A television receiver having a bedtime lighting function according to the present invention for realizing the above object comprises: audio processing means for muting an audio signal in accordance with a predetermined control signal, video processing means for muting an image signal in accordance with a predetermined control signal; A television receiver having an OSD generating means for outputting an OSD screen; Sleep mode setting means for setting a sleep mode function for outputting an OSD screen with a CRT and a melody with a speaker, sound storage means for storing predetermined melody data, and storing first OSD data for storing predetermined OSD data Means, and when the sleep mode is set, control the audio and video processing means to mute the audio and video signals, and read out the melody data and the OSD data from the sound and first OSD data storage means, respectively, and the speaker and the CRT, respectively. It characterized in that it comprises a control means for controlling to output to.

That is, according to the above configuration, it is possible to improve the viewer's sleeping environment by allowing the viewer to create a mood with soft lighting, sweet music, etc. using the television receiver at bedtime.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing the main components of a television receiver having a bedtime lighting function according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, the same parts as in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the drawing, reference numeral 31 denotes a remote controller having various function keys for operating the television, which is input to the sleep mode key 31a and the sleep mode key 31a for selecting the sleep mode function according to the present invention. Accordingly, a designated key 31b for designating a predetermined color menu output on the CRT, a volume control key 31c for adjusting the volume of an audio signal output to the speaker, and a viewer of the color menu output on the CRT. And a selection key 31d as an up-down key for selecting a desired color, and reference numeral 32 denotes a color menu outputted on the CRT as shown in FIG. 4 as the sleep mode key 31a is input.

The second OSD data storage unit for.

Further, reference numeral 34 denotes a sound storage unit for storing data for a predetermined melody, and reference numeral 35 denotes a D / A converter for converting predetermined data output from the sound storage unit 34 into an analog voice signal. to be.

In addition, reference numeral 36 is an OSD generator for outputting a series of OSD pattern data according to a control signal from the controller 30, which will be described later, and reference numeral 37 generates predetermined time data, and when the predetermined time comes, A timer 38 for outputting a result signal is a mode storage unit for storing a state of the sleep mode as a predetermined flag as the sleep mode key 31a is input.

In addition, reference numeral 30 denotes a control unit for controlling the overall operation of the device. In particular, when the viewer selects a color menu, the control unit outputs a series of OSD screens and the sound storage unit 34 corresponding to the color. It outputs a predetermined sound stored in the speaker.

Next, the operation of the apparatus having the configuration shown in FIG. 2 will be described using the operation flowchart of FIG. 3.

When the viewer selects the sleep mode key 31a provided in the remote control device 31 (step ST301), the controller 30 sets the mode storage unit 38 to a predetermined flag for the sleep mode. The mute terminals MUTE of the audio and image processing units 14 and 16 are controlled to mute the audio and video signals (step ST302 and step 303).

Subsequently, the controller 30 reads predetermined OSD data from the first OSD data storage 32 to display an operation process for the sleep mode selected by the viewer, and based on this, the OSD generator 36 is read. By driving control, a predetermined color menu such as red, blue, green, etc. is output on the CRT, for example, as shown in FIG. 4 (ST304).

At this time, the upper menu of the color menu output on the CRT is displayed inverted, and then the viewer manipulates the selection key 31d to change the displayed color menu and then uses the designated key 31b. Can be specified.

At this time, if a designated key 31b is selected in an arbitrary color menu, for example, a green menu (step ST305), the controller 30 selects a predetermined OSD according to the selected green menu from the second OSD data storage unit 33. By reading the pattern data and driving-controlling the OSD generator 36 based on the data, it is controlled to output the selected green screen on the entire CRT (step ST306).

In addition, the controller 30 outputs an OSD screen of the selected green color, and reads out a sweet melody of a memory address corresponding to the selected color from the sound storage unit 34, for example, a sound of a wild bird or a water. The D / A converter 35 converts the analog signal and outputs the analog signal to the speaker (step ST307).

In addition, the controller 30 outputs the melody to the speaker and drives the timer 37 to count predetermined time data to perform the off-timer function (step ST308). When the predetermined time is reached, the resultant signal is output to the controller 30. In this case, the controller 30 turns off the power of the television by suppressing the driving of the relay 21 (step ST310).

Therefore, as described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the viewer's sleeping environment by outputting the melody corresponding to the color output on the CRT while performing a lighting function at bedtime using a television receiver. do.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the said Example, It can variously deform and implement within the range which does not deviate from the technical summary of this invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a television receiver with a bedtime lighting function for improving the viewer's sleeping environment by outputting predetermined colors and melodies to the CRT and the speaker, respectively, using the television receiver.
