Fig. 2 is the FB(flow block) that the present invention and television set keep the viewing distance method.
Referring to Fig. 1, a kind of and television set of the present invention keep the device of viewing distance, are one apart from monitoring device, can be made up of distance measuring sensor connecting interface circuit, and be connected with an I/O (I/O) mouth of former CPU (CPU) in the television set.Distance measuring sensor wherein is used for detecting in real time the distance between television set front object (movable human body) and television set body, and interface circuit then is used for the output signal of distance measuring sensor is converted to the discernible and sufficiently stable level of former CPU (CPU) in the television set.
Device among Fig. 1 adopted long apart from diffuse reflection type infrared ray sensor 11 as distance measuring sensor, its finding range calculates according to television screen size and obtains, as taking advantage of 2.5 times for the television screen diagonal.Usually the television screen size is set to 21 ", 25 " " 29 " and 34 ", can select corresponding diffuse reflection type infrared ray sensor 11 according to this screen size during enforcement.Generally can be with the long position, middle that is arranged on the television picture tube below apart from diffuse reflection type infrared ray sensor 11, be convenient to detect the predetermined distance range that is positioned at the television set front and have or not people or the object of sensing, if can sense, then export first level signal apart from diffuse reflection type infrared ray sensor 11 by long, as be high level or low level, if can not sense, then export second level signal apart from diffuse reflection type infrared ray sensor 11, as be low level or high level by long.
Interface circuit 12 be used for long level signal conversion process apart from 11 outputs of diffuse reflection type infrared ray sensor become one stable can be by the level signal of the former CPU of television set (CPU) identification.Interface circuit 12 among the figure is made of the common emitter voltage stabilizing circuit, and when length was output as high level apart from diffuse reflection type infrared ray sensor 11, transistor Q ended, interface circuit 12 output high level; When length is output as low level apart from diffuse reflection type infrared ray sensor 11, transistor Q conducting, interface circuit 12 output low levels.
By same requirement, also can design other interface circuit.
Referring to Fig. 2, be a kind of implementing procedure figure of the inventive method.The present invention can utilize the CPU (CPU) of former television set on hardware, but must make amendment with additional to its program, could pass through the program control screen display (OSD On-Screen Display) in the television set CPU (CPU), the blank screen state when finally realizing viewing distance control.
The osd function of television set is the peculiar function of television set CPU (CPU), from the TV software design point of view, be exactly various control registers, control position, color, size, content of character display etc. again by this CPU of software control (CPU); Angle from the TV hardware designs, exactly television line, field sync signal are offered CPU (CPU), and then draw three looks (red, green, orchid) signal and the blanking signal of character display respectively from four ends of CPU (CPU), these four kinds of signals are caused the drive(r) stage of electron gun more respectively.Wherein OSD shows to be exactly character display on screen, and it is exactly that the character that will show on the screen is removed that OSD removes.Method of the present invention has been used this OSD to show with OSD and has been removed function.
The control program of CPU mainly is made of three aspects: the one, and initialize routine is carried out initialization behind the Program reset; The 2nd, main program is an endless loop; The 3rd, interrupt routine is included as remote control interrupt routine that remote control receives service, for character shows the OSD interrupt routine that (OSD demonstrations) serves and is used for clock interrupt routine of timing, also uses this clock interrupt routine during the open and close machine.
The main program of television set CPU (CPU) is an endless loop, behind the television set electrification reset, just enter main program through initialization, the every circulation primary of main program, just the I/O mouth to the television set CPU (CPU) that is connected with interface circuit 12 carries out one query, gather the level data of this I/O mouth, because in the time Be Controlled trace interval on the scene of main program circulation primary, thereby the real-time of the inventive method guaranteed.
In circulation each time, program is read the level signal of being changed out by interface circuit 12 (step 201) from this I/O (I/O) mouth of television set CPU (CPU); Program judges that this level signal is high level or low level (step 202); If the level of reading is high level (in the predetermined distance range before television set object being arranged), then starting timer picks up counting, in the circulation each time of main program, the counting of timer is by the decision of the clock interrupt routine of television set CPU (CPU), clock interrupts once then that the counting of timer adds 1, main program in circulation each time all watchdog timer have or not timing to 5 second or greater than 5 seconds (step 203); If the timer timing was more than or equal to 5 seconds, then stop timer and continue timing (step 204), control television set simultaneously and be in the blank screen state, and the OSD prompt facility of startup television set, as showing the character (step 205) of " please keep at a distance ", after the step 205,206, program is all returned step 201 and is continued to carry out next circulation; If when execution in step 203, the timing of timer is less than 5 seconds, then except making timer continue not do any other processing (step 206) the timing; If when execution in step 202, the level signal that program is judged interface circuit output is low level (not having object in the predetermined distance range before television set), then with timer zero clearing (step 207); And judge that the current OSD of television set that has or not points out (step 208); If no OSD prompting is then returned step 201 and is carried out; If return next circulation of step 201 execution after having the OSD prompting then to remove OSD prompting (step 210).Timing time is arranged to 5 seconds, can avoids frequent blank screen, when before television set, having personnel to walk about, blank screen can not take place temporarily, in order to avoid interrupt rating.
Blank screen is programme controlled by television set CPU (CPU), and four kinds of implementation methods can be arranged.One of method is to hide with OSD surplus symbol under the program control of CPU (CPU), promptly uses little black box one by one to fill up whole screen, allows whole television screen demonstration black determine, and covers image with black box, reaches the purpose of blank screen.Two of method is to use the OSD blanking, makes television set be in the OSD hidden state, promptly utilizes the special function of this kind of CPU (CPU), and the special controller by among the program control CPU allows television set be in hidden state, reaches the purpose of blank screen.Three of method is VIDEO MUTE control bits of main decoder chip in the control television set, i.e. control program by CPU, utilize the VIDEO MUTE control bit of main decoder chip in the iic bus control television set, cut off the intermediate frequency input of television set, allow television set not have image output, reach the purpose of blank screen.Four of method is the control programs by CPU, utilizes iic bus, and contrast, the brightness of television set is reduced to 0, and three electron guns are quit work, and reaches the purpose of blank screen.From the angle of being convenient to implement, in above-mentioned four kinds of methods, be good with the 4th kind of method.
The present invention is the method and apparatus that an appropriate distance is arranged between a kind of guarantor and television set, comprises that infrared distance measurement and OSD remind.Infrared distance measurement comprises: by long measuring unmanned or other object that can obstruct the view are arranged in the distance of setting apart from diffuse reflection type infrared ray sensor, and output high level or low level; By interface circuit with the conversion of signals of infrared ray sensor output be one stable can be by the level of the I/O mouth identification of CPU; CPU reads the level of being changed by interface circuit from this I/O mouth; CPU judges that this level is high level or low level, if low level, to the timer zero clearing, if high level picks up counting; Whether CPU judges timer greater than 5 seconds, if less than 5 seconds, does not then do any processing, if more than or equal to 5 seconds, then allows the television set blank screen, and by OSD prompting characters such as " please keep at a distance ".Owing to can allow the rating people keep suitable viewing distance with television set all the time, thereby can protect human eyesight effectively.
