Description

    A DISPLAY DEVICE THAT CAN RECEIVE IMAGE FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE
  • The present invention relates to a display device that can receive images from an external source.
  • In display devices, especially in televisions, various connection units are present that provide images to be received from an external image source. The display devices that are connected to the external sources by means of these connection units, display the image received from the external source on its screen. The image received from the external source cannot be positioned on the screen properly in cases wherein the resolution of the image received from the external source and the resolution supported by the display device are different. The image may overflow out of the screen or uses only a portion of the screen. In order to solve this problem, the limit points of the image received from the external source are detected and the image is provided to be positioned on the screen automatically by the control unit. But, the said problem cannot be completely solved in the case the image format is not detected correctly. When the image cannot be positioned on the screen automatically, the user tries to position the image on the screen by using the image size and image position options in the menu but since the limit points cannot be discerned, this process takes a long time depending on the context of the image.
  • In the state of the art Japanese Patent Application No. JP7007708, a display device is described, comprising a control unit that detects the two diagonal corners of the image received from the external source and provides these two corners to be carried automatically towards the corner points of the screen. In this embodiment, the left upper corner and the right lower corner are used.
  • The aim of the present invention is the realization of a display device that comprises a control unit which provides the image received from the external source to be easily positioned on the screen by the user.
  • The display device realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a connection unit providing the external source to be connected and a control unit that processes the signals received from the external source and converts them into images.
  • In the display device of the present invention, the control unit places at least two cursors on the corner points of the image delivered by the external source. If the user is not satisfied by the positioning of the image on the screen, he/she can adjust the position and size of the image on the screen. In this embodiment, the image is provided to be positioned on the screen more easily by means of the cursors.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the display device comprises a memory wherein the on-screen menu templates are recorded. Sub-menus exist in the on-screen menu, that provide the parameters of the image size and image position to be adjusted. The user can increase and/or decrease the image size in the horizontal and/or vertical direction by making use of this option in the on-screen menu.

Afterwards, when the same external source is connected to the display device, the control unit detects the external source by means of the identification number and loads the last image size and image position values applied for this external source.
  • In another embodiment of the present invention, two cursors are provided on the image. These cursors are located at the two ends of a diagonal of the preferably rectangular shaped image. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cursors are placed at the upper left and lower right corners.
  • In another embodiment of the present invention, cursors are provided on each corner of the image. In this embodiment, one cursor is provided on each of the four corners of the preferably rectangular shaped image.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the cursors are shaped as arrows, the tips of which are positioned to face the corner points of the image. In this embodiment, the body part of the used cursor is rectangular. The pointed end of the cursor enables the corner point of the image to be detected completely and can be easily discerned by the user since its body is thick.
  • In another embodiment of the present invention, the cursor is shaped as a hand positioned so that the index finger points at the corner of the image.
  • In another embodiment of the present invention, the connection unit is selected from the group of VGA, HDMI, DVI, USB, Scart, S-video.

  • The control unit (4),
    • converts the video signal received from the external source (S) to image (G),
    • detects the corner points by scanning the image (G) horizontally and vertically and
    • provides the image (G) to be transmitted to the screen (2).
  • The external source (S) generating video signal is connected to the display device (1) by means of the connection unit (3). In the display device (1), when the connection unit (3), whereto the external source (S) is connected, is activated the video signals generated by the external source (S) are transmitted to the display device (1). The video signals received from the external source (S) are converted into the image (G) by means of the control unit (4) and delivered to the screen (2). The control unit (4) also determines the corner points by scanning the image (G) horizontally and vertically.
  • In the display device (1) of the present invention, the control unit (4) places at least two cursors (C) on the image (G) for showing the corner points thus enabling the user to position the image (G) on the screen (2) properly. The image (G) can be adjusted manually by the user in cases wherein the image (G) received from the external source (S) is not positioned properly on the screen (2) of the display device (1). The user provides the image (G) to be properly positioned on the screen (2) by changing the size and position of the image (G) so that the cursors (C) are at the corners of the screen (2) by means of the cursors (C) disposed on at least two corners of the image (G). Thus, the image (G) received from the external source (S) does not incur losses and the screen (2) is provided to be used effectively (Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4).
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the display device (1) comprises a memory (5) wherein at least one on-screen menu template that has the option of adjusting the image size (P1) and/or the image position (P2) is recorded. In this embodiment, the control unit (4) enables the user to make changes on the image (G) by utilizing the image size (P1) and the image position (P2) options located in the on-screen menu. When the image size (P1) option is selected in the on-screen menu opened by the adjustment buttons on the display device (1) and/or the remote control, sub-menus appear that provide the image (G) size to be changed in the horizontal and vertical directions. By means of these menus, the cursors (C) on the corners of the image (G) are aligned with the corners of the screen (2) and the image (G) is provided to be positioned properly on the screen (2). By means of the image position (P2) option in the on-screen menu, the image (G) received from the external source (S) can be moved on the screen (2) in the horizontal or vertical directions.
  • In another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit (4) places the cursors (C) on the image (G) when the user selects the image size (P1) or the image position (P2) adjustment options in the on-screen menu. In this embodiment, when the image (G) is positioned on the screen (2) without requiring any intervention by the user, the cursors (C) are not viewed unnecessarily and customer dissatisfaction is prevented. In the case the user is not satisfied with screen (2) positioning of the image (G) displayed on the screen (2), he/she changes the respective parameter by selecting the image size (P1) and/or the image position (P2) option from the on-screen menu and the adjustment of the image (G) by the user is facilitated by placing the cursors (C) on the corners of the image (G) in the meantime.
  • In another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit (4) also places the cursors (C) on the image (G) at the moment the image (G) received from the external source (S) is projected on the screen (2) and provides them to remain on the image (G) as long as a waiting time (t) predetermined by the producer thereby informing the user about the position of the image (G) on the screen (2). In this embodiment, the image (G) is projected on the screen (2) together with the cursors (C) and the user is enabled to decide whether or not the image (G) is properly positioned on the screen (2) by looking at the cursors (C). The cursors (C), projected on the screen (2) together with the image (G), are removed from the image (G) after a waiting time (t) (for example five seconds) predetermined by the producer. Consequently, the user can easily notice that the image (G) is not properly positioned on the screen (2) since some portion of the cursors (C) are not seen in cases wherein the image (G) overflows out of the screen (2).
  • In a derivative of this embodiment, the control unit (4) provides the size of the cursor (C) to gradually get smaller during a time (t) determined by the producer and to disappear from the image (G) at the end of the waiting time (t) predetermined by the producer.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit (4),
    • records in its memory the last updated values of the image size (P1) and image position (P2) and the identification number of the external source (S) that is currently connected to the connection unit (3) and matches them with each other when the values of the image size (P1) and image position (P2) are changed by the user,
    • when the external source (S) is connected to the connection unit (3), compares the identification number of the connected external source (S) with the identification numbers in its memory and if the identification number of the external source (S) is recorded in its memory, applies the image size (P1) and image position (P2) matching with the respective identification number.
  • Thus, when the same external source (S) is used more than once, the image (G) is projected on the screen (2) in the last adjusted manner by the user in the usages after the use where the image size (PI) and the image position (P2) are changed. This provides ease of utilization.
  • In another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit (4) places the cursors (C) at the two corners of the image (G) which are diagonal to each other.
