JPH02112396A - Video tape recorder having background color generating function - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operability of a video tape recorder by providing a means to change a background color corresponding to the set day of the week when time set and reservation set is executed by using character signal generating function and to change an operation set selecting menu to the background color of that date. CONSTITUTION:When the information of timer reservation start are sent from a main body key or an operation unit 4 such as a remote controller, etc., a microcomputer 1 operates character signal generating function 2 and displays characters on a monitor 7. Simultaneously, an internal/external synchronous changeover switch 5, which is housed in the character signal generating function, is switched to an internal part. Then, the background color of the monitor 7 is changed by varying a phase angle to the color burst of the character signal generating function 2. Thus, for example, when the color of at the time of no-signal, menu display or reservation set is unified according to the day of the week, in each condition, it can be clearly informed a user what day of the week the day is or the change of the date, etc. Accordingly, the operability of the VTR can be improved.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a video tape recorder C (hereinafter referred to as VTE).
The present invention relates to a character signal generator, and provides suitable means for improving operability.

[Conventional technology]

In this example, in addition to the timer reservation, the characters are displayed using the character code function to make a reservation, and the feature is 5 moves, but in the present invention, the characters are simply displayed when setting the timer reservation. In addition to this, the background color of the red lantern can be changed depending on the day of the week, which improves the accuracy of timer reservation. Incidentally, related devices of this type include, for example, % Kai Sui] 5-t55452.
I.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In the above-mentioned prior art, when setting a timer reservation, the day of the week is displayed in blank letters. The purpose is to improve the operation of timer reservation setting by φ indicating.

[Take steps to solve problems]

The above purpose is as shown in Figure 1. To explain, this can be achieved by the controller 1 transmitting each control data to the computer 21. Each control data is serially transferred from the microcomputer 1 in order to control the color burst, K1 pair, and phase angle of the internal/external changeover switch, and six ifi'J controls for character display. The received character generation area displays the characters on the monitor 7,
The background color for each day of the week is shown below along with Figure 1.

When the information to start timer reservation is received from the main unit 4 such as Honza KEY% or remote controller, the microcomputer 1 operates the character code generation unit 2,
Characters are displayed on the monitor 7. At the same time, the letter No. 1 is stored in the mind. P3 part outside and outside same kankiriho switch 5? The background color of the monitor 7 is changed by switching to Il' and by varying the phase angle with respect to the color burst of the character gI generation model dragon 2.

[laughing example]

Hereinafter, an example of a one-time disaster according to the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In FIG. 1, when the information displayed on the microcomputer 1 home menu is input from the operation unit (that is, when the user presses the menu button on the main unit or remote control), the microcomputer 1 displays the character name generation function 27a1. ' to display a menu as shown in FIG. 2 on the monitor 7. At this time, the background color of the menu changes depending on the day of the week on which the operation is being performed. Second, when the user selects timer recording from the menu, a timer reservation setting state is entered. The background color at this time changes according to the set day of the week for the reservation. By doing so*, users can be reliably informed of date changes, leading to improved operability.

Additionally, the day of the week can be announced by changing the color of the text, which is different from the background color, and at this time, it is also possible to output a video image as a background.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, depending on the day of the week, the number of F#j-? .

By changing the color when displaying a menu or revising a reservation, you can clearly tell the user whether it is today, what date it is, or whether there is a change in date, etc.
F) Effective in improving operability.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. Setting the background color when setting the time or setting a reservation using a means for changing the background color when there is no video signal depending on the day of the week and a character signal generation function. In addition, if you use a means to change the operation setting selection menu to the background color of the day of the week and a character signal generation function to imboss characters on the monitor screen, the color of the characters changes to the background color of the day of the week. 1. A videotape recorder having a background color generation function, characterized in that it is provided with means for changing the background color accordingly.
