Abstract

Disclosed are a method and mobile terminal for displaying DLNA equipment the method comprising accessing the DLNA network through wireless communication obtaining the DLNA equipment in the DLNA network; adding the DLNA equipment to a DLNA list which is correspondingly related to a shortcut icon; displaying the shortcut icon at the predetermined position of the display interface; entering the DLNA list by clicking on the shortcut icon to choose and operate the DLNA equipment. By said means, the method and the mobile terminal for displaying DLNA equipment can simplify the operating steps, and improve the efficiency of operating DLNA equipment for user.

Claims

1. A method of displaying a DLNA apparatus, comprising:

accessing a DLNA network via a wireless mode;

acquiring a DLNA apparatus in the DLNA network;

determining whether the DLNA apparatus is in a connectable status, and adding the DLNA apparatus to a DLNA list if the DLNA apparatus is in a connectable status, or acquiring other DLNA apparatuses in the DLNA network if the DLNA apparatus is not in a connectable status, wherein the DLNA list is correspondingly related to a shortcut icon;

concealing the shortcut icon in a display interface, calling the shortcut icon in response to a user'"'"'s activation operation on the display interface, and displaying the shortcut icon at a predetermined position;

entering the DLNA list by clicking the shortcut icon to select and operate the DLNA apparatus.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the DLNA network is a wireless network or a wired network.

2. The method of claim I, wherein the display interface is a touch interface, and the activation operation is a downward sliding action from the predetermined position.

4. A mobile terminal, comprising an accessing module, an acquiring module, an adding module, a displaying module and a selecting module, wherein:

the accessing module is configured to access a DLNA network via a wireless mode;

the acquiring module is configured to acquire a DLNA apparatus in the DLNA network;

the adding module is configured to add the DLNA apparatus to a DLNA list, wherein the DLNA list is correspondingly related to a shortcut icon;

the displaying module is configured to display the shortcut icon at a predetermined position on a display interface; and

the selecting module is configured to enter the DLNA list by clicking the shortcut icon to select and operate the DLNA apparatus.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the adding module is specifically configured to determine whether the DLNA apparatus is in a connectable status, and add the DLNA apparatus to the DLNA list if the DLNA apparatus is in a connectable status, or acquire other DLNA apparatuses in the DLNA network if the DLNA apparatus is not in a connectable status.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the displaying module is specifically configured to conceal the shortcut icon in the display interface, call the shortcut icon in response to a user'"'"'s activation operation on the display interface, and display the shortcut icon at the predetermined position.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 6, wherein the display interface is a touch interface, and the activation operation is a downward sliding action from the predetermined position.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the DLNA network is a wireless network or a wired network.

9. A method of displaying a DLNA apparatus, comprising the following steps of:

accessing a DLNA network via a wireless mode;

acquiring a DLNA apparatus in the DLNA network;

adding the DLNA apparatus to a DLNA list, wherein the DLNA list is correspondingly related to a shortcut icon;

displaying the shortcut icon at a predetermined position on a display interface; and

entering the DLNA list by clicking the shortcut icon to select and operate the DLNA apparatus.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the step of adding the DLNA apparatus to a DLNA list is specifically as follows:

determining whether the DLNA apparatus is in a connectable status, and adding the DLNA apparatus to the DLNA list if the DLNA apparatus is in a connectable status, or acquiring other DLNA apparatuses in the DLNA network if the DLNA apparatus is not in a connectable status.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the step of displaying the shortcut icon at a predetermined position on a display interface comprises:

concealing the shortcut icon in the display interface;

calling the shortcut icon in response to a user'"'"'s activation operation on the y interface; and

displaying the shortcut icon at the predetermined position.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the display interface is a touch interface, and the activation operation is a downward sliding action from the predetermined position.

13. The mobile terminal of claim 9, wherein the DLNA network is a wireless network or a wired network.

14. A mobile terminal, comprising an accessing module, an acquiring module, an adding module, a displaying module and a selecting module, wherein:

the accessing module is configured to access a DLNA network via a wireless mode;
