Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily confirm a set channel at low cost by displaying all channel numbers, and displaying the set channel in a different color from other channels when confirming the setting time of channel and the succeeding time. CONSTITUTION:When the mode of a microcomputer is made to be a channel number write mode, at first, all the channel numbers are displayed on a screen and the set channel is displayed in a different color from the other channels. And the channel which is selected then is in a flashing state, and setting or releasing becomes possible. In order to execute the setting or the releasing in the state, the respective signals are transmitted to the microcomputer. After the microcomputer alters the setting state, it outputs a displayed color according to the state. Then the setting operation as for one channel is completed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a display method for a video device such as a television receiver, and particularly to display of channel numbers thereof.

[Conventional technology]

Figure 2 is a flowchart of channel number setting performed by a channel selection microcomputer used in a conventional video display method, such as Mitsubishi Electric's video logictor VS-407H. 4I-j is the process of the microcomputer, and 4I-j is the process of the screen display circuit.

Next, the operation of setting a channel number in the video device will be explained. To set the microcomputer for selecting all channels that the user wants to watch, first, the microcomputer mode is set to channel number writing mode (step 100). Then, if the currently selected channel is not set, the channel number will blink and
If it is set, it will be lit. Then, in step 101, if you want to cancel the settings or newly set the settings that have not been set, send each signal to the microcomputer, and the microcomputer changes the settings and then changes the settings according to the settings. outputs a signal so that the display lights up or flashes. This completes the setting operation for one channel. Next, the setting operation for other channels is performed by selecting another channel in step 103 and performing the setting operation in the same manner as the above setting operation. If the setting operation is completed in step 102, step 1
Proceed to step 04 to cancel the channel number writing mode.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

As described above, in the display method of a conventional video device, when in the 1 channel number writing mode, the only distinction was that the channel number display lights up for channels that have been set, and flashes for channels that have not been set. Therefore, if you want to check which channel is set during or after setting, you have to go to the trouble of selecting that channel with the channel selection switch. The problem was that I couldn't see it.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a display method for a video device in which it is possible to see which channel is set with a glance.

[Means for solving problems]

The display method of the video device according to the present invention displays the numbers of all channels when setting channels and when checking after setting, and displays set channel numbers in a different color from channel numbers that are not set. This is how it was done.

[Effect]

In this invention, since the number of the set channel is displayed in a different color from other channel numbers, the set channel can be easily confirmed.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the channel number setting operation of a television receiver as a display method of a video device according to an embodiment of the present invention. be.

In the display method of such a video device, the channel number setting operation first sets the microcomputer mode to channel number writing mode in step 200.

Then, all channel numbers will be displayed on the screen, and the channels that are set will be displayed in a different color from the channels that are not set. Therefore, you can know at a glance which channel is set. Also, the currently selected channel will be in a blinking state and can be set or canceled. To perform setting or cancellation in this state, each signal is sent to the microcomputer. After changing the setting state in step 201, the microcomputer outputs a display color according to the setting state. This completes the setting operation for one channel. For other channels, another channel is selected in step 203 and the same setting operation as described above is performed.

When the setting operation is completed in step 202, the process advances to step 204 and the channel number writing mode is canceled.

Although the above embodiment describes a television receiver, the present invention is not limited to this, and the same effects as in the above embodiment can be achieved with other video-related equipment having a plurality of channels.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, all channel numbers are displayed when setting and checking channels, and the number of the set channel is displayed in a different color from other channel numbers. This has the advantage that channel numbers can be displayed on the screen and the set channels can be confirmed easily and inexpensively without the need for other operations.
