Abstract

Disclosed are a play control system and method. The system includes: a display control module for dividing the display screen of electrical equipment, wherein the display control module can divide the display screen into a plurality of display area layouts; a control module for determining the current display area layout and the video signal corresponding to the picture to be displayed in each display area in the current display area layout according to an instruction; and a processing module for according to determination result of the control module, processing each video signal to be displayed according to the display requirement of the display area which needs to display the video signal and providing the processed video signal meeting the display requirement of the corresponding display area to the electrical equipment.

Claims (25)

1. A display control system for controlling the display of electrical equipment, comprising:

a display control module for dividing the display screen of said electrical equipment into plurality of display area layouts;

a receiving module for receiving video signals from one or more video sources;

a control module for determining a current display area layout of said display control module according to an instruction and determining the video signals displayed by each display area in said current display area layout;

a processing module for processing each corresponding video signal to be displayed according to the determination result and a display requirement of each display area and providing the processed video signal to said electrical equipment; and

a configuration module for configuring a display status of an interface of application installed on said display control system in the corresponding display area when said display screen displays the interface of application and configuring a display status of said interface in a new display area when the display area of said interface is changed, and

wherein said processing module is further used for providing a signal configured by said configuration module and corresponding to an interface of current display area to said electrical equipment.

2. The display control system according to the claim 1 , wherein, said control module is further used for determining plurality of video signals to be displayed which correspond to at least one display area, according to an instruction and determining a video signal which needs to be displayed first from plurality video signals to be displayed and replacing the current displayed video signal with other video signals to be displayed according to an instruction, and said processing module is further used for providing plurality of video signals displayed by one or more display areas to said electrical equipment.

3. The display control system according to the claim 1 , wherein, further comprising:

a picture effectiveness processing module for processing a menu displayed by the display screen of said electrical equipment in a 3D manner.

4. The display control system according to the claim 1 , wherein, further comprising:

a focus control module for setting one or more display areas being currently operated according to an instruction as a focus of operation objects in the current display area layout.

5. A display control method for controlling the display of electrical equipment, comprising:

a step for receiving video signals from one or more signal sources;

a step for determining the current display area layout according to an instruction and dividing the display screen of electrical equipment thereby;

a step for determining the video signals to be displayed by each display area in said current display area layout of display screen of said electrical equipment;

a step for processing each corresponding video signal to be displayed according to the determination result and a display requirement of each display area, and providing the processed video signal to said electrical equipment;

a step for configuring a display status of an interface of application installed on said display control system in the corresponding display area when said display screen displays the interface of application and configuring a display status of said interface in a new display area when the display area of said interface is changed; and

a step for providing a signal corresponding to an interface of current display area to said electrical equipment.

6. The display control method according to the claim 5 , wherein, the step for determining the video signals to be displayed by each display area in said current display area layout of display screen of said electrical equipment, comprising:

determining plurality of video signals to be displayed which correspond to at least one display area, according to an instruction and determining a video signal which needs to be displayed first from plurality video signals to be displayed and replacing the current displayed video signal with other video signals to be displayed according to an instruction.

7. The display control method according to the claim 5 , wherein, further comprising:

a step for processing a menu in a 3D manner when the display screen of said electrical equipment needs to display the menu.

8. The display control method according to the claim 5 , wherein, further comprising:

a step for setting one or more display areas being currently operated according to an instruction as a focus of operation objects in the current display area layout.
