Abstract

PURPOSE:To present good operation by calculating operations, whose frequency in use is high, in each time zone and always putting these operations in the first displayed menu. CONSTITUTION:When a menu is not displayed on the picture and a remote control signal is inputted in this state, a select item control means 10 selects a menu 1 from incorporated menus and instructs a display device 20 to display it. Options for operation and choices for switching to another menu are registered in the menu: and when a choice for operation is selected, the frequency in selection and the selection time are stored in a storage means 30 correspondingly to this choice, and its operation is performed. After the completion of a series of operations, frequencies of choices at the time obtained by a present time calculating means 50 are obtained in accordance with frequencies stored in the means 30 by a choice control means 40, and choices are transposed in accordance with these frequencies to register menus 1 to (n) again in the frequency order.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a television receiver with interactive operation.

Conventional technology In recent years, as the number of functions on television receivers has increased, the operations have become more complex, and the number of selection options (hereinafter referred to as menus) has increased.
Improvements have been made to the operability, such as displaying the information on the screen and allowing interactive operation using the remote control.

An example of a conventional television receiver will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 10 denotes a selection item control means that contains a plurality of menus and instructs to display the menu or performs a predetermined operation on a selection within the displayed menu in response to a remote control signal. Reference numeral 20 denotes a display device that displays a menu on the screen according to instructions from the selection item control means 10.

Regarding the television receiver configured as above,
The operation will be explained below.

First, when a remote control signal is input while no menu is displayed on the screen, the selection item control means 10 selects menu 1 from the built-in menus and instructs the display device 20 to display it. Normally, menu 1 stores frequently operated operations and instructions for moving to other menus. When an operation option is selected, the operation continues as is, and when another menu is selected, the built-in menu is displayed. The user instructs the display device 20 to display the corresponding menu from among the menus. This allows operations to be performed interactively with the user.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above configuration, the selections in the menu are always fixed, so operations other than those registered in Menu 1 can only be performed after selecting multiple menus. However, since there is no such thing, there is a problem in that the number of operating procedures increases.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a television receiver with good operation.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the television receiver of the present invention includes a current time calculation means for calculating the current time from a reference clock, and a current time calculation means for calculating the current time from a reference clock. a selection status storage means for storing whether a selection has been made; and selection items across a plurality of operation groups based on the frequency of selections stored in the selection status storage means that are aggregated on a time-by-time basis and correspond to the current time. It is equipped with a selection control means for changing the arrangement.

Effect of the Invention With the above-described configuration, the present invention can calculate frequently used operations by time, change the selections in the menu across multiple menus, and always place the frequently used operations in the menu that appears first. Can provide good operation.

Embodiment Hereinafter, a television receiver according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a selection item control means which contains a plurality of menus and instructs to display the menu or performs a predetermined operation on a selection within the displayed menu in response to a remote control signal. Reference numeral 20 denotes a display device that displays a menu on the screen according to instructions from the selection item control means 10. 30
is a storage means for storing the number and time of the item selections detected by the selection item control means IO for each item. Reference numeral 40 denotes a selection control means that rearranges the selections of each menu in the selection item control means 10 according to the frequency of selection items stored in the storage means 30 by time.

Reference numeral 50 denotes a current time calculation means for obtaining the current time from a reference clock and a preset time.

Regarding the television receiver configured as above,
Let's explain its operation.

First, when a remote control signal is input while no menu is displayed on the screen, the selection item control means 10 selects menu 1 from the built-in menus and instructs the display device 20 to display it. The menu has registered options for operations and options for moving to other menus.
When an operation option is selected, the number of times it was selected and the time are stored in the storage means 30 for each option, and the operation is performed. When another menu is selected, the corresponding menu is displayed on the display device from among the built-in menus. Display instructions are given to 20.

When the series of operations is completed, the selection control means 40 calculates the current time calculation means 50 from the frequency stored in the storage means 30.
The frequency near the current time obtained by is calculated, and the options are rearranged according to the frequency and reregistered from menu 1 to menu n in order of frequency.

As described above, the current time calculation means 50 calculates the current time from the reference clock, and the selection status storage means 3 stores the current time and which selection has been made each time the selection is made.
0, and a selection control means 40 that aggregates the frequency of selections stored in the selection status storage means 30 in units of time and changes the arrangement of selection items across a plurality of operation groups according to the frequency corresponding to the current time. Therefore, frequently used operations are always in Menu 1 and can be executed with the shortest operation.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided a current time calculation means that calculates the current time from a reference clock, and a selection status memory that stores the current time and which selection has been made each time the selection is made. and a selection control means that aggregates the frequency of selections stored in the selection status storage means in units of time and changes the selection items across a plurality of operation groups according to the frequency corresponding to the current time. It is possible to provide an operation means that allows frequently executed operations to be executed in the shortest possible time.
