Therefore, the viewer can easily check the weather information of the day through the television receiver can be usefully utilized as a single information device.

The present invention has been created on the basis of the technical content described above, a television having an auto-flashing function using a weather forecast to automatically flash the lamp based on weather information transmitted from a broadcasting station, that is, sunrise and sunset times. The purpose is to provide a water phase.

That is, recently, as the society is gradually advanced, the double- earning couples are gradually increasing. In the case of such a home, when the weather is dark, when returning home, especially women feel the bar, the present invention Automatically flashes the lights using the weather forecast sunrise and sunset times, eliminating the fear of dark surroundings when returning home and providing a television receiver that can be used as an alarm in the morning. There is a purpose.

A television receiver having an automatic flashing function using a weather forecast according to the present invention for realizing the above object is to transmit coded weather information including a sunrise time and a sunset time and a pilot signal according to the broadcast signal. Decoding means for detecting and storing coded weather information added to a broadcast signal in a broadcast system, selection means for selecting an auto-flashing function of a light, and time data according to the code signal detected by the decoding means Code storage means Timer means for generating the current time data, a power terminal for outputting the operating power to the outside, a switching means for controlling the operating power output to the power terminal, the automatic flashing function by the selection means If selected, the sunrise and sunset time days determined from the code storage means. And is the basis of the time data generated by said timer means characterized in that configured to include a control means for switching control of the switching means.

According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, a power supply terminal for coupling an external lamp to a television receiver is provided. The power supply terminal outputs a predetermined power supply voltage at sunrise time or sunset time.

Therefore, the viewer can use the television receiver for the alarm function or the security purpose.

Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a television receiver having an automatic flashing light using a weather forecast according to an embodiment of the present invention, the same reference numerals are attached to the same parts as in FIG. Is omitted.

In Fig. 2, reference numeral 31 denotes a power supply terminal provided outside the television receiver for connecting a lamp, and RY1 is a second relay for controlling the power supply voltage applied to the power supply terminal 31, and 32 A second relay driver which controls the second relay RY1 on / off in accordance with a control signal from the controller 38 to be described.

In addition, reference numeral 33 is a timer for generating current time data, 17 is a remote control device having a selection key for selecting the automatic flashing function of the light according to the weather report, 35 is a selection state of the automatic flashing function of the light; The mode storage unit 36 for storing the code storage unit 36 stores time data corresponding to the code data decoded by the decoding unit 11.

Reference numeral 37 denotes a control unit for controlling the entire apparatus, which is based on the code storage unit 36 based on the code signal applied from the decoding unit 11, in particular, when the auto flashing function of the lamp is selected by the remote control unit 17. When the sunset and sunrise time are read from the same time data and the time data read by the timer 33 are compared and matched, the second relay driver 32 is outputted through the power supply terminal 31 by controlling the second relay driver 32. Interrupt the power supply voltage.

The operation of the device having the above-described configuration will be described below with reference to the operation flowchart shown in FIG. First, when the viewer operates the selection key of the remote control device 17, the control unit 37 stores the selection state in the mode storage unit 35, and thereafter executes the automatic lamp flashing function.

That is, when the automatic mode is set in the mode storage unit 35, the control unit 37 inputs the code data from the decoding unit 11 after in step ST1 and inquires the code storage unit 36 based on the corresponding code data. By doing so, it recognizes the sunrise and sunset times (step ST2).

Subsequently, the controller 37 compares the time data recognized in the step ST2 with the current time data generated by the timer 33 to determine whether the time data are identical (step ST3). In this case, the timer 33 When the time data by the sunrise coincides with the sunset time data (steps ST4 and ST5), it is determined whether the television receiver is in the OFF state. (ST6 stage)

When the television receiver is turned off in step ST6, the second relay driving unit 32 is driven to turn on the second relay RY1 to output a predetermined power supply voltage to the power supply terminal 31.

On the other hand, if the time data by the timer 33 does not match with the sunrise and sunset time data in the steps ST4 and ST5, that is, when the sunrise and sunset times are not reached, the above-described steps ST1 to ST5 are repeatedly executed. In addition, when the television receiver is in the ON state in the step ST6, it is determined that the current viewer is in the weather state or the house, the mode storage unit 35 is reset, and the processing ends. That is, in the above embodiment, when the viewer selects the auto flashing function of the light using the remote controller 17, the light coupled to the power terminal 31 of the television receiver flashes automatically at sunrise and sunset time.

Therefore, the viewer can use the television receiver for the alarm function or the security purpose. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment and can be carried out in various modifications within the scope not departing from the technical gist of the present invention. In other words, the invention may be limited only by the claims appended hereto.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a television receiver equipped with a light auto flashing function using weather forecast which enables the light to flash automatically based on weather information transmitted from a broadcasting station, that is, sunrise and sunset times. do.
