DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display device for displaying a computer data screen and a television camera image in a window.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a workstation or a personal computer has been able to display a television camera image in a window system. Then, the general computer data screen and the television camera image are displayed on the same C
The RT is displayed in a separate window.

[0003] In the above-mentioned work station or the like, a television camera image is usually input from a VIDEO input terminal, and control of the television camera needs to be operated by an operation button, a joystick or the like separately from the operation of the window system.

[0004]

In the above-described conventional display device, the window operation for updating the display of the computer data is different from the operation for updating the display of the television camera image. There is a problem that the user is required to perform different operations, the operability is poor, and the user must learn the different operations. Further, there is a problem that operation buttons and the like for controlling the television camera must be arranged on the operation console.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides a display device capable of handling a television camera image in the same operation format as a window operation for handling ordinary computer data. With the goal.

[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a display apparatus for displaying a window of a television camera image in a window, and an instruction for updating a window-displayed image vertically, horizontally, and horizontally. a television camera control means for outputting to, c of the television image hidden in
Turn on the TV camera by opening the window,
TV camera power control for operating window display means
Means .

[0007] The display device according to the second aspect of the present invention includes the first device.
And a TV camera power control means for shutting off the power of the TV camera by closing a window during TV camera image display.

[0008]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a television camera image is displayed in a window, an instruction to update the display of the image up, down, left, and right is output to the television camera , and the window is opened.
Since the power is supplied to the television camera by the operation , the television camera image can be handled by the same operation as a normal computer data screen.

In the second invention, the power of the television camera is shut off when the window is closed. Therefore, when the window is not displayed, the power of the television camera is shut off.

[0010]

[Embodiment 1] 1 to 4 show one embodiment of the first and second inventions of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram, FIG. 2 is a display screen diagram, and FIGS. 3 and 4 are operation flowcharts. Reference numerals indicate the same parts.

In FIG. 1, (1) is a central controller, (2)
Is a CRT display, (3) is a television camera, (4) is its control device, (5) is an image transmission line for transmitting image data of the television camera (3) to the central control device (1), 6) is a control transmission line for transmitting control information from the central control device (1) to the camera control device (4), and (7) is connected to the central control device (1) and has a display.
A mouse for instructing a display operation or the like in (2), and (7a) and (7b) are a left button and a right button of the mouse (7).

In FIG. 2, (11) is a window for displaying normal computer data, (11a) is a symbol for updating left and right display of computer data, (11b) is a symbol for updating vertical display, and (12) is a television camera. (3) a window for displaying image data, (12a) a symbol for controlling the panning operation of the television camera (3) (operation for controlling the television camera (3) to the left and right), and (12b) a tilt operation (television camera).
Operation for controlling (3) up and down) This is a control symbol.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. First, in step S1, the operation of the mouse (7) is waited. In step S2, it is determined whether the operation is a control operation of the window itself. In the case of window control, in step S3, an operation is performed on the computer data window (11) or the TV camera image data window (1
It is determined whether the operation is for 2).

If it is for computer data, step
Proceeding to S4, an instruction to open or close the window is determined. If it is open, the window (11) is opened in step S5. If it is closed, the window (11) is closed in step S6. Also step
If it is for TV camera image data in S3, the process proceeds to step S7, and an instruction to open or close the window is determined.If the window is open, a power-on command is sent to the TV camera control device (4) in step S8 in the control transmission line (6). Output via). Thereafter, the window (12) is opened in step S9 (window display means).

If the window is closed in step S7, the window (12) is closed in step S10, and
(TV camera power control means) TV camera control device
A power cutoff command is output to (4) via the control transmission line (6).

Next, if it is determined in step S2 that the operation is not the control of the window itself, the process proceeds to step S12, where the position of the mouse (7) is set to the computer data window (11) or the TV camera image window. (12) is determined. If it is for computer data, step S13
To determine whether the instruction symbol is to the left / right display update symbol (11a) or the up / down display update symbol (11b) .If the instruction symbol is the left / right symbol (11a), scroll the display data left and right in step S14. In the case of the upper and lower symbols (11b), the display data is scrolled up and down in step S15.

If the instruction symbol is for a television camera image in step S12, it is determined in step S16 whether the instruction symbol is an instruction for the left / right display update symbol (12a) or an upper / lower display update symbol (12b). I do. In the case of the left and right symbols (12a), a pan operation control instruction is sent to the television camera control device (4) in step S17.
At 18, a tilt operation control instruction is output via the control transmission line (6). Here, steps S17 and S18 constitute TV camera control means.

In step S16, symbols (11a) and (11b)
If (12a) and (12b) are not selected, the process proceeds to step S19, and the button of the mouse (7) is changed to the right button (7b) or the left button (7
a) is determined. If it is the right button (7b), a zoom-in command is issued in step S20, and if it is the left button (7a), step S21
Outputs the zoom-out command to the camera control device (4) via the control transmission line (6).

Embodiment 2 FIG. In the first embodiment, the input of the TV camera image and the control output to the TV camera (3) use the transmission lines (5) and (6), respectively. However, the present invention is not limited to this. , other methods are also accessible capacity.

Embodiment 3 FIG. To control the TV camera (3), use the mouse (7) buttons (7a) (7
It may be operated by continuously pressing b), but the pan and tilt operation control symbols (12a) and (12b) can be controlled at a fixed angle with one click and another constant angle with two clicks. , The operation angle of the television camera (3) may be controlled by operating the mouse (7).

[0021]

As described in the foregoing, in the first aspect of the invention, the television by the TV camera image is windowed and outputs an instruction to display update this image vertically and horizontally to a television camera, and the window opening operation On the camera
Since the power is supplied , the television camera image can be handled by the same operation as a normal computer data screen, and the user can operate without being conscious of the control of the television camera.

Further, in the second invention, when the window is closed, the power of the television camera is shut off. Therefore, when the window is not displayed, the power of the television camera is shut off to prevent unnecessary power consumption. There is an effect that can be done.
