Detailed ways

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts are within the scope of the present disclosure.

The technical solutions shown in the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in some embodiments.

The TV products of TV manufacturers applying SoC solutions rely on STR (Suspend to RAM) technology to achieve fast booting, that is, DRAM (ie, dynamic random access memory) is still powered during standby, and some configuration data is directly in DRAM when booting. Read to speed up the boot. However, even in the TV products using the STR technology, when the smart TV SoC is started, the system initialization still takes a certain time to complete, and the startup of the smart TV is also limited by the initialization time of the panel power-on.

In order to improve the above problems, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a control method for a smart TV quick boot. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the control method includes steps 110 and 120 (S110 and S120). Figure 1 corresponds to instructions stored in a computer readable storage medium.

Step 110 (S110), the smart television adjusts to the first state according to the first control signal in response to receiving the first control signal. The first control signal is issued based on when the remote control device detects that it is displaced and/or rotated by itself, the first state is for indicating that the main system of the smart TV is turned on, and the backlight and the speaker are turned off.

A remote control device refers to a device that can be used to remotely control an intelligent terminal. The control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below by taking a remote control device as a remote controller as an example. Of course, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the remote control device is another device for controlling the smart terminal, such as an electronic device such as a mobile phone with a remote control function.

The inventors know that when a smart TV power-on command is executed by a remote controller, it is usually a period of time before the user presses the power button after picking up the remote controller. These embodiments of the present disclosure activate the main system of the smart TV during this time so that when the user presses the power button, the image and sound output can be realized by simply turning on the television backlight and the speaker.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, detection of a change in position of the remote control is achieved by the technical principles of a gravity sensor or a gyro rotator. The principle will be described below by taking a gyroscope rotator as an example. The principle of the gyroscope rotator is that the direction indicated by the rotating axis of a rotating object does not change when it is not affected by external force. Therefore, when the direction indicated by the rotation axis of the object changes, the gyro sensor can accurately sense the rotation or movement of the object. That is, in response to detecting that the direction indicated by the rotation axis of the object (remote controller) changes, the remote controller transmits a first control command to the smart television to make it the on-screen state.

The first state of the so-called smart TV refers to the state in which the main system part of the smart TV is initialized, but the backlight and the speaker (ie, the sound) are turned off. In some embodiments, in a television backlight drive system, the backlight is controlled by a dedicated switch by which the backlight is turned on and off. Speaker off means that the amplifier is muted and does not output a sound signal to the audio amplifier.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first control signal is an infrared signal, and the remote control device is an infrared remote control device. The inventors know that an infrared remote controller needs to align an infrared signal transmitter with a controlled device (for example, a smart TV) to transmit an infrared signal to control the smart device. And the inventor knows that when the remote controller rotates or shifts, etc., it may be at any angle with the smart device. Therefore, if the first control signal is an infrared signal, there is a possibility that even if the remote controller is displaced or Rotating, the remote controller transmits the first control signal, and the smart TV can not receive the first control signal, and the smart television cannot react accordingly according to the first control signal.

In some other embodiments of the present disclosure, the first control signal is a Bluetooth control signal, and the remote control device is a Bluetooth remote control device. Compared with the infrared remote control, the Bluetooth remote control is not subject to the receiving angle, and can control the controlled device 360 degrees, and the Bluetooth signal transmission speed is faster, the transmission distance is farther, and the amount of data transmitted is also larger. In other embodiments, other signals having similar functions or functions are used as the first control signal, and no further details are provided herein.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, after the smart TV receives the first control signal sent by the remote controller, the smart TV starts the initialization process, starts the TV SoC, completes the initial setting of the register and the GPIO, and completes the TV memory layout (Flash out). Until all the boot flow and the customization of the dynamic random access memory (DRAM) address are completed. At the same time, the GPIO BL_EN of the smart TV control backlight and the GPIO MUTE_AMP of the control speaker amplifier mute are all configured to be low by default, so that the backlight and the sound are still off, and the user feels that the TV is still in the standby state. At this point, the smart TV initialization process is completed and the TV is in the state of turning on the panel.

In step 120 (S120), the smart television adjusts to the second state according to the second control signal in response to receiving the second control signal. The second control signal is issued when the remote control device detects a power-on command input by the user, and the second state is used to indicate that the smart TV main system, the backlight, and the speaker are turned on.

In some embodiments, the power-on command input by the user, that is, the control of the smart TV normal power-on command, is a button for controlling the normal startup of the smart TV. For example, the power button of the remote control device. When the user presses the remote control power button, the remote controller sends a second control signal to the smart TV, and the smart TV makes the television into a normal power-on state according to the second control signal. Since the TV has completed the initialization of the main system part of the program at this time, it is only necessary to turn on the TV backlight and the sound when receiving the second control signal, that is, the GPIO for controlling the backlight and the sound is adjusted to a high level. At this time, the response time of the SoC is very short, generally only a few seconds, or even up to the millisecond level, allowing the user to experience the "second open" experience.

In some other embodiments of the present disclosure, the power-on command input by the user is a voice input power-on command of the user. As television becomes more intelligent, many smart TVs have voice input commands. For example, the power-on command pre-stores voice commands related to TV power-on (such as "television on", "television on", "on", etc.) in the smart TV. When the user inputs a related instruction using voice, the smart TV recognizes the instruction. And determine whether it matches the pre-stored content. If the content matches, it is confirmed that the user inputs the second control signal through the remote controller, and the smart TV performs the corresponding action according to the second control signal.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second control signal is an infrared control signal. Due to cost and design reasons, most of the remote control is still an infrared remote control. At the same time, the infrared remote control itself has other advantages such as accurate remote control accuracy.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the smart television determines whether it is in the first state in response to the received second control signal. If in the first state, the smart TV adjusts it to the second state according to the second control signal. If not in the first state, the smart television sends a feedback signal to the remote control device, so that the remote control device transmits the second control signal again according to the feedback signal until the smart television is in the first state.

Since the time from when the user picks up the remote controller to when the power button is pressed is uncontrollable, when the remote controller sends the second control signal (ie, the infrared control signal) to the smart TV, the smart TV may still be in the initialization stage, that is, the smart TV according to the A control signal is undergoing an initialization process. Since the initialization process has not been completed, it is impossible for the smart TV to respond to the infrared control signal at this time. After the initialization process is completed, since the second control signal has expired, the smart TV will not turn on the backlight and the sound according to the second control signal sent before, and the backlight and sound of the smart TV will still be off, and the smart TV still remains. In the first state.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the determining step is added, that is, when the remote controller sends an infrared control signal to the smart TV, the smart television determines whether it is in the first state, and if it is already in the first state, adjusts according to the second control signal. In the second state, the smart TV sends a feedback signal to the remote control device, so that the remote control device transmits the second control signal again according to the received feedback signal until the initialization process of the smart TV is completed. This can prevent the TV from responding to the power-on command sent by the remote controller, and requires the user to press the power on button multiple times to make the smart TV boot normally.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the smart television adjusts to the second state according to the second control signal, the acknowledgment signal is sent to the remote control device, and the remote control device is controlled to stop transmitting the second control signal according to the acknowledgment signal. This can avoid the problem that the remote controller still sends infrared control signals to the smart TV after the smart TV has been turned on, resulting in an increase in power consumption of the remote controller.

In some cases, there may be user or other objective reasons that cause the remote control to be accidentally touched. At this time, the remote controller also sends a first control signal to the smart TV to initialize some programs in the main system of the smart TV. If the user does not perform the boot operation for a long time, but keeps the TV in the initial state, it will obviously increase the power consumption of the TV. Therefore, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, after the smart TV receives the first control signal, within a set time threshold, if the smart TV does not receive the second control signal, it automatically enters the third state (ie, the television standby State), thereby preventing the smart TV from being in a "false standby" state for a long time (ie, the smart TV is in the first state), reducing the power consumption of the smart TV.

In some examples, as shown in FIG. 2, the time threshold is set to one minute to determine whether the television receives the second control signal within one minute. If the TV receives the second control signal, the backlight and sound are turned on, and an acknowledgment signal is sent to the remote controller, and the TV is turned on. Otherwise the TV will go back to standby. Figure 2 corresponds to instructions stored in a computer readable storage medium.

A control method for a smart TV quick start-up provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes: when the remote control device is displaced and/or rotated, the remote control device sends a first control signal to the smart TV to control the smart TV to be on Organizer screen status. The state of the open screen refers to the state in which the main system of the smart TV is turned on, and the backlight and the speaker are turned off. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, in the case where the remote control device changes position (displacement or rotation), the first control signal is sent to the smart television terminal, thereby controlling the smart TV to start the SoC system, completing part of the boot initialization process, and only maintaining the television. The backlight and speaker are off. Then, when the remote control device detects the real user power-on command, the second control signal is sent to the smart TV to turn on the backlight and the speaker. Since the partial initialization process of the smart TV (except the backlight and the speaker portion) has been pre-activated when the first control signal is received, and thus the smart TV receives the second control signal, only the backlight and the speaker need to be turned on, so the booting speed is significantly improved. , to achieve a fast boot user experience.

The first control unit 210 is configured to adjust the smart television to the first state according to the first control signal in response to receiving the first control signal. The first control signal is issued based on the remote control device detecting that it is displaced and/or rotated, the first state is for indicating that the smart television main system is turned on, and the backlight and the speaker are turned off. The second control unit 220 is configured to adjust the smart television to the second state according to the second control signal in response to the received second control signal. The second control signal is issued when the remote control device detects a power-on command input by the user, and the second state is used to indicate that the smart TV main system, the backlight, and the speaker are turned on.
