도 1은 본 발명의 실시 예가 적용되는 텔레비전 수신기의 블록 구성을 도시한 것이다. 상기 도 1을 참조하면,1 is a block diagram of a television receiver to which an embodiment of the present invention is applied. Referring to FIG. 1,
텔레비전 수신기(100)내 TV 수신부(102)는 지상파나 케이블 또는 위성을 통하여 전송되는 TV 신호를 수신하여 복조시킨다.The TV receiver 102 in the television receiver 100 receives and demodulates a TV signal transmitted through a terrestrial wave, a cable, or a satellite.
마이콤(Micom)(106)은 리모콘(112) 또는 프론트판넬(104)에 구비되는 기능키의 입력에 따른 텔레비전의 전반적인 동작을 제어하며, IR 수신부(108)로부터 입력되는 리모콘(112)으로부터의 채널 설정 키입력 신호 또는 프론트판넬(104)로부터 입력되는 채널 설정 키입력 신호에 따라 상기 TV 수신부(102)로부터 복조되는 TV 신호 중 사용자에 의해 채널 설정된 해당 채널의 TV 신호를 CRT 모니터(110)를 통해 디스플레이시킨다. 또한 본 발명의 실시 예에 따라 리모콘(112) 또는 프론트판넬 키입력부(104)로부터 사용자 모드 온 키의 입력이 있는 경우 사용자 인증을 수행한 후, 사용자 정보와 함께 미리 TV에 설정된 사용자별 TV 셋팅 값, 예를 들어 TV 밝기상태, 휘도, Wake up time, 선호 채널 정보 등을 TV에 셋팅시켜 사용자별 맞춤 TV환경을 설정하게 된다.Micom 106 controls the overall operation of the television according to the input of the function keys provided on the remote control 112 or the front panel 104, and the channel from the remote control 112 input from the IR receiver 108 The TV signal of the corresponding channel set by the user among the TV signals demodulated from the TV receiving unit 102 according to the setting key input signal or the channel setting key input signal input from the front panel 104 through the CRT monitor 110. Display. In addition, if there is an input of the user mode on key from the remote controller 112 or the front panel key input unit 104 according to an embodiment of the present invention, after performing user authentication, the user-specific TV setting value previously set in the TV with the user information. For example, the TV brightness status, brightness, wake up time, preferred channel information, etc. are set on the TV to set a customized TV environment for each user.
도 2는 본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 텔레비전에서 사용자별 TV 환경 설정 제어 흐름을 도시한 것이다. 이하 상기 도 1 및 도 2를 참조하여 본 발명의 실시 예를 상세히 설명한다.2 is a flowchart illustrating a control configuration of a TV environment for each user in a television according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
먼저 사용자는 텔레비전 시청시 자신이 설정해 놓은 TV 환경에서 텔레비전을 시청하고자 하는 경우 텔레비전 프론트 판넬 키입력부(104) 또는 리모콘(112)의 키조작을 통해 사용자 모드 변환을 요청하게 된다.First, when a user wants to watch a television in a TV environment set by the user, the user requests a user mode conversion through a key operation of the television front panel key input unit 104 or the remote controller 112.
그러면 텔레비전 수신기 마이콤(106)은 (S200)단계에서 상기 사용자 모드 변환 요구를 수신하여 (S202)단계로 진행해서 사용자 정보를 입력받아 텔레비전에 사용자별 TV 환경 설정을 위한 사용자 인증을 수행한다. 상기 사용자 인증 절차는 상기 텔레비전 사용자로 등록되어 있지 않은 사람에 의해 사용자 모드가 요청되는 경우 인증되지 않은 사용자에 의해 등록된 사용자들의 TV 환경설정 정보 노출을 방지하며, 또한 사용자별 TV 환경설정 정보가 임의로 변경되지 않도록 하기 위함이다.Then, the television receiver micom 106 receives the user mode conversion request in step S200, proceeds to step S202, receives user information, and performs user authentication for setting a user-specific TV environment on the television. The user authentication procedure prevents exposure of TV configuration information of users registered by an unauthenticated user when a user mode is requested by a person who is not registered as the television user. This is to prevent changes.
이때 만일 사용자에 의해 입력된 사용자 정보가 사용자별 TV 환경 설정 서비스에 등록되지 않은 사용자 정보인 경우 마이콤(106)은 상기 사용자 모드 요청한 사용자를 등록되지 않은 사용자로 판단하고, (S204)단계에서 (S206)단계로 진행해서 텔레비전의 기본 환경 설정 값으로 텔레비전을 시청할 것인지를 검사한 후, 기본 환경 설정 값으로의 시청이 입력되는 경우 텔레비전에 기본 환경 설정값을 적용하여 동작시킴으로써, 등록되지 않은 사용자가 사용자별 미리 설정된 TV 환경으로 텔레비전을 동작시키지 못하도록 한다(S208).In this case, if the user information input by the user is user information that is not registered in the user-specific TV environment setting service, the microcomputer 106 determines the user mode request user as an unregistered user, and in step S204, In step), the user checks whether the television is to be watched using the basic configuration value of the television, and when the viewing of the basic configuration value is input, the user applies the basic preference value to the television to operate the user. In operation S208, the TV may not be operated in a preset TV environment.
이와 달리 상기 (S202)단계에서 입력된 사용자 정보가 사용자별 TV 환경 설정 서비스에 미리 등록된 사용자 정보로 확인되는 경우 마이콤(106)은 상기 (S204)단계에서 이에 응답하여 (S210)단계로 진행해서 텔레비전의 환경을 사용자별 취향 및 선택에 따라 등록된 TV 환경모드를 메모리로부터 리드한 후, (S212)단계에서 상기 리드된 사용자별 TV 환경모드로 설정시키게 된다. 이때 상기 사용자별 TV 환경은 전술한 바와 같이 예를 들어, TV의 밝기상태, 휘도, Wake up time, 채널정보 등이 될 수 있다.On the contrary, when the user information input in the step S202 is confirmed as the user information registered in advance in the user-specific TV environment setting service, the microcomputer 106 proceeds to the step S210 in response to the step S204. After the registered TV environment mode is read from the memory according to the taste and selection for each user, the TV environment mode is set to the read-by-user TV environment mode in step S212. In this case, the user-specific TV environment may be, for example, the brightness state, the brightness, the wake up time, the channel information of the TV, and the like.
상술한 바와 같이 본 발명에서는 텔레비전에 사용자별 맞춤형 TV 환경 설정값을 미리 저장하여 두고 사용자 인증을 통해 텔레비전 모드를 사용자별 TV 환경으로 설정하여 사용자 개인별 취향에 맞게 텔레비전을 시청할 수 있도록 한다.As described above, in the present invention, the user-customized TV environment setting values are stored in advance in the television, and the television mode is set as the user-specific TV environment through user authentication so that the user can watch the television according to the user's personal preference.
한편 상술한 본 발명의 설명에서는 구체적인 실시 예에 관해 설명하였으나, 여러 가지 변형이 본 발명의 범위에서 벗어나지 않고 실시될 수 있다. 따라서 발명의 범위는 설명된 실시 예에 의하여 정할 것이 아니고 특허청구범위에 의해 정하여져야 한다.Meanwhile, in the above description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the invention should be determined by the claims rather than by the described embodiments.
이상에서 설명한 바와 같이, 본 발명은 텔레비전에 사용자별 맞춤형 TV 환경 설정값을 미리 저장하여 두고 사용자 인증을 통해 간단한 키조작 만으로 텔레비전 수신기에 사용자별 TV 환경설정 모드를 적용할 수 있도록 함으로써, 자신의 취향에 맞는 최적화된 TV 환경설정 모드에서 텔레비전을 시청할 수 있도록 하는 이점이 있다.As described above, the present invention stores the customized TV environment setting values for each user in advance in the television, and enables the user to apply the TV environment setting mode for the television receiver with a simple key operation through user authentication. There is an advantage to watching television in an optimized TV configuration mode.
