Detailed ways

The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and/or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character "/" generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes in detail the virtual remote control display method, device, electronic device and readable storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

At present, more and more functions are integrated into mobile phones, among which the virtual remote control function is a typical design.

Traditional remote controls are usually independent devices that can be used at any time. The virtual remote control in the mobile phone implements the remote control function through the following steps: unlock the mobile phone -> open the remote control app -> select the virtual remote control -> control the home appliance corresponding to the virtual remote control. Since the operations of unlocking the mobile phone, opening the remote control app and selecting the virtual remote control are not required in the solution of implementing the remote control function through the traditional remote control, and unlocking the mobile phone is to ensure the security of the private files in the mobile phone, and the virtual remote control is obviously not a private file, according to the existing solution, the mobile phone needs to go through multiple operations of the user before the virtual remote control required by the user can be displayed, which makes the steps for the mobile phone to display the virtual remote control too cumbersome.

In order to solve the above problems, in the virtual remote control display method provided in the embodiment of the present application, a target virtual remote control can be determined, and the target virtual remote control is used to control the target device through the mobile phone; and when the mobile phone is in the screen-off state, the virtual keys corresponding to the target virtual remote control are displayed in the to-be-unlocked interface (e.g., the screen-off interface). Through this solution, since the mobile phone can directly display the determined target virtual remote control and its corresponding virtual keys in the to-be-unlocked interface when the screen is off, there is no need for the user to display the virtual remote control required by the user through multiple operations, thereby simplifying the steps for the mobile phone to display the virtual remote control.

The embodiment of the present application provides a virtual remote control display method, and FIG1 shows a flow chart of the virtual remote control display method provided by the embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG1, the virtual remote control display method provided by the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps 101 and 102. The method is exemplarily described below by taking an electronic device executing the method as an example.

Step 101: The electronic device determines a target virtual remote controller.

In the embodiment of the present application, the target virtual remote controller is used to control the target device through the electronic device.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the target device may be any device that can be controlled by the target virtual remote controller, such as a television, an air conditioner or a set-top box.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, one device may correspond to one virtual remote controller, and the electronic device may control the one device through the one virtual remote controller.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the target virtual remote controller is a virtual remote controller in a remote control application.

The remote control application is run on a coprocessor of the electronic device.

In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned coprocessor is: a processor that assists the central processing unit to complete processing tasks that it cannot perform or performs with low efficiency, and is used to reduce the processing tasks of the central processing unit.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the remote control application may be an application including at least one virtual remote control.

The following is a detailed description of the virtual remote control display method provided in the embodiment of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the processor architecture. As shown in (a) of Figure 2, the central processing unit 21 is connected to the display 22 and the touch screen 23 respectively. In the traditional way, the remote control application runs on the central processing unit 21. Each time the electronic device uses the virtual remote control in the remote control application, the central processing unit 21 needs to be awakened, which will cause the electronic device to consume more power. In order to reduce the power consumption of the electronic device, in an embodiment of the present application, the remote control application can be run on a coprocessor. As shown in (b) of Figure 2, on the basis of the traditional architecture, the coprocessor 24 can also be connected to the display 22 and the touch screen 23 respectively. Therefore, when the electronic device uses the virtual remote control in the remote control application, it does not need to wake up the central processing unit 21, but can call the remote control application running on the coprocessor 24 at any time, thereby reducing the power consumption of the electronic device.

In the embodiment of the present application, since the remote control application corresponding to the target virtual remote control is running on the coprocessor of the electronic device, the electronic device does not need to wake up the central processor when calling the target virtual remote control, thereby reducing the power consumption of the electronic device.

The specific method for the electronic device to determine the target virtual remote controller is described in detail below.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may determine the target virtual remote controller by the following method 1 or method 2.

method one

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above step 101 can be specifically implemented by the following steps 101a and 101b.

Step 101a: The electronic device receives a user's request for a target virtual remote controller in the screen-off display setting interface. Identifies the first input.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first input is used to select an identifier of the virtual remote control.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the first input may be any possible form of input such as floating input, touch input or voice input.

For example, taking the first input as a touch input as an example, the first input may be a single-click input, a double-click input, or a long-press input of the identifier of the target virtual remote controller by the user.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the identifier of the target virtual remote controller may be any possible identifier such as a text identifier, an image identifier, or a color identifier that can indicate the target virtual remote controller.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned screen-off display setting interface can be used to set the content displayed by the electronic device in the unlocking interface.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned interface to be unlocked can be: a screen-off interface (i.e., an interface displayed when the electronic device is in the screen-off state) or an unlocking interface (i.e., an interface triggered to be displayed by the electronic device when the user needs to unlock the electronic device, and the unlocking interface may include a password unlocking control or a fingerprint unlocking control, etc.).

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned screen-off display setting interface may include multiple virtual remote control identifiers, each identifier may indicate a virtual remote control, or may indicate a virtual key layout of a virtual remote control.

Step 101b: The electronic device determines a target virtual remote controller in response to the first input.

The following is an illustrative description of the virtual remote control display method provided in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

For example, as shown in (a) of FIG3 , the screen-off display setting interface 30 includes multiple virtual remote controller identifiers. When the electronic device receives a single-click input of a virtual remote controller identifier 31 (i.e., a target virtual remote controller), as shown in (b) of FIG3 , the electronic device can determine the virtual remote controller and display the name 32 and image identifier 33 of the currently applied virtual remote controller in the screen-off display setting interface 30. It can be seen that the screen-off display setting interface 30 can also include multiple personalized style identifiers. The electronic device can select a personalized style identifier based on the user's input of one of the personalized style identifiers. The personalized theme indicated by the personalized style logo is displayed in the unlocking interface to meet the different needs of users.

In the embodiment of the present application, since the electronic device can determine the target virtual remote control through the user's first input of the identifier of the target virtual remote control in the screen-off display setting interface, the steps for the electronic device to determine the target virtual remote control can be simplified.

Method 2

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above step 101 can be specifically implemented through the following steps 101c to 101e.

Step 101c: The electronic device obtains target information.

(a) location information of the current location of the electronic device;

(b) time information of the current system time of the electronic device;

(c) temperature information of the environment in which the electronic device is currently located;

(d) Device information scanned by the electronic device.

Step 101d: The electronic device determines a device corresponding to the target information based on the target information.

The following is an exemplary description of the virtual remote control display method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

As another example, when the target information includes the above (c), the electronic device may obtain the above temperature information through a temperature sensor and obtain the current temperature value through a weather application. If the difference between the temperature value indicated by the temperature information and the current temperature value is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the electronic device The electronic device can determine that the device corresponding to the temperature information is an air conditioner (that is, the user is most likely using the air conditioner); or, if the temperature value indicated by the temperature information obtained by the electronic device is outside the comfortable temperature range (for example, 15°~28°), the electronic device can determine that the device corresponding to the temperature information is an air conditioner (that is, the user is most likely to need to use the air conditioner).

As another example, when the target information includes the above (d), the electronic device can scan nearby devices through the wireless module. If the scanned device information indicates a TV, the electronic device can determine that the device corresponding to the device information is a TV (ie, the user has turned on the TV).

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the number of devices determined by the electronic device according to the target information may be one or more.

Step 101e: The electronic device determines the virtual remote controller corresponding to the device as the target virtual remote controller.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device determines that the number of the above-mentioned devices is multiple, the electronic device may determine the virtual remote controller corresponding to each of the multiple devices as the target virtual remote controller.

In an embodiment of the present application, since the electronic device can determine the corresponding device based on the acquired target information, and determine the virtual remote control corresponding to the determined device as the target virtual remote control, that is, the electronic device can automatically determine the target virtual remote control without user input, the steps for the electronic device to determine the target virtual remote control can be further simplified.

Step 102: When the electronic device is in the screen-off state, the electronic device displays a virtual button corresponding to the target virtual remote controller in the unlocking interface.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the target virtual remote controller may correspond to at least one virtual button, and each virtual button may be used to control a function of the target device.

It should be noted that the number of virtual buttons corresponding to the target virtual remote controller may be determined according to the specific target device.

For example, it is assumed that the target virtual remote controller determined by the electronic device is a virtual remote controller for controlling a television. remote control, then as shown in FIG4, when the electronic device is in the screen-off state, the virtual buttons (including virtual buttons 41 to 50) corresponding to the target virtual remote control can be displayed in the unlock interface 40; wherein each virtual button can be used to control a function of the TV, for example, virtual button 41 can control the switch function of the TV, virtual button 49 can control the volume increase function of the TV, etc.; thus, the user can directly control the TV by inputting the virtual buttons displayed in the unlock interface 40, thus simplifying the operation process of controlling the TV through the virtual remote control. It can be seen that the unlock interface 40 can also include: the electronic device sets the time information displayed through the above-mentioned screen-off display setting interface, the fingerprint unlocking virtual button, etc., to meet the different usage needs of users.

The specific method for the electronic device to display the virtual keys corresponding to the target virtual remote controller in the unlocking interface is described in detail below.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the target virtual remote controller may include at least one virtual remote controller, and the above step 102 may be specifically implemented through the following step 102a.

Step 102a: The electronic device displays at least one virtual key corresponding to the virtual remote controller in at least one display area of the interface to be unlocked.

Among them, in each of the above-mentioned at least one display area, a virtual key corresponding to one of the above-mentioned at least one virtual remote control is displayed (that is, the above-mentioned at least one display area corresponds to the virtual key corresponding to the above-mentioned at least one virtual remote control in a one-to-one manner).

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the at least one display area may be a system default, or may be set by the user according to usage requirements.

It can be understood that when the number of the at least one display area is multiple, the electronic device can simultaneously display virtual buttons corresponding to multiple virtual remote controllers to facilitate the control of multiple devices.

In the embodiment of the present application, since the electronic device can display a virtual key corresponding to a virtual remote control in each display area of at least one display area of the interface to be unlocked, the flexibility of the electronic device in displaying the virtual remote control can be improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the target virtual remote controller may include at least two virtual remote controllers, and the above step 102 may be specifically implemented through the following steps 102b and 102c.

Step 102b: The electronic device displays a virtual button corresponding to the first virtual remote controller in the unlocking interface.

Step 102c: In response to the user's second input to the interface to be unlocked, the electronic device updates and displays the virtual key corresponding to the first virtual remote controller displayed in the interface to be unlocked to the virtual key corresponding to the second virtual remote controller.

The first virtual remote controller and the second virtual remote controller are virtual remote controllers among the at least two virtual remote controllers.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the first virtual remote controller and the second virtual remote controller may be respectively used to control a device through the electronic device.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device updates and displays the virtual keys corresponding to the first virtual remote control displayed in the above-mentioned unlocking interface to virtual keys corresponding to the second virtual remote control, it can cancel the display of the virtual keys corresponding to the first virtual remote control in the unlocking interface.

In the embodiment of the present application, before the above step 102c, the electronic device may first receive a second input from the user to the interface to be unlocked.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the second input may be any possible form of input such as touch input, voice input or physical key input.

For example, taking the second input as a touch input as an example, the second input may be a sliding input or a special track input by the user on the above-mentioned interface to be unlocked.

It should be noted that the above steps 102b and 102c are only for switching display of virtual keys corresponding to two virtual remote controls. After the electronic device updates and displays the virtual key corresponding to the second virtual remote control in the above interface to be unlocked, it can update and display the virtual key corresponding to the second virtual remote control displayed in the interface to be unlocked to the virtual key corresponding to another virtual remote control of the above at least two virtual remote controls through another input; and so on, the electronic device can display the virtual key corresponding to each of the at least two virtual remote controls in the interface to be unlocked in turn through multiple inputs. virtual keys.

It should be noted that the order in which the electronic device updates and displays the virtual keys corresponding to each of the at least two virtual remote controls may be a system default order, or may be set by the user according to usage requirements, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In an embodiment of the present application, since the electronic device can update the virtual button corresponding to the virtual remote control displayed in the unlocking interface through the user's second input to the unlocking interface, the flexibility of the electronic device in displaying the virtual remote control can be further improved, making it easier for users to find the required virtual remote control.
