Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (a) Industrial Application Field The present invention is applicable to domestic electrical equipment such as cooking machines such as microwave ovens, air conditioners, and televisions. Related to home controllers that centrally process information from various sensors such as crime prevention monitoring devices, fire detectors, and rain detectors, and display the processing status on a color screen. Home controllers with various additional functions have been proposed. Specifically, as mentioned above, it is capable of centrally controlling and monitoring electrical equipment in the home, or, as a slightly more sophisticated model, has functions such as message storage and recall, and household accounting functions.

The core of such a home controller is a CRT display device that can display the input status and processing status of various information, and a keyboard that can input information and various commands. The CRT display device may be dedicated to a home controller or may be a device used in a television receiver, but it usually has a color display function.

Since the home controller performs the monitoring operation 7 as described above, it is always energized, and naturally the CRT
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the display device displays the current time, temperature, timer setting status, etc. T1w, which indicates that a monitoring operation is in progress. -Since this CRT display device is placed in the kitchen or entryway where many people come and go, its display color also becomes an important accent to the interior of the home. However, since the display colors on a CRT display device are set by a program, it is impossible for the user to select the display colors.

(c) Purpose of the Invention The present invention allows the background color to be selected on the CR7 display screen.

(b) Structure of the Invention The present invention is characterized by the addition of a background setting means for selecting a background color using a manual, regardless of the display color determined by the program.

(E) Embodiment FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the water controller, in which C is the system bus, (2) is the keyboard, (3) is the output control board, and 141 is the voice or melody controller. A sound device that emits alarm sounds.

(5) is a clock circuit such as a timer or clock, and (6) is a memory, which is comprised of a ROM that stores programs and a RAM that stores data and the like. (7) is external memory and external memory controller (8)? 0 (9) is a dynamic memory access controller that is connected to the system bus 111 via an external memory controller (8).

(f) Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description, the present invention can be installed by manually operating the background color setting key of the CRT display screen, The background color of the CRT display screen can be selected to suit the needs of the user, and can serve as an important accent to the interior of the home, as well as allowing the operator to select the desired color. In addition, the selection of the background color is done completely independently of the program, and the color can be easily changed without the need to change the contents of the program, thereby increasing the versatility of the system.
