Abstract

PURPOSE:To reproduce data without monopolying a telephone line by providing pattern number data RAM storing a start address at each taken-in pattern data and pattern data RAM storing corresponding pattern data from the start address stored in the pattern number data RAM. CONSTITUTION:A remote controller 27 or a keyboard is used to depress a prescribed pattern number key. For example, when information of weather forecast of No.25 is retrieved, the keys are depressed in the order of '*', '2', '5', '#' then a head address of the pattern data RAM 11 is stored in pattern number data RAM 10, the pattern data is taken-in from the address corresponding to the RAM 11 sequentially and the result is subjected to image processing and displayed on a CRT. Similarly, after the data up to n-th data is stored sequentially, an end key is depressed, (n+1)-th data is stored and a telephone line is released. Thus, even after the telephone line is released, the data is read and reproduced for many times.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Field of Industrial Application" The present invention relates to a captain terminal device that stores captain information sent to a telephone line by dividing it into screens.

``Prior art'' To obtain captain information using a captain's terminal, a request is made to the captain's information center for the desired screen using an uplink signal over a telephone line, and in accordance with this request, the desired screen data is sent via a downlink signal over the same telephone line. This was then played back as images and audio on the captain's terminal.

``Problem to be Solved by the Invention'' Since the captain's transmission and reception uses a telephone line, when the captain wishes to use the telephone line for a normal call, the captain's transmission and reception must be temporarily interrupted.

Also, when I try to import the captain's signal into memory, 1
Since there is no identification signal that indicates the division of the screen, it cannot be memorized as it is, and even if it is memorized, the screen cannot be identified, so there are problems such as there is no division and it is extremely troublesome to find the desired screen. there were.

The present invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, and the screen number data is sent to the line as the captain's uplink signal by the keyboard or remote control, and the captain information is sent to the line. is captured and stored in a screen data RAM, and displayed on a CRT, in which there is a screen number data RAM that stores the start address of each captured screen data, and a start address stored in this screen number data RAM. It is equipped with a screen data RAM that stores screen data corresponding to an address, and a CPU that issues image processing commands and screen data storage commands.

"Operation" Press the specified screen number key on the remote control or keyboard. For example, when trying to view weather forecast information for number 25, the keys are pressed in the order of r*, r2 Jr5, and r ttJ. Then, by pressing the "#" key, the first address of the screen data RAM is stored in the screen number data RAM, and the screen data is sequentially imported from the corresponding address into the screen data RAM, and further image processing is performed. displayed on the CRT.

Next, when you want to see the information on news number 12, press the keys in the order of r*JrlJr2Jr#J. Then, by pressing r#J, the second address is stored after the first screen data in the screen number data RAM, and the screen data is also stored after the first screen data in the screen data RAM. and further displayed on the CRT. After sequentially storing the data up to the nth data in the same manner, when the end key is pressed, the screen number data of n+1 is stored and the telephone line is disconnected. "+" when playing
When you press the key, the data from the first address to just before the second address is CR
Immediately display on T. Furthermore, if you press the "+" key, 2
The data from the second address to just before the third address is displayed on the CRT. Press the "-" key to go back and display the previous data. In other words, you can use the remote control or keyboard to input the termination code (#) as an upstream signal.
) and the next terminator code (#) are sequentially stored in the screen data memory as one screen data. This allows the data to be read out and played back many times even after the telephone line is turned off.

"Example" Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

(1) is a captain signal or call signal input terminal from a telephone line, and (2) is a connection terminal to a telephone set. N CU (Netzork Con) is connected to the input terminal (1).
trolIJnit, ) (3), a modem (modulation/demodulation circuit) (4), and a path line (6) via an interface (5).

(7) is an image processing CPU;
(7) includes a program ROM (8) that stores the captain processing program via the pass line (6), a screen data RAM (11) that stores the captain screen data input from the input terminal (1), and a fixed number of Screen number data RAM (

The image processing CPU (7) also includes an interrupt circuit (1).
7) is coupled to the printer interface (14).
) is connected to an external device printer (18), and the remote control and melody processing CPU (15) is connected to a buffer data RAM (19) and an FM sound source circuit (20).
) is combined, and this FM sound source circuit (20) is a D A C
(21) to the TV interface (22).

A V-RAM (23) is coupled to the CRTC (16), and the TV interface (22) and R
A GB encoder (24) is connected to the TV interface, and TV connection terminals (25) and (26) are connected to the TV interface.

The remote control and melody processing CPU (15)
A light receiving section (28) of a remote control (27) is coupled to the remote control (27).

The operation of the circuit configuration as described above will be explained.

Press a predetermined screen number key using the key top of the remote control (27). For example, when trying to view information on monthly weather report No. 25, the keys are pressed in the order of r*Jr2Jr5JrLJ. Then, by pressing the "#" key,
Telephone line input terminal (1) to N CU (3), modem (4), interface (5), pass line (6)
The screen data is stored in RAM (11) via .

As shown in Figure 2, the start address (a) of the screen data RAM (11) is stored in the screen number data RAM (10), and from the corresponding address (a) in the screen data RAM (11) Screen data is sequentially captured, further image processed, and displayed on a CRT. Next, for example, 1
When you want to see the information on news number 2, type ``*
Press the keys in the following order: ``rl'' r2Jr tt J. Then, by pressing "#", the screen number data RAM
The second address (b) is stored after the first screen number data in (10), and the screen data is also stored after the first screen data in screen data RAM (11). Is displayed. After sequentially storing the data up to the nth data in the same manner, when the "end" key is pressed, the screen number data of the n+1th screen number is stored and the telephone line is disconnected.

In this way, each time the captain information is input through the telephone line, it is stored in the screen number data RAM (10) and the screen data RAM (11).

When the "+" key is pressed during playback, the data from the first address to just before the second address is immediately displayed on the CRT without having to be downloaded over the telephone line. Furthermore, r+”
When the key is pressed, the data from the second address to just before the third address is displayed on the CRT. Pressing the "-" key displays the previous page's data.

Next, in the above embodiment, the screen number data RAM (10)
In this embodiment, only the start address of each program data is sequentially stored, but together with the start address, screen number data, for example, in the above embodiment, "*" r2jr5Jr
When pressing tt J, "2" and "5" may also be stored at the same time. If such screen number data is also stored, if the same number data is already stored in the screen number data RAM (10), it can be prevented from being stored redundantly.
Instead of flipping through pages one by one with the J or "-" key, r * Jr2Jr5Jr
# You can quickly cue up by pressing J. In addition, program number data RAM (10) and program data RA
In M(11), the number of selections may be accumulated and a certain number may be stored in order from the program with the highest frequency.

"Effect of the Invention J Since the present invention is configured as described above, when captain information is input, it can be stored, so that it can be played from the second time without dedicating a telephone line.
