の時に見たいＢチャンネルに選局し直さねばならない。BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, when a television receiver is turned on, it is usually tuned to the same state as when the power switch was previously turned off. However, this often differs from the state of the program that the user wants to watch, and the user must immediately perform a channel selection operation to reselect the program that the user wants to watch, that is, the program that the user usually watches at that time. For example, when you get home, watch channel A, turn off the power switch,
In the morning, when I turn on the power switch, it becomes channel A, so I have to re-select to channel B, which I want to watch at that time.
以下、従来の自動選局装置について図面を参照しなから
説明する。A conventional automatic channel selection device will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, a microcomputer (hereinafter referred to as microcomputer) I is connected to a tuner 2 and also to an arithmetic unit 4 that is connected to a timer part 3. The present invention constitutes a channel selection system for a television receiver, and uses data from a timer section 3 that counts the day of the week and time as a variable to calculate and total the channel selection data in a calculation section 4. The calculation section 4 is connected to a memory section 5, and the contents of the calculation section 4 are stored in the memory section 5.

コン１に選局命令を出力するように構成している。Further, the memory section 5 and the timer section 3 are connected to a processing section 6, which generates a channel selection command from the stored contents of the memory section 5 based on the data from the timer section 3. The above constitutes an automatic channel selection means. Furthermore, the processing section 6 and the operation section 7
is connected to the changeover switch 8, and the output terminal of the changeover switch 8 is connected to the microcomputer 1, which switches between the channel selection command from the processing section 6 and the channel selection command from the operation section 7, and sends the channel selection command to the microcomputer 1. It is configured to output.

側に切り換える。The operation of the above configuration will be explained below. Normally, the microcomputer 1 outputs tuning data to the tuner 2 in response to a tuning command from the operating section 7 to select a channel, or the tuning data is sent to the calculation section 4 based on time data from the timer section 3. Tally. In other words, the timer section 3 measures "Hinichi" on a weekly basis and on a 24-hour basis, and therefore the calculation section 4 aggregates the channel selection data on a specific day of the week and at a specific time. and is stored in the memory part 5. Normally, the changeover switch 8 is switched to the output side of the operation section 7,
According to the processing section 6 or the timer section 3, when the total result of the past most frequently selected channel selection data at that time exceeds a certain level, the changeover switch 8 is switched to the output side from the processing section 6.

ことになる。From the output end of the changeover switch 8 to the microcomputer 1,
Outputs a tuning command for the most frequently used tuning data in the past at that time. With the above mechanism, on a specific day of the week and at a specific time, a predetermined TV program that is often watched will be automatically selected even without a channel selection command from the operation unit 7.

していた。Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above-mentioned conventional configuration, it is fully anticipated that the user may wish to watch a program other than the specific program, and in such a case, the changeover switch 8 will issue a command to select the specific program or process the program. In this case, even if the switch 8 is manually switched to a program other than the specific program, the channel selection command is automatically switched back to the original specific program from the processing section 6. I end up. In this way, the program is changed one after another by the automatic channel selection means, and there is a problem in that the user cannot freely select a channel according to his/her preference.

じたテレビ番組が楽しめることになる。Effect With the above configuration, after the power is turned on, no channel selection command is received from the user to the operation means, and when there is a channel selection command from the automatic tuning means, the specific program that the user always watches is automatically displayed to the user. At this time, if a channel selection command from the user is entered into the operating means even once, the operation detection control means detects this and controls the switching means, and the user's channel selection command from the operating means is selected. Therefore, if the user wants to watch a program other than a specific program, the automatic channel selection means will interrupt the channel selection and allow the user to freely select the channel, depending on the user's preference. You will be able to enjoy TV programs.

うに構成されている。FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an automatic channel selection device showing an embodiment of the present invention. Components having the same functions and effects as those of the conventional example are given the same reference numerals and their explanations will be omitted. In FIG. 1, the operation pressure detection control section 11 is connected to the operation section 7 and the changeover switch 12, and detects the operation of the operation section 7.
When the operating section 7 is operated, the changeover switch 12 is controlled to be switched to the output side from the operating section 7. Further, the operation detection control section 11 is connected to the power switch detection section 13, and is configured to detect whether the power switch is turned on by the power switch detection section 13 and thereby reset the operation detection control section 11. .

提供される。The operation of the above configuration will be explained below. If a channel selection command is input from the user via the operation unit 7 even once after the power switch of the television receiver is turned on, this operation is detected even if a channel selection command is output from the automatic channel selection means. The control section 11 detects the channel selection command from the operating section 7 by controlling the changeover switch 12, and outputs the channel selection command from the operating section 7 to the microcomputer 1, thereby making it possible to select a channel according to the user's command. Become. Thereafter, the microcomputer 1 will be controlled according to the commands from the operating section 7. However, the above operation is reset using the power switch detection section 13. That is, when the power switch is turned off and then turned on again, the changeover switch 12 is controlled and the operation section 7
Even if it has been switched to the user's channel selection command from If no tuning command is input to channel 7 and a tuning command from the automatic tuning means is output, the tuning command is automatically switched to the tuning command from the processing unit 6 of the automatic tuning means, and the user's preference is automatically changed. You will be provided with a set TV program to watch.
