Description

The method of displaying color in screen video control
Technical field
The present invention relates to the method that a kind of screen color shows, particularly relate to a kind of element property of utilizing and come display screen to look the method for control color the mode of color form grouping.
Background technology
" audiovisual entertainment " become the topmost amusement and recreation of people since twentieth century, playing media arrives the audio-visual multimedia player (VCD, DVD) of digital morphological etc. again from film, the TV of simulation form.Because correlation technique constantly upwards promotes, make no matter the telepresenc of being personally on the scene is arranged can both bringing the audience aspect visual performance (video) and the audible representation (audio) two.For satisfying user's demand, the also continual renovation, powerful under dealer's effort of the function of video-audio playing system.Yet the function of system the more also can be more and more complicated in the relative operation.Therefore, how when function increases, still can allow the user be convenient to operation, become the target that the designer makes great efforts.
The control menu (being called for short screen video control shows) of looking on the screen has become one of main user's operation-interface, and the user can carry out different operations to Play System via the menu that shows on the screen.In broad terms, screen video control shows can comprise function setting menu (set up menu) and display and operation (OnScreen Display, OSD), both all are the function choosing-items that can provide via display (monitor) system of displaying the play, and set or show state for the user.In general, in order to allow the user be easy to the selectable project of identification on the screen, image and colour switching can provide the user preferable recognition effect.Therefore, screen video control shows often provides multi-level menu, each menu to include a plurality of alternative elements, and each element is made up of literal and textbox (frame) usually.If distinguish, comprise foreground (the normally color of literal) and back scenery (color of textbox) usually with color.Therefore, when in a single day the element that is not selected is selected, by the change of foreground, to remind the situation of choosing of user's menu interior element with the back scenery.
Be to utilize to provide a group image in the prior art that Figure 1A describes, and decide the execution mode of image according to the state of choosing of element all demonstration situations.In Figure 1A, label 101,102,103 is represented being selected of element respectively, is not chosen, the image of disabled state.Significantly, such way not only needs to provide many images to each element, and each element has only an image to be shown in the same time, all the other not selected images still need occupying system resources (for example depositing in the internal memory), except waste system resource, elementary state is switched video calling process required when frequent, also can cause no small burden to system.
Another kind shown in Figure 1B is in the prior art with 8 color video data, cooperate 8 color index color saucer (palette), so that looking the control menu item and can present the example of 256 kinds of change in color on the screen, it is to do explanation not considering that display menu is positioned under the data volume size that coordinate data, width data (width), length data (height) on the screen wait other data.Yet, with the common color change of screen video control menu interior element, the variation of its color of element of having chosen and not being selected, the simplest promptly is the exchange of foreground and back scenery.Therefore, if only consider the color video data of element merely, the element of having chosen and not being selected is because the displacement of color (scenery after for example foreground becomes, back scenery becomes foreground), all color video datas of each pixel (Pixel) (color index numbering just) will be done once and exchange in the element.Yet, because of the existing color saucer shown in Figure 1B needs to number correspondence to go out the color of institute with demonstration by color index, even so only be the color exchange of the forward and backward scenery of menu interior element, element of every conversion must change the color display data of foreground and back scenery, and frequent conversion menu item only can increase the load of system handles data, but this wilfully is again unavoidable situation.
In addition, show with screen video control, the just conversion of color in twos of the situation of change in color majority, the color change of 16 looks promptly is enough to deal with the demand that screen video control shows in fact.In view of this, the invention provides a kind of method that shows about on-screen menu individual event order color, make system when handling the menu item colour switching, under the condition of keeping the identical figure place of system handles, still can effectively reduce the size of the data volume of required processing.

Embodiment
The invention provides the method that a kind of screen color shows, the color that utilizes group number to be formed in conjunction with the color index numbering shows byte, when making the colour switching of system's each element in handling menu, only need change group number and need not change whole color demonstration byte, therefore can effectively reduce the data volume of the required processing of system.Below enumerate a preferred embodiment with explanation the present invention, only be one for example but those skilled in the art all can understand this, and be not in order to limit invention itself.The detailed description of relevant this preferred embodiment is as follows.
As shown in Figure 2, Fig. 2 is the color flow for displaying figure of preferred embodiment of the present invention about the screen video control demonstration.At first, plan a color form table of comparisons (step 401).Please also refer to Fig. 3, the color form table of comparisons according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, comprise two fields: 4 group number (groupnumber) field and status attribute field, group number can be divided into according to its attributive classification: inactive state (inactive state) (G=0~6), active state (active state) (G=A), selected state (selected state) (G=B), disabled state (disable state) (G=C), system definition (system defined) (G=D), screen display is controlled use (OSD defined usage) (G=E, F) and undefined part (undefined) (G=7~9).
In preferred embodiment of the present invention, " system definition " represents the fixing part that shows in the interior element of menu; " screen display is controlled use " distributes to the part of display and operation (OSD); The part of " undefined " then can be set up on their own by the designer.With the DVD Play System is example, " disabled state " ordinary representation system and external audio-visual playing media or the unsupported option of disc.For instance, though the DVD Play System can be supported multinational captions output, when disc itself only has Chinese to show, because of only being arranged on the DVD Play System, Chinese provide the user to choose, so all the other national menu element promptly are to present disabled state.
Please refer to flow chart shown in Figure 2.After step 401, then plan a color saucer (step 403).Please consult Fig. 4 simultaneously, it is the color saucer of preferred embodiment of the present invention (palette) schematic diagram, each group number (G=0~F, with 4 is totally 16 groups of examples) the color index numbering (I=0~F), and each group color index numbering has each self-corresponding red (R), green (G), blue (B) color data of corresponding uniform amt separately all arranged.
One screen video control display system 10 (step 405) is provided after step 403.As shown in Figure 5, setting menu (set up menu) with a DVD player system, screen video control display system 10 provides a ground floor menu 20, and ground floor menu 20 can be provided with a plurality of daughter elements (as six of " set "~" the default value settings " of icon etc., its corresponding textbox then annotate respectively label 201 to 206).Each daughter element can be the second layer menu 22 that comprises a plurality of grandson's elements (" DOWNMIX pattern "~" sound channel test " etc.) or only comprise a Sun Yuansu, can certainly not have Sun Yuansu.It should be noted, be example with two- layer menu 20,22 only at this, also more multi-layered menu can be arranged certainly.According to method of the present invention, arbitrary element all comprises a foreground (text color) and a back scenery (textbox color) is formed, and above-mentioned foreground and back scenery have the color index numbering of appointment respectively, to show its color.
And then after the step 405, according to its group number (step 407) of setting state of element.Please be simultaneously with reference to Fig. 5 A, when the user entered ground floor menu 20, system's 10 default daughter elements (being generally first element, just " the general setting ") were active state, remaining daughter element will be preset as inactive state or disabled state.Certainly, it is active state that the user can specify the daughter element of arbitrary inactive state of ground floor menu 20, for example when the user chooses " loud speaker setting " shown in Fig. 5 A, the group number of " the general setting " will change to inactive state, and the group number of " loud speaker setting " then changes to active state.In addition, because the daughter element (" loud speaker setting ") of active state comprises second layer menu 22, system's 10 group number with " loud speaker setting " change to selected state.
Further, shown in Fig. 5 B, one Sun Yuansu of the daughter element (" loud speaker setting ") of system's 10 default selected states is active state (normally " a DOWNMIX pattern "), all the other Sun Yuansu then are preset as inactive state or disabled state, the user can specify the Sun Yuansu of an inactive state (as " center loudspeaker " of figure, its corresponding textbox label 221 of then annotating) be active state, and therefore the group number of " DOWNMIX pattern " will change to inactive state.It should be noted,, then can follow aforesaid variation, to set the group number of each element if when system supports more multi-layered menu.
Please return with reference to flow chart shown in Figure 2.After step 407, the group number and the color index that merge element are numbered to become a byte (step 409).Please also refer to Fig. 6, it is the format description figure of the color display data of preferred embodiment of the present invention, with a daughter element is example, screen video control display system 10 is preceding nibble (4bits) with the group number of daughter element, is numbered back nibble (4bits) with the color index of its foreground correspondence and merges into first byte (8bits).Simultaneously, also corresponding with the back scenery of this daughter element color index of the preceding nibble of this daughter element is numbered later half byte and merges into second byte.It should be noted that in this preferred embodiment, it only is one for example that group number and color index numbering is respectively used 4 data volume, also can use 8 even 16 s' data length, is not in order to limit category of the present invention.
At last, can be according to first byte and second byte in toning, to consult colour component respectively, in order to the color (step 411) of display element.Wherein, system 10 finds out corresponding group number and color index numbering according to the value of first byte, finds out corresponding R, G, the B color data color with the display foreground look according to the color index numbering to color saucer again.Equally, comply with the value of second byte to show the color of back scenery.
Shown in Fig. 7 A and Fig. 7 B, its in the preferred embodiment of the present invention about the color video data byte of the forward and backward scenery of the daughter element of activity and inactive state.As seen from the figure, the foreground color index of the daughter element of active state (G=1010) is numbered 0000 (color saucer of contrast Fig. 4 is for red), and back scenery color index is numbered 1111 (bluenesss); The foreground color index of the daughter element of inactive state (G=0000) is numbered 0000 (color saucer of contrast Fig. 4 is for blue), and back scenery color index is numbered 1111 (redness).Therefore, by the group number that changes daughter element, and the fixed color index number, utilize R, G, the B color data that exchanges the color index numbering again, when making the state change of element, only change the group number of element, can reach the effect of color displacement.
Setting menu with general DVD is an example, please refer to Fig. 5, and ground floor menu 20 has comprised that general setting, loud speaker are set, DOLBY DIGITAL is set, Dolby Surround is set, six projects such as setting and default value setting of playing Karaoka.The literal color of these six projects shows the part that belongs to foreground, for simplifying the performance of color, can give identical color index numbering 0h (0000b).But 201 to 206 of its textboxs are the demonstrations of back scenery, have identical color index numbering Fh (1111b) equally.System 10 and default literal " are generally set ", are reached textbox 201 and be default active state, according to Fig. 4, its group number will be Ah (1010b), therefore, the color video data of the word segment of " the general setting " will be A0h (10100000b), the color display data of textbox 201 will be AFh (10101111b), and the color video data of remaining five project will be 00h (00000000b) about word segment, and textbox then is 0Fh (00001111b).So according to shown in Figure 4, textbox 201 will show that remaining textbox then shows with redness with blueness.
When user's desire is set loud speaker, can utilize remote controller key or mouse moving will make " loud speaker setting " this piece textbox light.At this moment, according to method of the present invention, the color video data of " loud speaker setting " word segment will change to A0h by 00h, and the color display data of textbox 202 will become AFh by 0Fh.Relatively, the color display data becomes 00h by A0h to literal in the former textbox 201 " the general setting ", and textbox 201 colors become 0Fh by AFh.
If when entering following one deck menu (second layer menu 22) of " loud speaker setting " again, the color video data of " loud speaker setting " word segment will change to B0h (its group number is to become selected state B by active state A) by A0h, and the color display data of textbox 202 will become BFh by AFh.In addition, the color video data of " center loudspeaker " (default active state project) word segment will change to A0h by 00h, and the color display data of textbox 221 will become AFh by 0Fh, all the other color video datas with four projects (inactive state) of menu will be 00h about word segment, and textbox then is 0Fh.If still lower floor's menu is arranged, then will carry out the setting of color video data according to above-mentioned rule.
Though the present invention illustrates as above with preferred embodiments, so it is not in order to limit the present invention's spirit and invention.Therefore, the modification of being done under the prerequisite that does not break away from spirit of the present invention and scope all should be included in the scope of claim of the present invention.
