Description

Display apparatus for an air conditioner {A display apparatus of airconditioner}

The present invention relates to a display device of an air conditioner, in particular, by displaying the operating state and function settings of the product on the display unit during normal operation of the product and by displaying a picture file or a video on the display unit when the product operation stops The present invention relates to a display device for an air conditioner that can play a role of pursuing high value-added products and decorating a room.

An air conditioner refers to a device that processes and provides intake air to a space so that indoor air can always be comfortably maintained under conditions that are defined as optimal according to the purpose of use, or conditions according to a user's setting.

Referring to FIG. 1, which illustrates a conventional display device for an air conditioner, the display device for a conventional air conditioner includes a product function display unit using a light emitting diode L to display an operation state and a function setting of a product. 1) and an indicator control unit 2 for detecting and controlling a product operation state and a function setting of the air conditioner for display on the product function display unit 1.

Referring to the operation of the display device for a conventional air conditioner configured as described above with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG.

In the first step, the indicator control unit 2 monitors whether the air conditioner is operating on the product function display unit 1 (see S11).

If the determination result of the first step S11 is affirmative in the second step, since the air conditioner is in operation, the state and function of the product are displayed on the product function display unit 1, and in the third step, the function of the first step S11 If the judgment result is negative, the air conditioner is not in operation, so all the light-emitting bodies are terminated in the product function display unit 1 (see S12 and S13).

However, the conventional display device for an air conditioner has a problem of displaying only simple functions such as displaying an operation state and a function setting of a product so that users can recognize them.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the object of which is to display the operating state and function settings of the product on the display unit during normal operation of the product and the display unit when the product operation stops The role is to provide a file or video to display.

According to a first aspect of the display device for an air conditioner according to the present invention for solving the above problems, a display in which the operating state and function settings are displayed during normal operation of the product and a picture and a video are displayed when the product is stopped. And an interface unit which receives images and videos to be displayed on the display unit from outside and converts them into a file so that they can be recognized by the system, and a microcomputer that controls the image processing file and the display unit output from the interface unit. It is composed.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a view illustrating a display device for an air conditioner according to the present invention, wherein the display unit displays an operation state and a function setting during normal operation of the air conditioner and a picture and a video when the air conditioner is stopped. 10) and an interface unit 20 which receives images and videos to be displayed on the display unit 10 and converts them into files by image processing to be recognized by the system, and an image output from the interface unit 20. It consists of a processing file and the microcomputer 30 for controlling the display unit 10.

The display unit 10 includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) for displaying a picture and a video as the display unit 11.

LCD (liquid crystal display) is a screen display device using liquid crystal. It contains liquid crystal in the gap between two thin glass plates, and when voltage is applied through a transparent electrode, the direction of molecular arrangement of the crystal is changed so that the light transmission rate is changed. Is displayed.

In addition, a key input line 12 for transmitting a key input signal by detecting a key press operation of the user between the display unit 10 and the microcomputer 30, and displayed on the display unit 10 by the microcomputer 30. And a data line 13 for transmitting the image information to be processed, and a scan line 14 for controlling the image change of the display unit 10 under the control of the microcomputer 30.

Since the interface unit 20 includes a network terminal 21 for connecting a data terminal or a workstation and a PC camera for providing a picture and a video, the interface unit 20 downloads image data or files from the outside into the air conditioner and interfaces with the interface. The circuit 22 processes the image into a file recognizable by the system.

4 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the display device for an air conditioner according to the present invention.

In the first step, it is determined whether the air conditioner is powered on and operating normally. If the determination result of the first step is affirmative, in the second step, the operation state of the air conditioner and the function setting by the user's selection are displayed. Displayed in section 10 (see S21 and S22).

If the determination result of the first step S21 is negative, in the third step, it is determined whether the image data to be displayed on the display 10 is prepared in the system. If the determination result of the third step is negative, the fourth step Downloads various data from an external system connected to the network connection terminal 21 (see S23 and S24).

If the determination result of the third step S23 is affirmative or the data download of the fourth step S24 is completed, the fifth step displays various data, image data such as a picture and a video, etc. on the display unit 10. (See S25)

Therefore, even when the air conditioner is stopped, image data such as pictures and moving pictures can be displayed on the display unit and data can be downloaded from the outside.

The display device of the present invention configured as described above has the effect of displaying the operating state and the set function of the product during the driving operation of the product and displaying the pictures and videos downloaded from the outside when the operation of the product is stopped.

In addition, by displaying the picture and video on the display unit, not only the role of the product but also the effect of increasing the added value of the product.
