A commonly used presentation form of the User Interface is a Graphical User Interface (GUI), which refers to a User Interface related to computer operations and displayed in a graphical manner. It may be an interface element such as an icon, a window, a control, etc. displayed in the display screen of the electronic device, where the control may include at least one of an icon, a button, a menu, a tab, a text box, a dialog box, a status bar, a navigation bar, a Widget, etc. visual interface elements.

Referring to fig. 5, in some embodiments, the system is divided into four layers, which are an application (Applications) layer (abbreviated as "application layer"), an application Framework (application Framework) layer (abbreviated as "Framework layer"), an Android runtime (Android runtime) layer and a system library layer (abbreviated as "system runtime library layer"), and a kernel layer, from top to bottom.

In some embodiments, at least one application program runs in the application program layer, and the application programs may be windows (windows) programs carried by an operating system, system setting programs, clock programs or the like; or an application developed by a third party developer. In particular implementations, the application packages in the application layer are not limited to the above examples.

The framework layer provides an Application Programming Interface (API) and a programming framework for the application program of the application layer. The application framework layer includes a number of predefined functions. The application framework layer acts as a processing center that decides to let the applications in the application layer act. The application program can access the resources in the system and obtain the services of the system in execution through the API interface.

As shown in fig. 5, in the embodiment of the present application, the application framework layer includes a manager (Managers), a Content Provider (Content Provider), and the like, where the manager includes at least one of the following modules: an Activity Manager (Activity Manager) is used for interacting with all activities running in the system; the Location Manager (Location Manager) is used for providing the system service or application with the access of the system Location service; a Package Manager (Package Manager) for retrieving various information related to an application Package currently installed on the device; a Notification Manager (Notification Manager) for controlling display and clearing of Notification messages; a Window Manager (Window Manager) is used to manage the icons, windows, toolbars, wallpapers, and desktop components on a user interface.

In some embodiments, the activity manager is used to manage the lifecycle of the various applications as well as general navigational fallback functions, such as controlling exit, opening, fallback, etc. of the applications. The window manager is used for managing all window programs, such as obtaining the size of a display screen, judging whether a status bar exists, locking the screen, intercepting the screen, controlling the change of the display window (for example, reducing the display window, displaying a shake, displaying a distortion deformation, and the like), and the like.

As shown in fig. 5, the core layer includes at least one of the following drivers: audio drive, display driver, bluetooth drive, camera drive, WIFI drive, USB drive, HDMI drive, sensor drive (like fingerprint sensor, temperature sensor, pressure sensor etc.) and power drive etc..

In the process of performing the audio playing function, the display device 200 may decode the played sound source data through multiple audio playing processes to obtain the finally played audio data, and play the audio data through the audio output interface 270, wherein the audio data may be played through a speaker of the display device 200 itself or through an external sound box. In some embodiments, the display device 200 may decode and play the audio source data to be played through a device hardware playing process. The hardware playing process means that the controller 250 of the display device 200 decodes the audio source data to be played by running an audio playing program in the operating system to obtain final audio data, and plays the final audio data through the audio output interface 270. In some embodiments, the display device 200 may further decode and play the audio source data to be played through a software playing process of the browser. The software playing process means that the controller 250 of the display device 200 decodes the audio source data to be played by running an audio playing program embedded in the browser, obtains the final audio data, and plays the audio data through the audio output interface 270.

In some embodiments, the sound source data may only include audio data, or may be an audio data portion of a video source, and if the sound source data is audio data of the video source, in the process of performing the audio playing function, the display device 200 needs to first process the video source to extract the sound source data therefrom, and then process and play the extracted sound source data in the manner described above.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the display device 200 may connect to sound emitting devices through the audio output interface 270 and play the sound source data through the sound emitting devices, for example, the display device 200 connects to a speaker provided on its own through the audio output interface 270 and the speaker plays the sound source data, or connects to the sound emitting devices through an external sound output terminal, such as an HDMI port, a USB interface, or the like. Taking the sound emitting device as the ARC device as an example, as shown in fig. 6, the ARC device 01 has an HDMI ARC output port 02, in this case, the HDMI port of the display device 200 is an HDMI ARC input port 03 with an ARC function, the HDMI ARC output port 02 and the HDMI ARC input port 03 are connected through an ARC-supporting HDMI line 04, and sound source data can be transmitted from the display device 200 to the ARC device 01 through the ARC-supporting HDMI line 04 and played through the ARC device 01. Since the ARC device 01 has an ARC function, it is possible to dispense with an additional composite audio line or light cable between the display device 200 and the ARC device 01.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the display device 200 may connect to the sound emitting devices through the communicator 220 and play the sound source data through the sound emitting devices, for example, the display device 200 connects to the sound emitting devices through a WIFI module, a bluetooth module, a wired ethernet module, and the like. Taking the sound generating device as a bluetooth headset as an example, as shown in fig. 7, the function of the bluetooth headset 001 for searching and finding is turned on, the function of the display device 200 for searching and finding is turned on, after pairing between the bluetooth headset 001 and the display device 200 is successful, the bluetooth transmission channel 002 is established, and the sound source data can be transmitted from the display device 200 to the bluetooth headset 001 through the bluetooth transmission channel 002 and played through the bluetooth headset 001.

The display device 200 and the sound emitting device are served through a communication protocol, and the sound emitting device can be divided into a designated sound emitting device and a non-designated sound emitting device according to whether the display device 200 and the sound emitting device have the same communication protocol, wherein the designated sound emitting device is the sound emitting device having the same communication protocol with the display device 200, and the designated sound emitting device not only can transmit sound source data with the display device 200, but also can be controlled by the display device 200 to set related playing parameters, such as sound effect parameters and the like. The non-specified sound emitting device is a sound emitting device that does not have the same communication protocol as the display device 200, and the non-specified sound emitting device is recognized by the display device 200 and transmits sound source data to the display device 200, but the display device 200 cannot control setting of the playback parameters of the non-specified sound emitting device. In some embodiments, to further ensure the security of the audio source data transmission and the security of the display device 200, the data transmission between the display device 200 and the non-specified audio device may be prohibited.

As can be seen from the above, when the display device 200 plays the sound source data, there may be multiple sound emitting devices for the user to select, and the user may switch the currently used sound emitting device to the target sound emitting device that meets the requirement by sending the switching instruction. However, as shown in fig. 1, when the user inputs a switching instruction through the speaking device setting option, the speaking device setting option is still selectable even if there is no other speaking device that can be switched for use, but after the user inputs the switching instruction, the display device 200 does not display the next-level menu (the speaking device setting menu) for a long time, so that the user cannot further select the target speaking device, or after the user inputs the switching instruction, the speaking device setting menu displayed by the display device 200 is in a blank state, that is, there is no device option of the selectable speaking device, so that the user cannot perform further operation, and the like, so that the user performs multiple invalid operations, and the user experience is reduced.

In order to solve the above problem, the embodiment of the present application provides a sound setting menu as shown in fig. 8, compared with fig. 1, if there is no sound generating device connected to the display device 200 other than the sound generating device currently used, in the sound setting menu shown in fig. 8, a prompt mark is displayed on the sound generating device setting option, and taking fig. 8 as an example, the sound generating device setting option is grayed (the font color is a designated dark gray, the background color is a designated light gray, and no response is selected).

Fig. 9 illustrates a flowchart of a method of displaying a sound setting menu by the display apparatus 200.

In the 901 implementation, the display device 200 receives a control instruction input by a user for selecting a sound setting option in a user interface.

In execution 902, the currently used sound producing device and the sound producing device currently connected to the display device 200 are identified based on the received control instruction. In this embodiment, the currently used sound emitting device is a first sound emitting device, and the sound emitting device currently connected to the display device 200 is a second sound emitting device.

In the 903 execution, based on the recognition result, a sound setting menu is generated, where the sound setting menu includes sound equipment setting options, and if the recognition result is that the number of the second sound equipment is 0, a prompt mark is displayed on the sound equipment setting options, which may be referred to as sound equipment setting options shown in fig. 8, so as to prompt the user that there is no sound equipment available for switching use except for the first sound equipment currently used. And if the number of the second sound producing devices is larger than 0 as a recognition result, normally displaying sound producing device setting options in the sound setting menu.

In 904 execution, display device 200 displays a sound device menu on the user interface. A user can directly and quickly know whether the sound equipment which can be switched to use exists or not by browsing the sound equipment setting options, namely if the sound equipment setting options are normally displayed, namely the sound equipment setting options can be selected and the like, the sound equipment which can be switched to use exists currently, and the user can further switch the sound equipment; if the prompt mark is displayed on the voice equipment setting option, it indicates that no voice equipment which can be switched to use exists currently, and the user does not need to perform further switching operation.

Fig. 10a-10b schematically illustrate the operation between the control device 100 and the display device 200. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 10a, the user sends a control instruction to the display apparatus 200 through the control device 100, e.g., a remote controller, and for example, by operating the "up", "down", "left", and "right" keys of the remote controller to move the option key 2 on the user interface 1, as shown in fig. 10a, moves the option key 2 to a sound setting option, and by selecting the sound setting option, sends a control instruction to the display apparatus 200. The display device 200 displays a sound setting menu on the user interface 1 in response to the control instruction, as shown in fig. 10b, the sound setting menu includes a sound-producing device setting option, and may also display other options according to design needs, such as a dissolve (not displaying a screen, only playing a sound) option, and the like. As shown in fig. 10b, the device name of the currently used sound emitting device (first sound emitting device), for example, "speaker", is displayed on the sound emitting device setting option, which indicates that the currently used sound emitting device is a speaker of the display device 200 itself. The display device 200 identifies the sound emitting devices (second sound emitting devices) currently connected to the display device 200, and if the second sound emitting devices are not identified, that is, the number of the second sound emitting devices is 0, as shown in fig. 10b, a prompt identifier is displayed on the sound emitting device setting option, for example, the sound emitting device setting option is grayed out, which indicates that there is no sound emitting device currently available for the user to switch.

In some embodiments, the prompt identifier may be expressed as a sound equipment setting option with a specified font color (for example, in gray setting, the font color of the sound equipment setting option is in specified light gray), a sound equipment setting option with a specified background color (for example, in gray setting, the background color of the sound equipment setting option is in specified dark gray), a specified text displayed on the sound equipment setting option (without selectable sound equipment, without other sound equipment, etc.), or the like, and the prompt identifier may also be a combination of some or all of the above.

Fig. 11a-11b schematically illustrate the operation between the control device 100 and the display device 200. The operation process shown in fig. 11a is the same as that shown in fig. 10a, and is not repeated here. Fig. 11b is different from fig. 10b in that if the display device 200 recognizes that the second sound emitting devices, that is, the number of the second sound emitting devices is greater than 0, sound emitting device setting options are normally displayed on the sound setting menu, that is, no prompt sign is displayed on the sound emitting device setting options, as shown in fig. 11b, and the sound emitting device setting options at this time can be selected.

Based on the above-described procedure, after the display apparatus 200 displays the sound setting menu, the user can continue the switching operation of the sound emitting apparatus as necessary. A method flow diagram for presenting a user interface in a display device 200 is illustrated in fig. 12.

In 1201 execution, the display apparatus 200 receives a switching instruction input by a user through a speaking apparatus setting option.

In execution 1202, based on the switch instruction, the display device 200 recognizes whether the audio device setting option has a prompt flag.

In 1203 execution, if the sound equipment setting option has a prompt identifier, the switching instruction is prohibited from being executed, for example, a next-level menu of the sound equipment setting option, that is, a sound equipment setting menu, is not displayed, and generally, the sound equipment setting menu includes equipment options of the first sound equipment and the second sound equipment.

In 1204, if the vocal apparatus setting option does not have the prompt identifier, the switching instruction is executed to switch the first vocal apparatus to the target vocal apparatus. Wherein the target sound emitting apparatus belongs to the second sound emitting apparatus.

In some embodiments, fig. 10c-10g illustrate schematic diagrams of operations between the control apparatus 100 and the display device 200, based on the flow illustrated in fig. 10a-10 b. After displaying the sound setting menu shown in fig. 10b, as shown in fig. 10c, the user further sends a first switching instruction to the display device 200 through the control apparatus 100, for example, by operating the remote controller to move the option key 2 to the sound-producing device setting option, and by selecting the sound-producing device setting option, sends the first switching instruction to the display device 200. The display device 200 recognizes that the audio device setting option has the prompt identifier in response to the first switching instruction, and at this time, the display device 200 does not display the audio device setting menu and still displays the current interface. In some embodiments, in order to prompt the user and correct the misoperation of the user in time, as shown in fig. 10d, the display device 200 may generate a prompt message and display the prompt message on the current interface, where the prompt message may be a text message, such as "no other access device is currently" shown in fig. 10d, or a voice message.

In some embodiments, after displaying the prompt message, the display device 200 may also continue to respond to the first switching instruction, as shown in fig. 10e, to display a sound emitting device setting menu, where the sound emitting device setting menu only includes the device name of the first sound emitting device, for example, "speaker". As shown in fig. 10f, the user may send a second switching instruction to the display device 200 through the control apparatus 100, for example, by operating the remote controller to move the option key 2 to the speaker option, so as to continue using the first sound-emitting device "speaker". As shown in fig. 10g, the display device 200 uses the first sound emitting device "speaker" in response to the second switching instruction, and displays a new sound setting menu as shown in fig. 10g, which is the same as fig. 10 b. In this way, the user only needs to send the second switching instruction once, and the sound setting menu can be displayed again to perform other operations, so that the operation frequency that the user returns to the sound setting menu through a rollback operation (for example, the user sends a return instruction to the display device 200 through the control apparatus 100 for multiple times) can be reduced, the interaction frequency between the user and the display device 200 can be reduced, and accordingly, the processing procedure of the display device 200 responding to multiple return instructions can be reduced.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 13, the sound outputting device setting menu includes not only the device option of the first sound outputting device, but also a device option of a third sound outputting device (such as a bluetooth headset in fig. 13), where the third sound outputting device is a historical sound outputting device that has been accessed to the display device 200, and the third sound outputting device is not currently available, so that an unavailable identifier, such as a graying (as shown in fig. 13), a special symbol, a specified font color, a specified background color, or the like, needs to be displayed on the device option of the third sound outputting device. At this time, the user can know which sound emitting devices have been used by browsing the device options of the third sound emitting device, so as to provide the user with an access reference of the sound emitting devices, and enable the user to quickly select a suitable sound emitting device to access the display device 200.

In some embodiments, fig. 11c-11f illustrate schematic diagrams of operations between the control apparatus 100 and the display device 200, based on the flow illustrated in fig. 11a-11 b. After displaying the sound setting menu shown in fig. 11b, as shown in fig. 11c, the user further sends a first switching instruction to the display device 200 through the control apparatus 100, and this specific process may refer to the process shown in fig. 10c, which is not described herein again. The display device 200 recognizes that the sound-producing device setting option does not have a prompt identifier in response to the first switching instruction, and in this case, the display device 200 generates a sound-producing device setting menu in response to the first switching instruction, as shown in fig. 11d, where the sound-producing device setting menu includes device names of a first sound-producing device and a second sound-producing device, for example, the first sound-producing device is a "speaker", the first sound-producing device is identified by a dashed box as a prompt identifier to prompt the user that the sound-producing device is a currently used sound-producing device, and other prompt identifiers may be used to distinguish the first sound-producing device from the second sound-producing device, for example, the device option of the first sound-producing device adopts a designated font color, a designated background color, a designated symbol, and the like, as shown in fig. 11d, and the second sound-producing device includes an ARC device. As shown in fig. 11e, the user may send the second switching instruction to the display device 200 through the control apparatus 100, for example, by operating the remote controller to move the option key 2 to the device option of the target sound emitting device, in this embodiment, the target sound emitting device is an ARC device, and then, as shown in fig. 11e, by selecting the device option, the option key 2 is moved to the device option of the ARC device, and the second switching instruction is sent to the display device 200. As shown in fig. 11f, the display device 200 switches the first sound-emitting device "speaker" to the target sound-emitting device "ARC device" in response to the second switching instruction, and displays a new sound setting menu as shown in fig. 11f, in which the device name "ARC device" of the sound-emitting device currently used is displayed on the sound-emitting device setting option, and at the same time, the sound-emitting device setting option is still in a normal state, i.e., the prompt flag is not displayed, and selection is possible, and the user can still switch the "ARC device" to the "speaker" by performing a process similar to that shown in fig. 11c-11 f.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 14, the sound outputting device setting menu includes not only the device options of the first sound outputting device and the second sound outputting device, but also the device option of the third sound outputting device, and an unselected identifier is displayed on the device option of the third sound outputting device, where the unselected identifier may refer to the description in fig. 12, and is not described herein again. The user may still be able to broaden the options for accessing and using the sound producing apparatus later by browsing the apparatus options of the third sound producing apparatus.

Fig. 15 illustrates a flowchart of one method of presenting a user interface in the display device 200.

In 1501, the display device 200 identifies the device types of the first and second sound-emitting devices in response to the control instruction.

In the 1502 execution, if the device type of at least one of the first sound emitting device and the second sound emitting device is the designated sound emitting device, the display device 200 generates a sound setting menu including not only sound emitting device setting options but also sound effect setting options. The user can quickly know that sound equipment capable of setting sound effect parameters exists in the first sound equipment and the second sound equipment through the sound effect setting option displayed in the sound setting menu.

In the 1503 execution, if the device types of the first sound emitting device and the second sound emitting device are both non-specified sound emitting devices, the display device 200 generates a sound setting menu including only sound emitting device setting options and not sound effect setting options. The user can learn that no sound-producing equipment capable of setting sound effect parameters exists in the first sound-producing equipment and the second sound-producing equipment through the sound-setting menu without displaying sound-effect setting options.

Based on the processes shown in fig. 10a-10g, in some embodiments, the display device 200 responds to the control instruction, and only needs to identify the device type of the first sound emitting device since the second sound emitting device is not present, for example, the first sound emitting device is a speaker, the display device 200 identifies whether the speaker is a specified sound emitting device, for example, by identifying an interface protocol of an audio interface where the speaker is connected to the display device 200, to determine whether the interface protocol specifies sound effect parameters allowing adjustment of the speaker through the display device 200, and when specifying the sound effect parameters allowing adjustment of the speaker through the display device 200, the speaker is the specified sound emitting device, and vice versa, the sound setting menu shown in fig. 16 exemplifies that the speaker is the specified sound emitting device, and then sound effect setting options are displayed on the sound setting menu, in order to prompt the user that there is a sound generating device capable of adjusting sound effect parameters, in this embodiment, since the sound generating device currently connected to the display device 200 only has a first sound generating device, the sound generating device capable of adjusting sound effect parameters is the first sound generating device. If the display device 200 identifies that the device type of the first sound emitting device is a non-specified sound emitting device, it is not necessary to display a sound effect setting option on the sound setting menu, at this time, the sound setting menu shown in fig. 10b may be displayed to prompt the user that there is no sound emitting device capable of adjusting sound effect parameters currently, because the sound emitting device currently connected to the display device 200 only has the first sound emitting device, that is, the first sound emitting device may not adjust sound effect parameters. In some embodiments, the sound effect setting option in the sound setting menu is a default option, that is, a default display sound effect setting option in the sound setting menu, for example, the sound setting menu shown in fig. 16, only when there is no sound output device capable of adjusting sound effect parameters currently, before the sound setting menu is displayed, the sound effect setting option is hidden, for example, a layer is covered on the sound effect setting option, the color of the layer is the same as the background color of the sound setting menu (as shown in fig. 17, the sound effect setting option covered by the layer is represented by a dotted line) to implement hidden effect, and the sound setting menu actually seen by the user may refer to fig. 10 b.

Based on the processes shown in fig. 11a to 11f, in some embodiments, the display device 200 identifies the device types of the first sound-emitting device and the second sound-emitting device, for example, the first sound-emitting device is a speaker and the second sound-emitting device is an ARC device, in response to a control instruction sent by the user, and generates a sound setting menu according to the identification result. In some embodiments, both the speaker and the ARC device are designated sound emitting devices, or the first sound emitting device is a speaker and the second sound emitting device is a bluetooth headset, where the speaker is a designated sound emitting device and the bluetooth headset is a non-designated sound emitting device, which indicates that there is a sound emitting device capable of adjusting sound effect parameters in the sound emitting devices currently connected to the display device 200, the display device 200 displays a sound setting menu as shown in fig. 18, where the sound setting menu includes a sound emitting device setting option and a sound effect setting option, where the sound effect setting option may prompt that there is a sound emitting device capable of adjusting sound effect parameters in the first sound emitting device and the second sound emitting device. In some embodiments, the speaker and the ARC device are both non-specified sound emitting devices, the display device 200 may display a sound setting menu as shown in fig. 11b, i.e., not display a sound effect setting menu in the sound setting menu.

Whether the sound effect setting option exists on the sound setting menu can prompt a user whether sound equipment capable of adjusting sound effect parameters exists currently or not. Further, when a sound effect setting option is displayed on the sound setting menu, the displayed sound effect setting option is specifically used for adjusting the sound effect parameter of the currently used sound equipment, that is, the sound effect parameter setting menu is entered by selecting the sound effect setting option, and the sound effect parameters displayed in the sound effect parameter setting menu all correspond to the currently used sound setting. For example, when the display device 200 receives the control instruction, it recognizes that the first sound emitting device speaker and the second sound emitting device ARC device are both the designated sound emitting device, as shown in fig. 18, sound effect setting options are displayed in the sound setting menu, and further, the display device 200 recognizes whether the first sound emitting device, i.e., the speaker, is the designated sound emitting device. In some embodiments, when the first sound emitting device is a designated sound emitting device, as shown in fig. 18, normal sound effect setting options are displayed in the sound setting menu, that is, the sound effect setting options can be selected, and the corresponding sound effect parameter setting menu can be entered to adjust the sound effect parameters of the first sound emitting device. For example, the user transmits a first parameter adjustment instruction to the display apparatus 200 through the control device 100, the display apparatus 200 displays an audio-effect parameter setting menu as shown in fig. 19 in response to the first parameter adjustment instruction, the audio-effect parameter setting menu including a plurality of audio-effect parameters such as a Sound mode, Surround (Surround), Sound reset (Sound register), Bass emphasis (Bass emphases), Equalizer (Equalizer), and the like, the user transmits a second parameter adjustment instruction to the display apparatus 200 through the control device 100, and the display apparatus 200 responds to the second parameter adjustment instruction to set each audio-effect parameter as a target audio-effect parameter.

In some embodiments, when the first sound producing apparatus is a non-specified sound producing apparatus, the unavailable flag is displayed on the sound effect setting option, for example, as shown in fig. 20, the sound effect setting option is grayed out, or the sound effect setting option uses a specified font color, the sound effect setting option uses a specified background color, a special flag is added on the sound effect setting option, and the like, so as to prompt the user that the sound effect parameter of the first sound producing apparatus is not adjustable. Further, if the user mistakenly sends the first parameter adjusting instruction through the sound effect setting option, the display device 200 may display a prompt message, such as "currently unable to adjust the sound effect parameter" and so on, to prompt the user that the sound effect parameter of the first sound emitting device may not be adjusted.

The process of the display device 200 switching the first sound-emitting device to the target sound-emitting device in response to the switching instruction further includes: the display apparatus 200 recognizes whether the target sound-emitting apparatus (ARC apparatus) is the designated sound-emitting apparatus. In some embodiments, when the target sound producing apparatus is the designated sound producing apparatus, a sound effect setting option without an unavailable identifier is displayed in the sound setting menu, which may refer to fig. 18, wherein the sound producing apparatus setting option displays the apparatus name of the target sound producing apparatus, and the sound effect setting option is selectable, and is specifically used for adjusting the sound effect parameters of the target sound producing apparatus. The process for displaying the sound effect setting options and the process for adjusting the sound effect parameters of the target sound generating device may refer to the process corresponding to fig. 19, which is not described herein again.

In some embodiments, when the target sound producing apparatus is a non-specified sound producing apparatus, an unavailable identifier is displayed on the sound effect setting option, which indicates that the sound effect parameter of the target sound producing apparatus is not adjustable, and reference may be made to fig. 20, where the apparatus name of the target sound producing apparatus is displayed on the sound producing apparatus setting option.

According to the technical scheme, when a user sets the sound equipment, the display equipment and the setting method of the sound equipment provided by the embodiment can prompt that the user does not have the sound equipment which can be switched to be used currently by displaying the prompt identification on the sound equipment setting option in the sound setting menu, prompt that the sound equipment which can adjust sound effect parameters exists in the sound equipment which is accessed by the user currently by displaying the sound effect setting option in the sound setting menu, and prompt that the sound effect parameters of the sound equipment which is used by the user currently cannot be adjusted by displaying the unavailable identification on the sound effect setting option. Therefore, the user can quickly determine the further operation of setting the sound-emitting equipment by browsing the sound setting menu so as to avoid unnecessary operation generated by the user and improve the use experience of the user.

The embodiments provided in the present application are only a few examples of the general concept of the present application, and do not limit the scope of the present application. Any other embodiments extended according to the scheme of the present application without inventive efforts will be within the scope of protection of the present application for a person skilled in the art.
