TV mode setting method {TELEVISION FUNCTION SETTING METHOD}

The present invention relates to a TV mode setting method, and in particular, to facilitate the user's function setting in a multi-functional TV receiver and suitable for viewing of inexperienced users (On Screen Display, hereinafter referred to as OSD) The present invention relates to a TV mode setting method in which a TV mode can be set by dividing a display mode into an initial setting mode, a basic operation mode, and an extended operation mode.

1 is a block diagram of a TV receiver according to the prior art, comprising: a tuner 101 which receives and tunes a TV signal from an antenna ANT; A video signal processor 102 for processing the video signal tuned from the tuner 101; A remote controller 103 for transmitting a signal corresponding to a function desired by a user, such as channel selection; A receiving unit 104 for receiving and amplifying a signal input from the remote controller 103; A microcomputer (105) for executing a corresponding command according to the signals input from the remote controller (103) and the receiver (104) and controlling other sections of the TV receiver; An OSD controller (106) for transmitting an OSD signal according to the control of the microcomputer (105); A switching unit (107) for selecting and transmitting one of the signals input from the image signal processing unit (102) and the OSD control unit (106); A video signal controller 108 for controlling a video signal input from the switching unit 107; And a CRT 109 for displaying a video signal input from the video signal controller 108.

Figure 2 shows an embodiment of the OSD according to the prior art.

Hereinafter, an OSD display method according to the related art will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 as follows.

The TV signal transmitted from the broadcasting station is received by the antenna, the tuner 101 tunes a desired channel, and then the image signal processor 102 detects and amplifies the image signal.

The remote controller 103 transmits a signal corresponding to a function desired by a user, and the receiver 104 amplifies the signal input from the remote controller 103 and sends the signal to the microcomputer 105.

The microcomputer 105 executes a corresponding command according to the signal transmitted from the remote controller 103 and controls the tuner 101, the OSD controller 106, and the image signal controller 108.

The OSD control unit 106 transmits the corresponding OSD signal to the switching unit 107 under the control of the microcomputer 105, and the switching unit 107 transmits the image signal from the image signal processing unit 102 and the OSD control unit 106. One signal from among the input signals is selected and transmitted, and the image signal controller 108 sprays the signal input from the switching unit 107 to the CRT 109 under the control of the microcomputer 105 to display an image. Be sure to

That is, the program is set in advance to perform an OSD command on the microcomputer 105, and when the OSD-related signal is input from the remote controller 103, the OSD control unit 106 is controlled to execute the command. Display an image corresponding to the OSD related signal.

Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of the OSD display according to the prior art, which is divided into a menu for channel setting, a menu for image processing, a menu for audio processing, a menu for general functions, and a menu for special functions. When the detailed menu corresponding to the upper menus is selected by pressing a corresponding button of the remote controller 103 of FIG. 1, a desired value may be set or a function may be controlled through the microcomputer 105 for the selected function.

However, the conventional OSD display method displays the OSD using only one display method regardless of a beginner or a user who is not familiar with TV functions. When trying to operate or set, there is a problem that the TV can be viewed in an inadequate state or cannot be viewed due to the complexity and difficulty of TV function manipulation and the mistake of operation resulting from immaturity of use.

Accordingly, in the present invention, the OSD display method is divided into a basic operation mode and an extended operation mode to provide a convenient and safe viewing mode for the user by selectively displaying them according to the user who is inexperienced or the user's taste. The purpose is to provide.

1 is a block diagram of a TV receiver according to the prior art.

Figure 2 is an exemplary view of an on-screen display according to the prior art.

Figure 3 is an exemplary embodiment of an initial setting mode of the on-screen display according to the present invention.

Figure 4 is an embodiment of a basic operation mode of the on-screen display according to the present invention.

5 is an exemplary view of an extended operation mode of an on-screen display according to the present invention.

6 is an operation flowchart of TV mode performance according to the present invention.

FIG. 7 illustrates a signal flow of TV mode setting according to the present invention, and as shown therein, a first step in which power is turned on; A second step of initial setting; Determining whether the mode is a basic operation mode or not; If the mode is the basic operation mode, it is set as the basic operation mode, and if it is not the basic operation mode, the fourth operation is set as the extended operation mode.

FIG. 6 illustrates a signal flow of performing a TV mode according to the present invention, and as shown therein, a first step of selecting a TV function corresponding to a submenu of the mode; Determining whether the mode is a basic operation mode or not; If the mode is the basic operation mode, and performs the basic operation mode, and if not the basic operation mode is a third step of performing the extended operation mode.

Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3 to 7.

The TV signal transmitted from the broadcasting station is received by the antenna, the tuner 101 tunes a desired channel, and then the image signal processor 102 detects and amplifies the image signal.

The remote controller 103 transmits a signal corresponding to a function desired by a user, and the receiver 104 amplifies the signal input from the remote controller 103 and sends the signal to the microcomputer 105.
