Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to easily grasp adjustment values in the front and the rear by marking the precedent adjustment value and also changing a display state for an adjustment value to be chosen to another state. SOLUTION: A preset adjustment value is displayed with a mark at a display position and changed in the display state. When another adjustment value is selected by an adjusting key, the newly selected adjustment value is changed in the display state while returning the display state of the marked adjustment value to the original state. Then, when the selected adjustment value is fixed, the mark is moved to its display position and displayed, the display state of the selected adjustment value is returned to the original. In such a manner, it is possible to clearly grasp the difference on the screen between the contents of the precedently set adjustment value and those of the adjustment value to be selected next. Therefore, when the color delicately differ in contents like color temperature, it is possible to go back to the precedently set contents, therefore, an erroneous adjustment is avoided.

2. Description of the Related Art When displaying an image of a computer or displaying a television image, it is sometimes necessary to adjust the image displayed on the screen. In particular, when displaying a computer image or the like, there are cases where it is desired to finely adjust the horizontal and vertical display positions and the color temperature of the image displayed on the screen, including the contrast and brightness of the image. In the case of color temperature, it is said that there is a preferred color temperature depending on race. For example, some people prefer bluish white, while others prefer reddish white. In such a case, it is necessary to adjust the color temperature. Alternatively, it is necessary to adjust the color temperature also when it is desired to match white displayed on the screen with white of paper.

In order to satisfy such demands, a user displays a specific adjustment item on a screen using an on-screen display (OSD) function, and selects a plurality of adjustment values included in the displayed adjustment item. 2. Description of the Related Art A display device having an adjustment function that can be set to a desired value is known.

For example, FIG. 19 shows an example of an adjustment screen displayed on the screen when adjusting the color temperature.
In this example, the adjustment item “color temperature” is almost at the center of the screen.
Is displayed, and a plurality of predetermined adjustment values are displayed below the display. In the example of the figure, 9300K, 6
Three kinds of adjustment values of 500K and 5000K are displayed in parallel. Here, “K” is an abbreviation for absolute temperature Kelvin, and the color becomes reddish as the temperature decreases.

[0005] A mark M displayed before a specific adjustment value indicates a value set immediately before. In the figure, 9300K is the preset color temperature. To change the color temperature, an adjustment key (not shown) provided on a screen display unit or the like is operated. Then, the mark M moves up and down. For example, FIG. 20 shows a screen display example when a color temperature of 5000 K is selected by the adjustment key. When the color temperature changes, the color displayed on the screen changes slightly. The color condition is adjusted according to the user's preference. In the figure, 3
It can be adjusted over steps. The mark M is displayed at the selected color temperature.

[0006]

Incidentally, there is a case where it is difficult to select a desired color by a single adjustment such as a color temperature. In such a case, the same adjustment is repeated several times, but as the adjustment is repeated, the user may forget what the previous color temperature was. If only a slight difference appears after the adjustment, the user must remember the color temperature set immediately before, and the color condition at the previous color temperature and the color condition at the next selection Can not be compared. This is because, in some cases, the color condition at the previous color temperature may be better. This is because there is no mark M at the previously adjusted color temperature, and the mark is moved up or down by the adjustment key, and the adjustment has to be terminated in a manner that does not meet the user's desire. Not that can happen.

When a plurality of languages are prepared as adjustment items having a large adjustment value other than the color temperature, for example, a language for displaying a menu, and one of these languages can be selected, an appropriate menu is selected. While selecting a language, it may become unclear what the previously selected menu language is. Even in such a case, if the language of the menu language selected at the beginning is displayed, it is possible to eliminate the hesitation of language selection.

Therefore, the present invention solves such a conventional problem, in which a mark is fixed at a preset position until the adjustment is confirmed, and the adjustment value selected by an adjustment key is adjusted. A display device that facilitates its identification by changing the display state of the selected adjustment value so that it can be distinguished from the others, and moves the mark to that position when the adjustment value is determined. It provides a display method.

[0009]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a display device, comprising: a screen display unit; a plurality of adjustment keys provided on the screen display unit; and inputs from the plurality of adjustment keys. A screen display control unit that receives a signal and displays an adjustment screen corresponding to the screen display unit, a video signal processing unit,
The video signal processing unit is composed of a video signal and a video synthesis unit that synthesizes a display signal from the screen display control unit. The screen display control unit includes a screen display including at least an adjustment value corresponding to an adjustment item. A signal and a display signal for displaying a specific mark at the display position of the adjustment value are generated, and according to the selected adjustment key, the already set adjustment value and the display state of the selected adjustment value are controlled. It is characterized by having been done.

A display method according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is a display method for performing setting such as screen display while selecting an adjustment item displayed on a screen, wherein a display of an already set adjustment value is performed. A mark is displayed at the position, the display state of the adjustment value is changed, and when another adjustment value is selected by the adjustment key, the display state of the adjustment value at which the mark is displayed is returned to the original state, and a new state is displayed. The display state of the selected adjustment value is changed, and when the selected adjustment value is determined, the mark is moved to the display position and displayed, and the display state of the selected adjustment value is returned to the original state. It is characterized by the following.

According to the present invention, at least when a specific adjustment item is selected, a plurality of adjustment values exist therein, and the present invention is applied to an adjustment item in which it is preferable to be able to distinguish preset adjustment values.

First, a mark is fixed at a previously set position until the adjustment is determined. The display state of the selected adjustment value is changed so that the adjustment value selected by the adjustment key can be distinguished from the others. Changing the display state of the adjustment value makes it easy to identify which adjustment value is currently selected by the adjustment key.

When the adjustment value is determined, the mark is moved to that position. At the same time, the display state of the adjustment value is returned to the original state.
By doing so, the position of the mark does not move until the adjustment value is determined, and the adjustment value selected by the user is also clear, so that it is possible to accurately compare the images on both screens. For example, in the case of the color temperature, it is possible to accurately compare the color condition before and after the adjustment, so that the color can be adjusted to the color desired by the user.

[0014]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 will be described for convenience of explanation.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a monitor 21 as a screen display unit applied to the present invention. The figure shows a case in which a flat panel such as a liquid crystal is used, and is composed of a monitor main body 31 and a mounting base 32 thereof. A plurality of adjustment keys 35 for adjusting a display state and the like are provided.

In the figure, the adjustment key 35 is divided into a key for directly selecting an adjustment item and another key, and a contrast (CONT) key can be directly selected as a key.
A brightness (BRT) key and a volume (VOL) up / down key are provided. In the figure, up-down keys are indicated by symbols (+,-) or (↑, ↓). The up / down key also functions as a selection key for selecting an adjustment value or the like.

The OK key functions as a decision key for confirming the selected content, and also functions as an input signal switching key. In this embodiment, two systems of video signals S
Since a and Sb (R, G, B primary color signals) can be switched and displayed, the video signals Sa and Sb can be alternately switched by an OK key.

When these adjustment keys are operated, necessary adjustment items and the like are displayed on a screen 33 by an on-screen display (OSD) function described later. First, FIG. 4 shows a transition relationship between three adjustment keys for directly selecting an adjustment item and an adjustment item. When each adjustment key is operated in the input standby state, a window display corresponding to each adjustment item is displayed. For example, when the adjustment key for contrast is operated, a window for contrast is displayed as shown in FIG. 5, a horizontally long adjustment bar is displayed at the center of the window, and an adjustment item “contrast” is displayed.
And icons for contrast display are respectively displayed at predetermined positions. The length of the adjustment bar and the numerical value displayed beside it have a corresponding relationship. The length of the adjustment bar can be adjusted with the up / down key. When the adjustment is completed, the adjustment value is determined by the OK key, and then the state is shifted to the input standby state as shown in FIG.

When the brightness adjustment key is selected, a brightness window is displayed as shown in FIG. In this window display as well, an adjustment bar is displayed at the center of the screen, and an adjustment item “brightness”, its icon, and an adjustment value (numerical value) of the brightness are displayed at a predetermined position. After adjusting the brightness value with the up / down key, pressing the OK key confirms the adjusted value, and then transitions to an input standby state as shown in FIG.

In the case of volume adjustment, when the up / down key is operated as shown in FIG. 4, a window of the volume, which is an adjustment item, is directly displayed (FIG. 7), and the adjustment execution mode is entered by the simultaneously operated up / down key. When the setting is confirmed by the OK key, an input standby state is set.

In these three adjustment keys, between the contrast and the brightness, as shown in FIG. 4, in each window display state, the change of the adjustment items of the contrast and the brightness and the other adjustment item (input switching) Or menu display). However, it is not possible to make a transition to volume adjustment with any of the contrast and brightness adjustment items selected. This is because the up / down key is used for adjusting the value when the contrast or brightness adjustment item is selected. On the other hand, when the sound volume is selected, it is possible to make a transition to any of the adjustment items of contrast and brightness.

Next, when a menu key is selected, a plurality of adjustment items provided in the menu can be arbitrarily selected. The adjustment items prepared in the menu include adjustment items for performing phase adjustment, pitch adjustment, horizontal position adjustment, vertical position adjustment, and zoom selection. In addition to these adjustments, you can set the color temperature, select the display language of the adjustment items, switch between monaural and stereo, set the bass sound, adjust the brightness of the backlight when the display panel uses an LCD panel, and adjust the power. A wide variety of adjustment items such as setting of save and selection of the display position of the adjustment screen are prepared.

The menu screen is composed of two screens in consideration of the screen size and the number of adjustment items, and selectable adjustment items are displayed as icons on each menu screen. FIG. 8 shows a display example of the first menu screen. From the first menu screen, a total of eight kinds of adjustment items displayed by icons can be selected. FIG. 9 shows a mutual transition state among five adjustment items among them. FIG. 10 shows a state transition when the color temperature is selected as the adjustment item.

For convenience of explanation, among the adjustment items shown in FIG. 8, each adjustment item of phase (phase), pitch, horizontal position, vertical position, and zoom, and window display screens corresponding thereto are shown in FIGS. . These window display screens are window display screens for adjustment.
Adjustment items, adjustment bars, adjustment values, and the like are displayed in substantially the same manner as the screen configuration shown in FIG. 7. Further, on the window display screen, icons for the above-described adjustment items are displayed on the left side of the screen. A selection key for selecting an adjustment value (also used as an up / down key), a decision key (also used for an OK key), and an end key (also used for a menu key) for fixing a state are displayed on a lower side. ing.

Therefore, when the menu key is operated, a first menu screen is first displayed, and the adjustment items prepared in the menu are selected by the up / down keys, and when confirming the selected adjustment item, the OK key is pressed.
When "Phase (face)" is selected by the up / down key, a window display screen as shown in FIG. 10 is displayed.
When "pitch" is selected, the window display screen shown in FIG. 11 is displayed. When "horizontal position" is selected, the window display screen shown in FIG. 12 is displayed. When "vertical position" is selected, the window display screen shown in FIG. 13 is displayed.

Then, for example, by selecting "Phase" with the up / down key and displaying the window display screen of FIG. 8, the adjustment value is set while moving the adjustment bar with the up / down key (see FIG. 9). . After selecting the adjustment value, the content of the adjustment is confirmed by the OK key. After a lapse of a predetermined time, a transition is made to the input standby state as shown in FIG. The same applies to other adjustment items, and a description thereof will be omitted.

In FIG. 9, when an adjustment item is selected, the adjustment item can be freely selected by the up / down key until the adjustment item is determined by the OK key. Also,
When the adjustment key is pressed after the adjustment item is selected and the adjustment value is determined, the process returns to the input standby state as shown in FIG.

FIG. 10 is a state transition diagram when a color temperature is selected as an adjustment item. When an OK key is pressed, a window display screen for color temperature adjustment is displayed. In this embodiment, three color temperatures (9300K, 6500K, 5000K)
In this example, four types of adjustment values of “user adjustment” that can be freely set by the user are prepared, and these four types of adjustment values are displayed on the window display screen.

The reason why the two-stage display of "user" and "adjustment" is used in the case of "user adjustment" is to prevent the user from inadvertently adjusting the color temperature to an arbitrary color temperature. In this user adjustment mode, the color temperature can be set for each of R, G, and B. Among them, the color temperature of G serves as a color reference, and it is preferable that the color temperature cannot be adjusted. Therefore, G is locked so that it cannot be adjusted.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, when the item of "adjustment" (screen a) is selected by the up / down key, R, R
A selection screen for G and B (screen b) is displayed, and when the OK key is pressed to select R among them, the screen switches to an adjustment screen (screen c). The color temperature is adjusted using the up / down key in the state of the adjustment screen display.

When the OK key is pressed at the stage when the adjustment value has been set, the color temperature is switched to the adjusted value. As a result, the color of the screen 34 is slightly changed, so that the user sets the optimum color temperature while watching this color.

When the menu key is pressed instead of the OK key, the color temperature of R retains the previous value. The transition to the adjustment screen c cannot be performed on the selection screen b of G. When it is desired to adjust the color temperature of B on the selection screen b of the color temperature of B, the screen may be shifted to the adjustment screen c. If the menu key is pressed while the selection screen b is being displayed, the state transits to the input standby state. If the OK key is pressed while the return selection mark b-1 is selected, the screen returns to the adjustment item display screen a.

According to the present invention, identification can be performed in the case of such an adjustment item having a large number of adjustment values and when it is convenient to memorize the adjustment values set before the adjustment. Is displayed, and the display state of the adjustment value selected by the up / down key is controlled to be different from the display states of the other adjustment values.

A description will be given with reference to FIG. When a color temperature adjustment item is selected on the menu screen, a window display screen as shown in FIG. 14 is displayed.
A screen a as shown in FIG. On this screen a, a plurality of adjustment values are displayed at the center of the screen, and a mark 41 is displayed in front of the display position of the already set adjustment value. The shape of the mark 41 is arbitrary. In the figure, it is a black square. Further, in order to clearly identify the already set adjustment value, its display state is changed from the others. In the figure, the shaded area 41 including the display of the color temperature 9300K
Is highlighted.

When the up / down key, for example, the down key is moved in this state, only the shaded area 41 moves to the next lower color temperature (6500K) to highlight 6500K (FIG. 16). This highlighting makes it clear visually which color temperature has been selected. When the color temperature of 6500K is selected, the color display on the screen a is also 6500K.
Color display. The user sets a desired color temperature while comparing the color with the previous color display. In this case, a desired color temperature is set by repeatedly selecting and comparing several color temperatures with the previously set color temperature. Since the mark 40 is also displayed at the previously set color temperature by the color temperature selection processing, a reference color display and
There is no danger of confusing him with the color display this time.

When the OK key is operated to select a color temperature of 6500K, for example, the mark 40
Moves to mark 4 at 6500K as shown in FIG.
0 is displayed. At the same time, the highlight of the shaded area 41 disappears. By these two processes, the user can visually confirm that the setting of the color temperature has been completed,
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10, the screen returns to the menu screen by pressing the OK key, or shifts to the input standby state by pressing the end key.

Here, the shaded area 41 can be highlighted by displaying it in a color different from the background color of the screen a. As an example of changing the display state of the selected adjustment value, In addition to highlighting, the color temperature itself may be controlled to blink, or the color of the display character of the color temperature itself may be changed.

FIG. 18 shows a case where the present invention is applied to an adjustment item (menu language) in which a language for displaying the adjustment item itself can be selected. When the menu language is configured to be selectable by the user, it is necessary to cover at least six languages assuming world wide. FIG.
8, the user can freely select six languages, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese.

Since there are many languages that can be selected even in the case of such a menu language, it is more convenient to memorize the currently displayed language in some form. Especially in the European region, the languages used have no borders, so it is convenient to clarify which language is based on.

As shown in FIG. 18, when the "menu language" is selected with the OK key as the adjustment item, the display screen is switched to the selection screen a. The language displayed in the selection screen a can be selected by an up / down key. Pressing the up key sequentially selects languages as indicated by a "+" arrow, and pressing the down key sequentially selects languages indicated by a "-" arrow.
Then, mark 40 is displayed at the language selected at the beginning.
Is displayed. In the illustrated example, the mark 40 is displayed before the German word “Gereman”. Then, the character "German" is highlighted. Now press the up key (+ display), "German → English → Japanese → Italy → Spanis
h → French → German → ... ”. If you press the down key (-), “Germ
an → French → Spanish → Italy → Japanese → English → Germa
n → ... ”. As is clear from the display example of the up key, only the position of the highlight displaying the display language portion sequentially moves following the operation of the up key as shown in FIG. This makes it possible to clearly recognize both the previously selected language and the language to be selected. Then, for example, when a new French is selected and determined as a menu language using the OK key, a mark 4 is displayed.
0 is moved to this French position and displayed (broken line display). However, the French highlight disappears.

An embodiment of a display device for realizing such display will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Two computers can be connected to the display device 1 to which the present invention is applied.
