Method for displaying GUI for providing menu items and display device
The present application discloses a GUI method for providing menu items, which is used to automatically adjust display locations of the menu items according to a setting language of a display device. The method includes: displaying an image content in a content display area of a display in response to a first control instruction input by a user and used for displaying the image content; and calculating a layout location of at least one menu item in a menu display area of the display based on a setting language of the display device, where the at least one menu item is configured for the image content and used to perform functions required for the image content; and displaying the at least one menu item based on the calculated layout location.
1. A method for presenting a Graphical User Interface (GUI) in a display device, comprising:
in response to a first control instruction for displaying first image content input from a user, displaying the first image content in a content display area of a display;
according to a setting language of the display device, calculating a first layout location of at least one menu item in a menu display area of the display, wherein the at least one menu item is configured for the first image content and used to perform functions associated with the first image content; and
displaying the at least one menu item according to the first layout location;
wherein the calculating the first layout location of the at least one menu item in the menu display area comprises:
calculating a width occupied by the at least one menu item in the menu display area according to the setting language of the display device; and
determining the first layout location of the at least one menu item in the menu display area according to the calculated width and an arrangement direction from one edge to an other edge of the menu display area.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one menu item is configured by default or by settings of the user.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one menu item is arranged from one edge to an other edge of the menu display area, so as to keep any two menu items spaced without overlapping with each other.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a menu item of the at least one menu item comprises a name of the menu item and an icon of the menu item.
5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the calculating the width occupied by the at least one menu item in the menu display area comprises:
calculating a text width corresponding to the name of the menu item in the setting language of the display device;
obtaining a width corresponding to the icon of the menu item; and
determining a sum of the text width corresponding to the name and the width corresponding to the icon as the width occupied by the menu item.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
in response to a second control instruction for modifying the setting language of the display device input from the user, updating the setting language of the display device;
in response to a third control instruction for displaying second image content input from the user, displaying the second image content in the content display area of the display, wherein the second image content corresponds to the first image content in updated setting language of the display device;
calculating a second layout location of the at least one menu item in the menu display area of the display according to the updated setting language of the display device, wherein the at least one menu item is configured for the second image content and used to perform functions associated with the second image content; and
updating display of the at least one menu item in the content display area according to the second layout location.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein function information of a menu item of the at least one menu item corresponds to a color key on a control device for providing user input to the display device.
8. A display device, comprising:
a display configured to display images; and
a controller configured to:
in response to a first control instruction for display of first image content input from a user, display the first image content in a content display area of the display;
according to a setting language of the display device, calculate a first layout location of at least one menu item in a menu display area of the display, wherein the at least one menu item is configured for the first image content and used to perform functions associated with the first image content; and
display the at least one menu item according to the first layout location;
wherein the controller is configured to calculate the first layout location of the at least one menu item in the menu display area by:
calculating a width occupied by the at least one menu item in the menu display area according to the setting language of the display device; and
determining the first layout location of the at least one menu item in the menu display area according to the calculated width and an arrangement direction from one edge to an other edge of the menu display area.
9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one menu item is configured by default or by settings of the user.
10. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one menu item is arranged from one edge to an other edge of the menu display area, so as to keep any two menu items spaced without overlapping with each other.
11. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein a menu item of the at least one menu item comprises a name of the menu item and an icon of the menu item.
12. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein the controller is configured to calculate the width occupied by the at least one menu item in the menu display area by:
calculating a text width corresponding to the name of the menu item in the setting language of the display device;
obtaining a width corresponding to the icon of the menu item; and
determining a sum of the text width corresponding to the name and the width corresponding to the icon as the width occupied by the menu item.
13. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
in response to a second control instruction for modification of the setting language of the display device input from the user, update the setting language of the display device;
in response to a third control instruction for display of second image content input from the user, display the second image content in the content display area of the display, wherein the second image content corresponds to the first image content in updated setting language of the display device;
calculate a second layout location of the at least one menu item in the menu display area of the display according to the updated setting language of the display device, wherein the at least one menu item is configured for the second image content and used to perform functions associated with the second image content; and
update display of the at least one menu item in the content display area according to the second layout location.
14. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein function information of a menu item of the at least one menu item corresponds to a color key on a control device for providing user input to the display device.
