Description

  The present invention relates to a television apparatus having a built-in optical disk device capable of recording or reproducing with respect to an optical disk, and more particularly, to a display method of the conveyance direction of an optical disk displayed by the television apparatus using an OSD (on-screen display) function.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, recording and playback devices using digital optical disks, such as DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) recorders, have been widely used as devices for recording moving images and audio processed in image devices such as televisions. Also, as a multi-function device incorporating such a recording / reproducing device, a television device with a built-in optical disk device is widely used.

  The television device with a built-in optical disc device includes an optical disc device capable of recording / reproducing information with respect to an optical disc recording medium such as a DVD medium. In addition to receiving TV broadcasts, it is possible to perform processing such as playback of DVD software and recording of TV broadcasts received by a tuner on DVD media. Such a television device with a built-in optical disk device is usually a television microcomputer (= microcomputer for television control) that controls reception and display of television broadcasts and a DVD microcomputer (= microcomputer for DVD drive control) that controls recording / reproduction by a DVD drive. Computer) with two microcomputers.

  For this reason, for example, when the television device with a built-in optical disk device is turned on, the startup processing of the television device performed by the television microcomputer, for example, the initial setting or channel selection operation of the television device, and the startup of the optical disk device performed by the DVD microcomputer are performed. The lifting process, for example, the spin-up process of the optical disc is performed simultaneously.

  Normally, while the television microcomputer performs the start-up process of the television device, the screen is a black-colored screen called a black back state. This is performed by the television microcomputer using the OSD processing unit on the television device side to create a black image and output it to the screen. In this state, even if the DVD microcomputer tries to display some image using the OSD processing unit on the optical disk device side, the black-back display processing by the TV microcomputer has priority, and as a result, no image can be displayed. It becomes.

  However, even if the screen is in a blackback state, the DVD microcomputer is independent of the TV microcomputer, and therefore various processes using the optical disk device can be performed. Therefore, when the DVD microcomputer is used, there is a problem that the OSD processing unit cannot notify the user of the execution status even though various processes using the optical disk apparatus are being executed.

  Specifically, for example, it is assumed that the activation of the power supply is triggered by the optical disk being carried into the television apparatus with a built-in optical disk apparatus in a power-off state. In this case, the DVD microcomputer performs an optical disk carry-in process, but during that time, the TV microcomputer performs a start-up process of the TV device, so that the screen is in a blackback state. For this reason, it is not possible to display an OSD image indicating an optical disk carry-in process, such as an arrow icon.

  Note that the screen is also in a blackback state when the television microcomputer performs a shutdown process of the television device. Therefore, as in the startup process, the DVD microcomputer cannot display an image using the OSD processing unit during the shutdown process.

  In relation to the above, Patent Document 1 discloses a television with a built-in DVD player that can prevent a user from inserting a DVD by mistake even when the disc insertion slot of the DVD player is a slot-in type. A receiver is disclosed. The television receiver with a built-in DVD player in Patent Document 1 does not supply power from the power supply unit to the DVD player unit when the power switch is turned on. When a DVD is inserted into the DVD player unit from the disc insertion slot, power supply from the power source unit to the DVD player unit is started.

  The control means outputs to the monitor a display indicating that a DVD exists in the DVD player unit based on the disk presence / absence information recorded in the disk presence / absence information storage means to which power is supplied when the power switch is turned on. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the user from erroneously inserting the DVD twice.

  In relation to the above, in Patent Document 2, when a player is turned on while an external device such as a VTR is operating, a period from when the player is turned on until an image is actually reproduced continues to be an image from the external device such as a VTR. Is a TV signal connection method in which a mark indicating that the player is turned on is displayed on a part of the screen of the TV, and the operating state of the player can be known while viewing the screen of the VTR or the like. It is disclosed.

In the television signal connection method of Patent Document 2, a character pattern insertion circuit is provided in a video signal output path. During the period from when the player is turned on to when the playback signal is actually output, a signal from an external device such as a VTR is continuously output to the video signal path, and a character or mark indicating that the player is turned on is displayed on the video. Insert into signal and output. As a result, the operating state of the player is displayed on the television screen.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-314015 JP-A-10-290434

  However, in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 described above, a method for indicating the disc insertion state of the DVD player or the operation state of the DVD player when the television device performs normal display is disclosed. There is no disclosure or suggestion about the OSD display process when the is in the blackback state. Therefore, the inventions of Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2 have a problem that they are not effective in the blackback state that occurs when the television apparatus is started or shut down, as in the case of the conventional OSD display.

  According to this, the television apparatus with a built-in optical disk device of the present invention records attachment position information indicating the attachment position where the optical disk device is attached to the television apparatus with a built-in optical disk device on a recording medium such as a ROM. This mounting position is determined depending on the part of the optical disk device in which the optical disk device is mounted. The mounting position information indicating the mounting position is recorded in a memory or the like at the time of factory shipment of the television device with a built-in optical disk device, for example. When the first transport detection unit detects the loading or unloading of the optical disk, the transport direction display unit reads the mounting position information from the recording medium to identify the mounting position, and displays a transport direction display image in the vicinity of the identified mounting position. Displayed using the TV-side OSD processing unit. For example, it is assumed that the optical disk device is provided at the center of the upper surface when viewed from the front of the television device with the optical disk device. In this case, the transport direction display image is displayed at the upper center of the screen.

  According to the present invention, when the optical disc apparatus carries in or out the optical disc, an image indicating the carry-in direction, for example, an arrow icon or the like is displayed on the screen using the TV-side OSD processing unit. Further, when the disc is carried in or out, an image in which the appearance of the optical disc is simplified is displayed on the screen using the DVD-side OSD processing unit. For this reason, for example, even when the screen is in a black-back state because the television device with a built-in optical disk device is in the process of starting up, it is possible to reliably notify the user at least in the direction of transporting the disc.

The transport direction information indicating the transport direction is recorded in a memory or the like at the time of shipment of the television device with a built-in optical disc device, for example. Therefore, the transport direction display unit can reliably display the transport direction consistent with the mounting position of the optical disc apparatus. For this reason, compared with the conventional case where the conveyance direction display is performed using the DVD-side OSD processing unit, the detection of the conveyance direction of the optical disc and a plurality of conveyance direction indications covering all of the expected conveyance directions are performed. Since it is not necessary to prepare firmware, the apparatus configuration can be simplified.

  According to the invention, the mounting position information indicating the mounting position at which the optical disk device is mounted on the television device with the built-in optical disk device is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. The transport direction display unit reads this and displays a transport direction display image in the vicinity of the attachment position. For this reason, the user can intuitively know that the optical disc apparatus exists near the image indicating the transport direction on the screen. For this reason, it becomes possible to smoothly perform the operation of taking out the optical disk and the like.

The television microcomputer 11 or the DVD microcomputer 13 that has received the instruction performs various processes based on the contents of the instruction.

  The ROM 24 (= recording means) is a recording medium that can only read information. In the ROM 24, information used by the transport direction display unit 11b described later to display the transport direction of the optical disc using the television-side OSD processing unit 19 is recorded. Specifically, transport direction information indicating the transport direction in the carry-out process and the carry-in process of the optical disc, mounting position information indicating the mounting position of the optical disc drive 17, and the like are recorded. The transport direction and the mounting position are determined by the mounting position and mounting direction of the optical disc drive 17. For this reason, it is desirable that these two pieces of information are also recorded in the ROM 24 at the time of production or factory shipment.

<2. About the configuration of the function section>

  Here, the relationship among the functional units for carrying out the conveyance direction display process in the DVD drive built-in television 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to the functional block diagram of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the conveyance direction display process of the present invention is at least a disk conveyance detection unit 11a (= first conveyance detection unit) provided in the television microcomputer 11, a conveyance direction display unit 11b, and a disk conveyance provided in the DVD microcomputer 13. Detection unit 13a (= second conveyance detection unit), disk logo display unit 13b (= simple image display unit), monitor 16, optical disk drive 17, television-side OSD processing unit 19 and DVD-side OSD display unit 20 and a ROM 24.

  The disk transport detection unit 11a detects when an optical disk transport process occurs in the optical disk drive 17. The conveyance process occurs, for example, when a DVD medium is inserted into a disk slot (not shown) provided in the optical disk drive 17.

  The transport direction display unit 11b displays an image (= transport direction display image) indicating that the transport process of the optical disc is being executed when the transport of the optical disc is detected by the disc transport detection unit 11a (= the transport direction display image). Use to display. When this display process is performed, information about the transport direction of the optical disk and the mounting position of the optical disk drive 17 is read from the ROM 24. A transport direction display image that matches the transport direction specified based on the read information is displayed at a position close to the mounting position of the optical disc drive 17 in the screen.

  Similar to the disk conveyance detection unit 11a, the disk conveyance detection unit 13a detects when an optical disk conveyance process occurs in the optical disk drive 17. The disc logo display unit 13 b displays the disc logo (= simple image) of the optical disc using the DVD-side OSD display unit 20 when the disc conveyance detection unit 13 a detects the conveyance of the optical disc.

<3. Transfer display screen>
Here, regarding the conveyance display screen of the optical disk displayed on the monitor 16 by the conveyance direction display unit 11b and the disk logo display unit 13b provided in the television 1 with a built-in DVD drive according to the present invention, the screen diagrams of FIGS. explain.

  FIG. 5 is an example of the conveyance display screen of the television 1 with a built-in DVD drive according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the display screen 50 of the DVD drive built-in television 1 of the present invention includes at least a conveyance direction display image 51 and a disk logo 52 (= an image obtained by simplifying the appearance of the optical disk). It is configured. A display screen 50 in FIG. 5 shows a screen when the optical disk ejection process is performed in a state where the display process of the television broadcast input from the tuner 14 is being performed, for example, during the normal display.

  On the display screen 50 shown in FIG. 5, a transport direction display image 51 is displayed by the television-side OSD processing unit 19. When performing this display process, the TV-side OSD processing unit 19 reads the conveyance direction information and the attachment position information of the optical disc drive 17 from the ROM 24, and based on this, determines the display position and the conveyance direction display image to be displayed. For example, in the example of FIG. 5, an arrow indicating the right direction (= conveying direction display image 51) is displayed at the right center of the display screen 50. This indicates that when the user views the display screen 50 from the front, the optical disc drive 17 is attached to a location located on the right hand side of the display screen 50. Since the arrow indicates the right direction, it is indicated that the optical disk is ejected in the right direction when the display screen 50 is viewed from the front. On the display screen 50, the disc logo 52 is displayed by the DVD-side OSD processing unit 20.

  FIG. 6 is an example of a conveyance display screen of the television 1 with a built-in DVD drive according to the present invention. A display screen 50 in FIG. 6 shows a screen when the optical disc is ejected in a blackback state, for example, in a state where an image cannot be reproduced immediately after the TV 1 with built-in DVD drive is turned on.

  In the screen shown in FIG. 6, the transport direction display image 51 is displayed by the television-side OSD processing unit 19, but the disc logo 52 is not displayed by the DVD-side OSD processing unit 20. Actually, the DVD-side OSD processing unit 20 performs display processing of the disc logo 52, but priority is given to the display of the black-back screen (= black-back state screen) performed by the TV-side OSD processing unit 19. Therefore, the display is in the same state as invalidated. Therefore, the user can recognize only the transport direction display image 51 displayed by the television-side OSD processing unit 19.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, display processing is performed based on the conveyance direction information and attachment position information of the optical disc drive 17 read from the ROM 24. For example, in the example of FIG. 6, an arrow indicating the upward direction (= transport direction display image 51) is displayed on the upper center side of the display screen 50. This indicates that when the user views the display screen 50 from the front, the optical disc drive 17 is mounted at a location located on the upper center side of the display screen 50. Since the arrow indicates the upward direction, it is indicated that the optical disk is ejected upward when the display screen 50 is viewed from the front. However, on the display screen 50, the display of the disc logo 52 by the DVD-side OSD processing unit 20 is invalidated by the display of the black-back screen performed by the television-side OSD processing unit 19, and cannot be viewed by the user.

  FIG. 7 is an example of a conveyance display screen of the television 1 with a built-in DVD drive according to the present invention. FIG. 7 shows a display state when the display screen 50 shown in FIG. 5 shifts from the normal screen to the blackback screen. In the blackback screen, the OSD display by the DVD-side OSD processing unit 20 is invalidated as in FIG. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, only the transport direction display image 51 is displayed, and the disc logo 52 is not displayed.

<4. About optical disc transport direction display processing>
Here, the optical disk transport direction display processing by the television side microcomputer 11 according to the present invention will be described with reference to the block diagrams of FIGS. 1 and 2, the flowchart of FIG. 3, and the screen diagrams of FIGS. To do.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a process flow of the optical disk transport direction display process according to the present invention. This process is started in a state where no optical disc is inserted in the television 1 with a built-in DVD drive. After the start of processing, the disc conveyance detector 11a determines whether or not the insertion of the optical disc into the optical disc drive 17 is detected in step S110.

  If it is determined in step 110 that no insertion has been detected, the process continues to step S110. If it is determined that it has been detected, the transport direction instruction unit 11b instructs the television-side OSD processing unit 19 to display the transport direction display image 51 in step S120.

  At this time, the transport direction instructing unit 11b reads the transport direction information and attachment position information of the optical disc drive 17 from the ROM 24, and determines the display position of the transport direction display image 51 and the transport direction display image 51 to be used based on this information. . This determination content is sent to the television-side OSD processing unit 19. The television-side OSD processing unit 19 that has received the instruction determines an image to be used and a display position of the image based on the instruction, and outputs them to the monitor 16. As a result, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, a transport direction display image 51 is displayed on the display screen 50 of the monitor 16.

  Next, in step S130, the disk transport detection unit 11b starts a monitoring process to determine whether or not the optical disk transport process in the optical disk drive 17 has been completed. This monitoring process is performed in parallel with the processes after step S140. Although not shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3, at the stage when the disk conveyance detection unit 11 b detects the completion of the conveyance process, the conveyance direction instruction unit 11 b displays the conveyance direction display image 51 by the TV-side OSD processing unit 19. The process ends.

  Next, in step S140, the television microcomputer 11 determines whether or not the DVD drive built-in television 1 is in a power-off state when the insertion of the optical disc is detected by the disc conveyance detection unit 11b. If it is determined that the power is not off, the process is terminated. Conversely, if it is determined that the power is off, the television microcomputer 11 performs activation processing of each functional unit constituting the television device in step S150. Specifically, initial setting of each parameter held by the television microcomputer 11, selection of a channel received by the tuner 14, start of control by applying voltage to the monitor 16, and the like are performed.

  Subsequently, in step S160, the television microcomputer 11 uses the television-side OSD processing unit 19 to start blackback processing for setting the monitor 16 to the blackback state. Specifically, a black image is output to the monitor 16 using the TV-side OSD processing unit 19. This black image is displayed with priority over the image displayed by the DVD-side OSD processing unit 20. For this reason, in the blackback state, OSD display by the DVD-side OSD processing unit 20 is substantially impossible. However, OSD display by the TV-side OSD processing unit 19 is possible. Therefore, for example, when the display screen 50 shown in FIG. 5 shifts to the blackback state, only the transport direction display image 51 is displayed as shown in FIG. 7, and the disc logo 52 is not displayed.

  Next, in step S170, the television microcomputer 11 determines whether or not the activation processing of each functional unit constituting the television device has been completed. If it is determined that the process has not been completed, the process proceeds to step S160, and the blackback process and the activation process are continued. On the other hand, if it is determined that the processing has been completed, the television microcomputer 11 terminates the blackback processing by the television-side OSD processing unit 19 in step S180 and terminates this processing.

<1-5. Disc logo display process for optical discs>
Here, the disc logo display processing of the optical disc by the DVD-side microcomputer 13 according to the present invention will be described with reference to the block diagrams of FIGS. 1 and 2, the flowchart of FIG. 4, and the screen diagrams of FIGS. To do.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a processing flow of the disc logo display processing of the optical disc according to the present invention. This process is started in a state where no optical disc is inserted in the television 1 with a built-in DVD drive. This process is performed in parallel with the optical disk transport direction display process shown in FIG. After the start of processing, the disc conveyance detection unit 13a determines whether or not insertion of an optical disc into the optical disc drive 17 is detected in step S210.

  If it is determined in step 210 that no insertion has been detected, the process continues to step S210. On the other hand, if it is determined that it has been detected, the DVD microcomputer 13 uses the optical disc drive 17 to carry the optical disc in step S220. Here, the conveyance process refers to a process from carrying an inserted optical disk to a member that is rotationally driven by a spindle motor or the like until chucking.

  Next, in step S230, the disc logo display unit 13b uses the DVD-side OSD processing unit 20 to display the disc logo 52. As a result, for example, a disc logo 52 is displayed on a part of the display screen 50 as shown in FIG. The disc logo 52 may be displayed at any location within the display screen 50.

  However, in this case, when the black-side processing is performed by the TV-side OSD processing unit 19, the OSD display by the DVD-side OSD processing unit 20 is substantially invalidated. For example, as shown in FIG. It will not appear on the screen.

  Next, in step S240, the disc logo display unit 13b determines whether or not the optical disc transport process has been completed. If it is determined that it has not been completed, the process proceeds to step S230, and the disc logo 52 is continuously displayed. On the contrary, if it is determined that the disk logo display unit 13b has been completed, the disk logo display unit 13b ends the process of displaying the disk logo 52 by the DVD-side OSD processing unit 20 in step S250, and then ends this process.
