio content of music, applications, or other user access content history information.

Further, the item may represent an interface or a collection of interfaces on which the

200 is connected to an external device, or may represent a name of an external device connected to the display device, or the like. Such as: a signal source input Interface set, or a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), a USB Interface, a PC terminal Interface, and the like.

A "selector" is used to indicate where any item has been selected, such as a cursor or a focus object. Positioning the selection information input according to an icon or menu position touched by the user in the

200 may cause movement of a focus object displayed in the

200 to select a control item, one or more of which may be selected or controlled.

Referring to the embodiment shown in fig. 1-9 a, the display device includes a

280, a

210, a

380, and a

310. As shown in fig. 1, the first display and the second display have different display sizes, the first display with a larger size plays a main display role, which is also called a main screen, and the second display with a smaller size plays an auxiliary display role, which is also called a sub screen.

The

210 controls the operation of the

200 and responds to user operations associated with the

280 by running various software control programs (e.g., an operating system and/or various application programs) stored on the

290. For example, control presents a user interface on the

280, the user interface including a number of UI objects thereon; in response to a received user command for a UI object on the user interface, the

210 may perform an operation related to the object selected by the user command.

The

310 controls the operation of the

200 and responds to user operations associated with the

380 by running various software control programs stored on the memory 390 (e.g., with installed third party applications, etc.), as well as interacting with the

210. For example, the

310 may control presentation of a user interface including several UI objects on the user interface on the

380, and in response to a received user command for a UI object on the user interface, may perform an operation related to the object selected by the user command.

For ease of illustration, the user interface presented on the

280 is referred to as a first user interface, and the user interface presented on the

380 is referred to as a second user interface. Alternatively, the first user interface and the second user interface may display home pages of operating systems run by the first controller and the second controller, respectively.

When the first display displays the first user interface as shown in fig. 9b, the user may input a menu item display instruction by operating the control device 100 (e.g., the

100A) to instruct the display apparatus to present a setting menu of the second display on the first display, the setting menu having an item for adjusting the backlight brightness of the second display thereon. When the first controller receives the menu item display instruction input by the user, the setting menu of the second display is controlled to be presented on the first display in response to the menu item display instruction.

First, on the interface shown in fig. 9b, a user may input a user instruction indicating to display a system menu by activating a "menu" key on the control device, the first controller may present a user interface as shown in fig. 10 on the first display in response to the user instruction, the user interface having a

90 displayed therein, the

90 containing a plurality of items 91-97, and a

98 displayed to indicate that any one of the items is selected, the user may move the position of the

98 in the user interface by operating the input of the control device to change the selection of a different item.

Next, in fig. 10, when a user operates the control device to input a user instruction indicating that the

98 selects the

96, the first controller may present a user interface as shown in fig. 11, in which a main setting menu page ("AI setting") 96 is displayed, on the first display in response to the user instruction, the main

96 corresponding to detailed menu options of the

96, i.e., the items 961 and 967. Thereafter, in fig. 11, when a user operates the control device to input a user instruction instructing the

98 to select an

964, the first controller may present, on the first display, a user interface as shown in fig. 12 in which a setting menu ("sub-screen setting") 964 of the second display containing detailed menu options corresponding to the

964, that is, the

9641 and 9644, is displayed in response to the user instruction.

For example, as shown in fig. 12, the user may instruct the

98 to select the item 9661 by operating the control device, and the first controller presents a user interface as shown in fig. 13, in which a brightness adjustment bar is displayed, on the first display in response to the user operation. On the user interface shown in fig. 13, the user can trigger the left or right direction key on the control device to turn down or turn up the brightness value.

In a specific implementation, the luminance value corresponds to the PWM value in equal proportion, the first controller may convert the luminance value input by the user into a corresponding PWM signal, transmit the PWM signal to the communication bus (I2C), and input the PWM signal to the second

34 in a manner of reading/writing the GPIO interface on the second

34 through the communication bus, so that the second

34 performs backlight luminance control on the

22 according to the input PWM signal.

For example, as shown in fig. 12, the user may instruct the

98 to select an

9642 by operating the control means, and the first controller may present, on the first display, a user interface as shown in fig. 14 in which a plurality of items 96421 and 96426 are displayed, which correspond to the toggle button of the "do not disturb" function and the time threshold option provided by the display device, respectively, in response to the user operation. In the user interface shown in fig. 14, the user may operate the control device to select an item, to input a time threshold corresponding to the selected item, for example, 2 minutes as shown in fig. 14, or to input a user instruction for turning off the "do not disturb" function.

101, presenting a first user interface on a first display; such as the first user interface shown in fig. 8.

103, responding to the menu item display instruction, presenting a setting menu of the second display on the first display, wherein the setting menu comprises an item for adjusting the brightness of the second display;

In still other embodiments, the items for adjusting the brightness of the second display include a second item for automatically adjusting the brightness of the second display. In connection with the method flowchart shown in fig. 16,

104 may include the following steps:

1043, when a first message sent by the second controller is received, adjusting the brightness of the second display to a preset low brightness, where the first message is sent when the second controller sends a display time length reaching a time length threshold when the topmost page displayed by the second display is a home page.

1044, when a second disappearance sent by the second controller is received, adjusting the brightness of the second display to the brightness value input by the user, where the second message is sent when the second controller monitors that the topmost page displayed by the second display is switched from the home page to another interface other than the home page when the brightness of the second display is the preset low brightness.

In the above example, the process of the first controller adjusting the brightness of the second display comprises: the first controller converts the brightness value or the preset low brightness input by the user into a corresponding PWM signal according to the corresponding relationship between the brightness value and the PWM value, transmits the PWM signal to the communication bus (I2C), and inputs the PWM signal to the second

34 in a way of reading/writing the GPIO interface on the second

34 through the communication bus, so that the second

34 performs backlight brightness adjustment control on the

22 according to the input PWM signal.
