Abstract

Provided are a display apparatus and display method for the display apparatus with a rotatable display. A controller thereof is configured to, during a power-off state or standby state of the display apparatus, in response to an instruction for starting the display apparatus, detect a current rotation state of the rotatable display; in response to the rotatable display being in the horizontal state, control the display to present an animation for the starting of the display apparatus corresponding to the horizontal state; and in response to the rotatable display being in the portrait state, control the display to present an animation for the starting of the display apparatus corresponding to the portrait state.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display apparatus, comprising:
a display comprising a first side and a second side, the second side being shorter than the first side;
a rotating assembly, configured to rotate the display to a rotation state, wherein the rotation state comprises two standard states and at least one nonstandard states, the two standard states are a horizontal state and a portrait state, the at least one nonstandard state comprises a state during rotating of the display in a circle except the two standard states, the horizontal state is a state that the first side in a horizontal direction is greater than the second side in a vertical direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction, and the portrait state is a state that the second side in the horizontal direction is smaller than the first side in the vertical direction; and
at least one processor, in connection with the display and the rotating assembly, and configured to:
during a standby state of the display apparatus, and in response to an instruction for turning on the display apparatus from the standby state to a work state;
detect a rotating angle of the rotating assembly that is configured to fix the display onto a wall or a bracket, and determine a physical rotation state of the display according to a relationship between the rotating angle of the rotating assembly and the physical rotation state of the display;

in response to a determination that the physical rotation state of the display is at a nonstandard state upon turning on the display apparatus from the standby state,
control the rotating assembly to move and, along with motion of the rotating assembly, to drive the display to rotate from the nonstandard state to a standard state, and
control the display to be in a blank screen state in a process of rotating the display, along with the motion of the rotating assembly, from the nonstandard state to the standard state;

in response to the physical rotation state of the display being in the horizontal state after a completion of rotating the display from the nonstandard state to the standard state, control the display to present a boot animation for the turning on of the display apparatus corresponding to the horizontal state;
in response to the physical rotation state of the display being in the portrait state after a completion of rotating the display from the nonstandard state to the standard state, control the display to present a boot animation for the turning on of the display apparatus corresponding to the portrait state;
while the boot animation being presented on the display, detect a signal source for content, wherein the signal source comprises one of a first signal source only supporting the horizontal state, a second signal source only supporting the portrait state, and a compound signal source supporting both the horizontal state and the portrait state, the first signal source comprises a television broadcast signal source, and the second signal source comprises a short video application signal source;
in response to the signal source supporting the physical rotation state of the display, control the display to draw a picture corresponding to the signal source; and in response to the signal source not supporting the physical rotation state of the display, control the display to draw a home page corresponding to the current physical rotation state of the display,

wherein the content, corresponding to the picture, or the home page is displayed after a completion for presenting the boot animation.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
display the boot animation on an upper layer of an interface from the signal source or the home page; and
in response to the boot animation completing displaying, display an interface from the signal source or the home page corresponding to the physical rotation state on the display.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
acquire the instruction for turning on the display apparatus input from a user;
in response to the instruction, start a transition service, wherein the transition service is configured to start the signal source set for a starting process as default; and
read the signal source through the transition service, and determine which rotation state is supported by the signal source.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
in response to the physical rotation state of the display being the horizontal state and the signal source being the first signal source, control the display to present a horizontal animation, and upon completing displaying of the horizontal animation, present a horizontal interface from the signal source on the display;
in response to the physical rotation state of the display being the horizontal state and the signal source being the portrait signal source, control the display to present a horizontal animation, and upon completing displaying of the horizontal animation, present a home page corresponding to the horizontal state on the display; and
in response to the physical rotation state of the display being the horizontal state and the signal source being the compound signal source, control the display to present a horizontal animation, and upon completing displaying of the horizontal animation, present a picture from the compound signal source adaptive to the horizontal state on the display.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
in response to the physical rotation state of the display being the portrait state and the signal source being the first signal source, control the display to present a horizontal animation, and upon completing displaying of the horizontal animation, present a home page corresponding to the portrait state on the display;
in response to the physical rotation state of the display being the portrait state and the signal source being the second signal source, control the display to present a portrait animation, and upon completing displaying of the portrait animation, present a portrait interface from the signal source on the display; and
in response to the physical rotation state of the display being the portrait state and the signal source being the compound signal source, control the display to present a portrait animation, and upon completing displaying of the portrait animation, present an interface from the compound signal source adaptive to the portrait state on the display.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising an acceleration sensor connected to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
in response to the turning on of the display apparatus, control the display to present a logo picture; and
detect the physical rotation state of the display through the acceleration sensor during displaying of the logo picture.

7. The display apparatus according to the claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
send a request for home page data corresponding to a standard state of the display to a server;
receive the home page data returned from the server based on the request; and
control the display to present a home page according to the home page data.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein for rotating the display from the nonstandard state to the standard state, the at least one processor is further configured to:
extracting an original rotation state and a target rotation state in a previous use of the display apparatus;
determining a rotating direction accor
