Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To select the channels in a short time and in a small number of key operations by decreasing the number of input digits of channel selection in response to a small number of TV programs to be selected. SOLUTION: The numeric character of the key inputted by a key input operation (1) is decided and a numeric character is set at the position of 100 in a 100-position setting step (6) as long as there are 100 or more channels (4) with the numeric character of the 1st digit (2). Then the input waiting time is set for the numeric character of the 2nd digit in the 2nd digit input preparation step (9). If 100 or more channels are not available, a numeric character is set at the position of 100 in a 10-position setting step (7) as long as it is decided that 100 or more channels are available in a decision step of 10 or more channels (5). Then the input waiting time is set for the numeric character of the 3rd digit in a 3rd digit input preparation step (10). If 10 or more channels are not available, a channel of a single digit is selected for the input numeric character in a CH selection step (8). A numeric character is set at the position of 10 in the step (7) as long as 10 or more channel are available with the numeric character of the 2nd digit. Then the input waiting time is set for the numeric character of the 3rd digit in the step (10). If 10 or more channels are not available, a channel of a single digit is selected for the input numeric character in the step (8). A channel is selected by the input numeric character for the 3rd digit.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a television receiver having a channel plan of 100 or more and a device for selecting with 10 keys.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, television receivers having 100 or more channel plans are being developed.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a flowchart of a conventional television receiver having 100 or more channel plans.

In FIG. 2, the channel plan is 100.
When there is more than one, the channel is usually selected by inputting a 3-digit number. The key input 11 is used to determine the number of the 10 key. It is determined whether the input number is the first digit, the second digit, or the third digit by the first digit discrimination 12 and the second digit discrimination 13. 100 for the first digit
A number is set to the 100's place in the place set 106. In the second digit input preparation 109, the waiting time for inputting the second digit is set. In the case of the second digit, the numeral is set in the tens place in the tens place set 107. 3rd digit input preparation 110 3
Set the waiting time for inputting the first digit. In the case of the third digit number, the channel of the three-digit number input in the channel selection channel 108 is selected. In the waiting time 111, the second digit, 3
When the digit input waiting time is completed, the current input 1
Select the channel with the second digit.

[0005]

However, in the above configuration, when selecting a 1-digit or 2-digit channel even if there are no channels of 10 or more and 100 or more, the key is input three times. You have to enter a 1-digit or 2-digit key and wait for a while.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a television receiver capable of selecting a channel with a small number of key operations and a short time.

[0007]

In order to achieve this object, the television receiver of the present invention has a configuration capable of selecting one or two digits when there are no more than 10 or 100 or more channels. are doing.

[0008]

With the above structure, the number of channels is 10 or more and 10 or more.
When there are no more than 0, you can select a channel with few key inputs,
No waiting time is required.

[0009]

Embodiment 1 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of channel selection of a television receiver according to an embodiment of the present invention. The number of the key input by key input 1 is determined. If the entered number is the first digit 2 or the second digit 3
Determine if it is a digit. In the case of the number in the first digit, 100 or more determination 4 determines whether or not 100 or more channels exist.
If it is determined that there are 100 or more channels, a number is set in the 100s digit in the 100s digit set 6. In the second digit input preparation 9, the waiting time for inputting the second digit is set. If it is judged that there is no channel, it is judged whether there are 10 or more channels in judgment 10 or more. If it is determined that there are 10 or more channels, a digit is set in the 10's place in the 10's place set 7. In the third digit input preparation 10, the waiting time for inputting the third digit is set. If it is determined that there is no channel, the one-digit channel of the number input in CH channel selection 8 is selected. In the case of the second digit, it is determined whether there are 10 or more channels in the 10 or more determination 5 field. If it is determined that there are 10 or more channels, a digit is set in the 10's place in the 10's place set 7. In the third digit input preparation 10, the waiting time for inputting the third digit is set. If it is determined that there is no channel, the one-digit channel of the number input in CH channel selection 8 is selected. In the case of the third digit, the channel selected by the number input in the channel tuning 8 is selected. When the waiting time for inputting the second digit and the third digit is completed in the time waiting 11, the current input number is selected. As a result, when 100 or more channels do not exist, two key inputs can be used for channel selection, and when 10 or more channels do not exist, one key input can be selected.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, 10
In an area where the above channels or 100 or more channels do not exist, it is possible to select a channel by inputting 1 digit or 2 digits without inputting 3 digits.
