Smart TV and its channel input method based on touch remote control

Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent TV (television) and a channel input method thereof based on a touch remote controller. The method comprises the following steps that: after the intelligent TV confirms that a channel input command is received, channel numbers with single bits, which are annularly arranged in sequence, are displayed; one of the displayed channel numbers is selected as a selected channel number with a single bit, and the selected channel number is displayed in highlight; and if the intelligent TV confirms that channel input is finished, a channel corresponding to the selected channel number is switched to. When a user requires to switch channels, a ring of annularly arranged channel numbers are displayed on a display screen, the finger of the user can slide on a touch panel of the touch remote controller to select a channel number in a sliding way; and compared with that of the prior art, the requirements on the operation precision and accuracy of the user are greatly reduced, so that the channel input operation of the user can be facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to TV remote control technology, in particular to a smart TV and a channel input method based on a touch remote control. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology, digitization is getting deeper and deeper into life. At present, PCs have been intelligentized for a long time, mobile phones and tablets are also intelligentized on a large scale, and TVs are also becoming intelligent in recent years. Currently launched smart TVs have richer human-computer interaction functions. With the promotion of reliable transmission methods such as digital TV, users can now receive more and more broadcast TV channels, and it is the most common behavior for users to frequently change channels (that is, channel switching) when watching TV. Existing television systems provide multiple channel switching methods. For example, in order to allow users to switch to a target channel, they usually use scrolling to find ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the inventors of the present invention have found that the touch input method in the prior art still has deficiencies.

For example, when using the method of channel list scrolling to switch channels, if the number of channels is large, it usually takes a long time to flip through the list, resulting in a large amount of operations for one channel change, especially now that there are more than 100 general TV channels. In addition to wasting a lot of time, flipping through the list for a long time can easily bore the user

And if you use the soft keyboard to input the channel number, you need to accurately position your fingers on the touch panel to click on the desired channel number; this has higher requirements for the user's operation precision and accuracy, which makes most The operation is not smooth, fast digital input cannot be realized, and it is easy to cause input errors, which is not convenient for a wide range of user groups including the elderly, children or people with inflexible fingers; in addition, direct channel digital input cannot browse channel information , it is necessary for the user to clearly understand the channel to be selected when inputting, and the wrong selection occurs from time to time

[0004] To sum up, if the user uses the method of inputting or determining the channel provided by the prior art to switch channels, the operation time is longer or the operation is more difficult, which brings a bad experience to the user
