The memory unit 4 comprises a so-called RAM unit and a ROM unit, and in the RAM unit, a telop data storage area in which the telop data is stored (a head address data and a character are included in a leading character etc. of characters constituting the telop). Etc. are added and stored with character position data for arranging on the TV screen), and various areas such as a time storage area for storing the display time for displaying the telop which is input and changed on the keyboard 2 on the TV screen. Is provided. The RAM section is always backed up by the battery 5. Further, the ROM section of the memory section 4 stores a telop processing program to be described later and other various programs necessary for controlling the telop device.

Further, the CPU section 1 has a display changeover switch 6
The display changeover switch 6 is connected to the NTSC signal (television image signal) received by the video changeover section 7 and the RA of the memory section 4 as described above.
The telop data stored in the M portion is superimposed and displayed on the TV screen by superimposing, and the telop mode in which only the telop is displayed on the TV screen is selectively switched.

Further, a video switching section 7 is connected to the CPU section 1, and the video switching section 7 functions as a receiving section for receiving an NTSC signal. Based on the switching signal from the display changeover switch 6, the CPU According to the command signal issued from the part 1, the NTSC signal is at the video level (the NTSC signal from the external device as it is or the level at which the NTSC signal is accepted from the video camera etc.) and 0 level (the level at which the NTSC signal from the external device etc. is not accepted) To switch to. The television video signal output from the video switching unit 7 is clamped by the clamp unit 8 to have its level fixed, and further amplified by the amplifying unit 9 and then input to the superimposing unit 10. Further, the TV video signal from the video switching unit 7 is separated by the sync separating unit 11 and the separated sync signal is input to the superimposing unit 10.

The superimposing section 10 connected to the CPU section 1 synchronizes with the sync signal output from the sync separating section 11 based on a command signal from the CPU section 1, and the video switching section 7 and the clamp section 8 are provided. , Superimposes the NTSC signal input via the amplification unit 9 and the telop data stored in the RAM unit of the memory unit 4 with each other. At this time, under the control of the CPU unit 1, the telop data stored in the telop data storage area of the RAM unit of the memory unit 4 is read out, and the superimposing unit 10 uses the telop data as a character portion (character A character corresponding to the telop data is created from the generator 12 and the character is superimposed on the NTSC signal.
The NTSC signal and the telop data superimposed in the superimposing unit 10 are
After being amplified by the amplifier 13, it is displayed on the screen of the television 14. The display time of the telop at the time of such display is clocked according to the time data input from the keyboard 2 and stored in the time storage area of the RAM section of the memory section 4 as described above.

When the NTSC signal does not exist (at this time, the NTSC signal is switched to 0 level by the video switching section 7 via the CPU section 1), the synchronizing signal is internally set as described later. The text and the like created as described above are displayed on the screen of the television 14 in synchronization with the created sync signal.

Next, the operation of the telop device configured as described above will be described. First, when a telop is to be displayed on the screen of the television 14, telop data (character data of a letter or the like) including a desired character or the like is input via the keyboard 2 and stored in the telop data storage area of the memory unit 4. Alternatively, the telop data is serially transmitted from the host computer via the communication unit 3 and stored in the telop data storage area of the memory unit 4.
At this time, the telop data is stored in the telop data storage area of the memory unit 4 with the head address data and the character position data being added to the leading character or the like of the characters or the like forming the telop. The head address data serves as an index for dividing each telop when there are a plurality of telops. Also, via the keyboard 2, the display time data for displaying the telop on the screen of the television 14 is input. The display time data is stored in the time storage area of the memory unit 4.

Thereafter, the display changeover switch 6 is changed over to the superimpose mode or the telop mode.
Based on the switching signal (superimpose mode switching signal) from the display switching switch 6, the CPU unit 1 outputs N
The video switching unit 7 is switched to a state in which the TSC signal can be received. As a result, the NTSC signal is input from the clamp unit 8 and the amplification unit 9 to the superimposing unit 10 via the video switching unit 7. Further, from the NTSC signal output from the clamp unit 8, only the sync signal is extracted by the sync separation unit 11, and the sync signal is input to the superimposing unit 10. When the display changeover switch 6 is used to switch to the telop mode, the NTSC signal is not input to the superimposing section 10, and as a result, only the telop is displayed on the screen of the television 14 as described later. The Rukoto.

At the same time, the CPU section 1 reads out the telop data from the telop data storage area of the memory section 4 based on the switching signal (superimpose mode switching signal) from the cover sheet changeover switch 6 and reads it. The telop data is output to the superimposing unit 10. In the superimposing section 10, the CPU
Based on the telop data input from the unit 1, the characters and the like that form the telop are created from the character unit 12, and the created characters and the like and the amplification unit 9 are synchronized with the synchronization signal from the sync separation unit 11. NT input
Superimpose with the SC signal.

The telop processing performed in superimposing section 10 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 2, step (hereinafter abbreviated as S) 1
In, the pulse width in the horizontal signal HS for television supply is set, and similarly, in S2, the pulse width in the vertical signal VS for television supply is set. After this, it is determined in S3 whether the NTSC signal is present.

When the NTSC signal does not exist in S3 (when the NTSC signal is not input from the amplifying unit 9 and the determination in S3 is NO), the horizontal directions set in S1 and S2 are set in S4. A synchronization signal is created based on the pulse widths of the signal and the vertical signal (S4), and the process proceeds to S5. On the other hand, when the NTSC signal is present (when the NTSC signal is input from the amplification unit 9, S3
Since the NTSC signal itself includes the synchronization signal, the process immediately proceeds to S5.

In S5, the telop data is designated based on the head address data stored in the telop data storage area of the memory unit 4, and in S6, characters and the like are displayed on the screen of the television 14 based on the character position data. The position to place is specified. Further, in S7, the character to be arranged at the arrangement position such as the character specified in S6 is specified.
After that, in S8, it is determined whether or not the designation of all the characters and the like in the telop data designated in S5 and their character positions have been completed. This judgment is made based on whether or not there is a head address added to the head character or the like in the next telop data. When all characters and the like and the character position of the specified telop data have been specified (S8: YES), the characters and the like created in cooperation with the character unit 12 based on the telop data are the NTSC signal. After being superimposed, the output is output on the screen of the television 14 via the amplifier 13 (S9). In S8, if the designation of all characters and their character positions has not been completed (S8: NO), the process returns to S6 and the processes of S6 and S7 are performed for the next character and the like.

Further, in S10, the time for displaying the characters or the like forming the telop on the screen of the television 14 is timed based on the display time data stored in the time storage area of the memory unit 4, At the time when the display time is counted up, the display of telop characters and the like is stopped (S11). Succeedingly, in S12, the head address data added to the next telop data stored in the telop data storage area of the memory unit 4 is searched, and the next telop data added with the head address data is designated. After that, the process returns to S6 in order to perform the same process as described above. In this way, the telop data stored in the telop data storage area of the memory unit 4 is sequentially designated, and the NTS is displayed on the screen of the television 14.
It is displayed together with the C signal.

When the telop mode is switched through the display changeover switch 6, since the NTSC signal is not input to the superimposing section 10, only the telop characters are displayed on the screen of the television 14. In such a case, S1, S2, S3 (S
3: NO), and only the characters of the telop and the like are displayed at a predetermined position on the screen of the television 14 through S4 to S9.

As described above in detail, in the telop device according to this embodiment, the telop data input from the keyboard 2 or the communication unit 3 is stored in the telop data storage area of the memory unit 4 together with the head address data and the character position data. At the same time, based on the superimpose mode switching signal from the display changeover switch 6, the NTSC signal is input to the superimposing section 10 via the video switching section 7, the clamp section 8 and the amplifying section 9, and also the superimposing Character section 1 based on telop data in section 10
Since the telop characters and the like created via 2 and the NTSC signal are superposed and simultaneously output on the screen of the television 14 in synchronization with the sync signal from the sync separation unit 11, they are generally installed permanently. You can use your television device to display telops for advertising.
As a result, the telop for advertisement can be displayed on the screen of the television 14 at low cost without requiring any installation space. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it goes without saying that various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
