Abstract

A mouse pointing-type remote controller is provided to apply a mouse pointing type to a TV remote controller, and to adopt a finger movement as a means for mouse pointing, thus user's convenience is tremendously improved. A finger movement recognition device(11) is attached to a central part or a position which is easily operated. When an OSD(On Screen Display) screen is selected, a cursor is shown on a TV screen, so that a user selects a desired task by moving the cursor according to finger's movement. The finger movement recognition device(11) carries out the task on the basis of shadow recognition, so as to recognize the finger's movement even with low resolution and low precision.

본 발명은 첫째, TV 리모콘에 마우스포인팅 방식을 적용하고, 둘째, 마우스포인팅의 수단으로 손가락움직임을 채택함으로써, 사용자의 편의성을 크게 향상시키는 유저인터페이스에 관한 기술이다.The present invention relates to a user interface that firstly applies a mouse pointing method to a TV remote control, and secondly, adopts a finger movement as a means of mouse pointing, thereby greatly improving user convenience.

일반적으로 TV를 포함한 많은 가전제품이 다양한 기능을 가지고 있으나, 실제로 이용자들은 극히 일부 기능만을 이용하고 있으며 이러한 현상은 좀처럼 개선되지 않고 있다. 특히 노인이나 어린이 등 리모콘 기능의 습득이 어려운 계층의 경우는 TV 및 가전제품의 원활한 이용이 불가능한 경우도 발생한다.In general, many home appliances including TVs have various functions, but in reality, users use only a few functions, and this phenomenon is rarely improved. In particular, in the case of the difficult to learn the remote control function, such as the elderly or children, it is not possible to use the TV and home appliances smoothly.

이러한 현상에 착안하여 메뉴트리방식을 통한 리모콘 조작이 도입되었으나, 상하좌우 이동버튼에 의한 제한된 이동으로 이용편의성에 한계가 있으며, 최근에는 이에 대한 개선으로 조이스틱 기능을 내장하여 메뉴선택시 상하좌우가 아닌 사선방향으로 이동이 가능한 형태도 발명되었으나 이용상 불편은 여전하다.In view of this phenomenon, the remote control operation through the menu tree method has been introduced, but there is a limit to the ease of use due to limited movement by the up, down, left, and right moving buttons. Recently, the joystick function has been incorporated to improve the function. The invention has also been invented in a diagonally movable manner, but still has inconvenience in use.

특히 최근에는 인터넷이 가능한 TV가 개발되면서 TV 화면에 마우스포인팅 기능 구현이 필수적인 과제가 되었으나, 이를 위한 도구가 마땅치 않아 현재는 무선 마우스 및 무선키보드 등에 의존하고 있다.In particular, the recent development of the Internet-enabled TV has become an essential task to implement the mouse pointing function on the TV screen, but now it depends on a wireless mouse and a wireless keyboard as a tool for this is not appropriate.

본 발명은 현재의 TV 리모콘이 가진 유저인터페이스(User Interface)를 획기적으로 향상시키는 기술을 구현한 TV 리모콘을 제안함으로써 향후 누구나 손쉽게 TV가 가진 기능을 충분히 활용할 수 있게 함에 그 목적이 있으며, 나아가서는 AV기기를 포함한 가전제품에 적용할 수 있게 한다.The present invention proposes a TV remote control that implements a technology that significantly improves the user interface of the current TV remote control, so that anyone can easily take full advantage of the function of the TV in the future. It can be applied to home appliances including appliances.

본 발명의 TV 리모콘은 일반적인 모양의 기존 TV 리모콘(도 1)을 기본으로 하여 그 중앙부에 손가락의 움직임을 인식하는 장치를 부착하는 것으로 그 개략적 모양(도 2)이 완성되며, 그 모양은 일반적인 기존 TV 리모콘 형태에서 일부 단순화된 형태(도 6-1) 및 극도로 단순화된 형태(도 6-2)까지 다양하게 제작될 수 있다.TV remote control of the present invention is based on the conventional TV remote control (Fig. 1) of the general shape by attaching a device for recognizing the movement of the finger in the center of the schematic shape (Fig. 2) is completed, the shape is a conventional conventional It can be produced in various ways from the TV remote control form to some simplified form (FIG. 6-1) and extremely simplified form (FIG. 6-2).

본 발명의 TV 리모콘은 도 2와 같이 중앙에 손가락 움직임 인식장치(11)가 위치하고 그 외의 부분에는 기존의 선택버튼(입력버튼을 포함한다)이 위치하는 구조로 되어 있다.In the TV remote control according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the finger motion recognition device 11 is positioned at the center, and the existing selection button (including the input button) is located at the other part.

TV를 작동한 후, 채널선택(번호입력 혹은 증감버튼입력)이나 음량조절 등은 기존의 방식대로 조작되나, OSD(On Screen Display)화면 선택 시에는 다음과 같이 조작된다.After operating the TV, channel selection (number input or increase / decrease button input) or volume control are operated in the conventional manner, but when the OSD (On Screen Display) screen is selected, the following operation is performed.

먼저 손가락 움직임 인식장치(11) 자체를 클릭하거나, 혹은 별도로 설정된 버튼을 클릭하면 TV화면에 OSD화면이 전개된다. 이때 도 5-1과 같은 메뉴트리 전개방식이 아닌, 도 5-2와 같은 사용자 친화적인 OSD화면이 전개되며 커서가 나타나게 된다. 이때 손가락 움직임 인식장치에 엄지손가락을 위치하여 움직이면 OSD화면 속의 커서를 원하는 방향대로 자유롭게 포인팅을 할 수 있게 된다.First, when the finger motion recognition device 11 itself is clicked or when a button set separately is clicked, the OSD screen is displayed on the TV screen. In this case, the user-friendly OSD screen as shown in FIG. 5-2 is developed and the cursor is displayed, rather than the menu tree deployment method as shown in FIG. 5-1. At this time, if the thumb moves on the finger motion recognition device, the cursor on the OSD screen can be freely pointed in the desired direction.

포인팅하여 아이콘이 선택되면, 손가락 움직임 인식장치(11) 자체를 클릭하거나, 혹은 별도로 설정된 버튼을 클릭하면, 마우스의 클릭동작과 동일한 기능이 나타난다.When the icon is selected by pointing, when the finger motion recognition device 11 itself is clicked or when a button set separately is clicked, the same function as that of a mouse click appears.

상기 인식장치(11)는 손가락의 움직임을 인식하고 그 정보를 처리하여 리모콘 제어부(13)로 보낸다. 도 3과 같이 상기 인식장치(11)에서 보내진 정보는 기존의 리모콘 선택버튼에서 보내진 정보와 함께 리모콘 제어부(13)에서 처리되어 IR변조부(14)로 보내진 후, TV로 전송된다.The recognition device 11 recognizes the movement of a finger, processes the information, and sends the information to the remote controller controller 13. As shown in FIG. 3, the information sent from the recognition device 11 is processed by the remote control unit 13 together with the information sent from the existing remote control selection button and sent to the IR modulator 14, and then transmitted to the TV.

도 2와 같이 상기 인식장치(11)는 투명 혹은 반투명체(5) 위에 놓인 손가락의 움직임을 광센서(6)가 전기적 신호로 변환하여 광 DSP(12)를 거쳐 리모콘 제어부로 보내지는 구조를 가진다. 이 과정에서 광센서나 광 DSP가 지문을 인식하는 정도의 해상도를 가질 필요는 없으며, 투명 혹은 반투명체(5) 위에 놓인 손가락에 의해 형성되는 음영과 이의 움직임을 인식하는 정도의 광센서와 광 DSP로 이루어진 장치로 충분하다. 또한 높은 해상도를 요구하지 않음으로써 광원의 종류와 투명 혹은 반투명체(5)의 종류 및 재질은 엄격한 조건을 필요로 하지 않고 광범위하게 적용될 수 있다.As shown in FIG. 2, the recognition device 11 has a structure in which the movement of a finger placed on the transparent or translucent body 5 is converted into an electrical signal by the optical sensor 6 and sent to the remote controller through the optical DSP 12. In this process, the optical sensor or the optical DSP does not have to have a resolution that recognizes a fingerprint. Instead, the optical sensor and the optical DSP recognize a shadow formed by a finger placed on a transparent or translucent body and its movement. The device made is enough. In addition, by not requiring a high resolution, the type of light source and the type and material of the transparent or translucent body 5 may be widely applied without requiring strict conditions.

본 발명의 TV 리모콘은 AV기기를 비롯한 가전제품에 광범위하게 적용될 수 있는 바, 도 4는 DVD 플레이어에 적용되는 예를 보여준다.TV remote control of the present invention can be applied to a wide range of home appliances, including AV equipment, Figure 4 shows an example applied to the DVD player.

또한, 본 발명의 TV 리모콘은 IrDA 규격에 입각한 적외선통신을 통해 TV와 연결되나, RF 및 블루투스에 의한 방식도 가능하다.In addition, the TV remote control of the present invention is connected to the TV through the infrared communication based on the IrDA standard, but also by RF and Bluetooth.

본 발명의 TV 리모콘은 유저인터페이스(User Interface)를 이용자 지향적으로 획기적으로 향상시킴으로써TV remote control of the present invention by improving the user interface (User Interface) significantly

첫째, 소비자는 기존 TV 혹은 보다 기능이 강화될 미래의 TV가 가지고 있는 기능을 누구나 쉽게 이용할 수 있게 하며,First, consumers can easily use the functions of existing TVs or TVs of the future, which will be enhanced.

둘째, TV 제조회사는 이용자 지향적 기능개발의 걸림돌이었던 유저인터페이스가 향상되므로 더욱더 기술개발에 노력할 수 있으며,Second, TV manufacturers can make efforts to develop technology more and more because the user interface, which was the obstacle of user-oriented function development, is improved.

셋째, AV기기 및 기타 가전제품에 광범위하게 사용되면서, TV를 통한 가정의 모든 가전제품 조작에서 홈오토메이션을 구현하는 대안이 될 수 있다.Third, while being widely used in AV equipment and other home appliances, it may be an alternative to implement home automation in all home appliances manipulation through a TV.
