242a: Congratulations Message Memory

The present invention relates to a method of displaying a congratulatory message on a TV with a built-in video cycle, and more particularly, to display a congratulatory message on a monitor and to play music corresponding to it on a day such as a birthday, a sixtieth birthday, or a promotion. A greeting message display method using a built-in television. In general, a television can receive a video signal and an audio signal at the same time by receiving a radio signal transmitted from a broadcasting station, and an external signal input terminal is provided for introducing a video and audio signal from an external device. Video and audio signals from video cameras, camcorders and video accompaniment devices can be monitored by CRT and speakers.

Therefore, the user can select and watch the video and audio signals input through the television signal or the external signal input terminal using the operation button or the remote controller installed in the television. On the other hand, the video accompaniment device that is rapidly developed and marketed is a device for displaying lyrics along with song accompaniment by connecting to a TV monitor, and an LD image accompaniment system using a laser disc player and a CDG image accompaniment using a cassette disc graphic player. It is divided into computer accompaniment system using system and memory. By the way, LD video accompaniment system using laser disc player has the best image and sound quality than any sound source, but since only 30 songs are contained on one laser disc, JUKE BOX is used to service a large amount of songs. A disk changer such as

In addition, the CDG video accompaniment system can provide the same sound quality as a laser disc, but provides only a limited number of still picture information recorded in a sub-code channel of a compact disc. In addition to a decrease in the connection between the music and the music, since the number of songs contained on the compact disc is limited to about 15 songs, there is a disadvantage in that a disc changer is required as in a system using a laser disc player. On the other hand, the computer accompaniment system cannot provide the same sound quality as the accompaniment system using a laser disc player and a compact disc graphic player, but it can provide a large amount of accompaniment information and lyrics information about 1,000 to 1500 songs. There is an advantage that the selection can be made at high speed, which will be described schematically with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a computer accompaniment apparatus using a memory, which provides a stereo accompaniment signal and lyrics information and is used in connection with a general monitor and an audio amplifier. Referring to FIG. 1, when a specific song is selected by the command input unit 1 and an accompaniment start command is input, the control unit 2 controls the accompaniment signal generator 3 to generate an accompaniment signal of the specified song. To do that. At the same time, the controller 2 controls the text signal generator 4 to generate lyrics information of a specified song. The voice signal input through the voice input unit 5 is synthesized with the accompaniment signal by the synthesizer 6 and then provided to the audio amplifier through the audio output terminal, and the output of the text signal generator 4 is provided to the monitor so that the user You can sing along with the accompaniment. However, the computer accompaniment device requires a separate monitor and an amplifier in order to effectively monitor the accompaniment signal and the lyrics signal. In other words, the user had to purchase or handle two devices separately. In addition, since the computer image accompaniment apparatus is equipped with a command input unit, the user has to operate the television receiver separately in addition to the operation of the image accompaniment apparatus, thereby causing inconvenience. In order to solve the above problems, Korean Patent Application No. 93-3422 by the present applicant discloses a system in which an image accommodating device and a television are integrated to increase convenience in use. It will be described schematically with reference. 2 is a schematic block diagram of a TV with built-in video semi-period, which is classified into a video-related system and a voice-related system. Also, when performing a function of a TV and an image accompaniment device, a channel for receiving a background image is selected. Adjust the volume of the sound to be output. When performing the function of the video accompaniment device, the user selects a song to be sung, adjusts the pitch and speed, and sets a reservation according to the requirements.

Especially in the video accompaniment mode, the audio signal is provided only by the video accompaniment device, but the video signal is provided by one of a broadcast signal of a selected channel formed by a television, an externally provided signal, and a graphic signal generated by the video accompaniment signal generator. By doing so, it is possible to provide a lively video corresponding to the contents of the song. First, in operation of the video signal system, a broadcast signal (RF signal) input to the tuner 12 through the antenna 10 is converted into an intermediate frequency signal (IF signal) and input to the demodulator 14. The IF signal input to the demodulator 14 is formed of a composite video signal (CVS) and an audio signal (L / R) and input to the television signal selector 16. The television signal selector 16 also receives signals from the outside. That is, signals V1 and V2 at the first and second video signal sources (not shown) and signals S-V at the VHS signal source (not shown) are input. The luminance signal Y S including the synchronization signal separated by the luminance / color signal separator 18 is input to one side input of the first selector 20, and the color signal C is input to the color demodulator 22. On the other hand, as the other input of the first selector 20, the pseudo sync signal PS generated by the image accompaniment signal generator 24 is input. The signal Y S or PS selected by the first selector 20 is input to the color demodulator 22. On the other hand, when the super VHS signal S-V is selected by the television signal selector 16, it is directly input to the color demodulator 22 and the first selector 20 without passing through the luminance / color signal separator 18. The first selector 20 is controlled by the graphic mode signal G generated by the image accompaniment signal generator 24. When the graphic mode signal G is high, the image accompaniment signal generator 24, the pseudo synchronous signal PS is selected and outputted, and in the case of LOW, the video signal from the television signal selector 10 is selected and outputted. The color signal C and the luminance signal Y S input to the color tone unit 22 are demodulated into the color difference signals R-Y, B-Y, G-Y, and -Y, and are input to the image signal synthesizing unit 26. The synchronization signal H / V extracted from the luminance signal Y S including the composite synchronization signal is provided to the image accompaniment signal generator 24 and the controller 28. The OSD (On Screen Display) signal applied from the control unit 28 to the color demodulator 22 is combined with the demodulated color difference signal and output.

As another input of the image synthesizing section 26, a graphic signal and a text signal R, G, B, and BLK from the image accommodating signal generator are input and synthesized with a color difference signal provided from the color demodulation section 22 to form a cathode ray tube ( CRT) is output to the driver 30. In this case, the control unit 28 applies the blanking signal BLK and the blanking signal BLK from the image accompaniment signal generator 24 to the image signal synthesizing unit 26 to display the OSD signal and the image. The priority is set in the order of the graphic signal, the text signal in the accompaniment signal generating section 24, and the signal in the television signal selecting section 16. FIG. Next, in the operation of the audio signal system, the audio signal V1, V2 or S-V selected by the television signal selection unit 16 is input to the second selection unit 32. When the television mode is selected by the controller 28, the audio signal from the television signal selector 16 is selected by the second selector 32. When the video accompaniment mode is selected, the video accompaniment signal generator 24 The accompaniment signal is selected and output to the audio output device. That is, the signal output from the second selector 32 is input to the reverberation sound processor 34, and after the reverberation sound processing and the equalizing process are performed, it is output to the amplifier 36. The signal amplified by the amplifier 36 is provided as a voice output by the speakers L, R, and WOOPER. The voice signal VOICE introduced through the microphone is combined with the accompaniment signal of the image accompaniment signal generator 24 by the voice synthesizer 38 and then provided to the second selector 32. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the image accompaniment signal generator 24 includes a graphic / text signal generator 242, an accompaniment signal generator 244, an image accompaniment controller 246, and an external interface (not shown). Equipped with. The graphic / character signal generator 242 includes a graphic memory for storing graphic information, a character memory for storing character information, a graphic / character processor for combining graphic information read from the graphic memory and character information read from the character memory, and the graphic. And a digital-to-analog converter for outputting the character processor's output. The accompaniment signal generator 244 inputs the sound source information read from the sound source memory storing the sound source information, converts it into an accompaniment signal, and outputs the output signal of the sound source information processor and the sound source information processor by digital / analog conversion. It has a / A converter. Here, the sound source information stored in the sound source memory is MIDI information. On the other hand, the image accompaniment controller 246 performs a built-in program to control the graphic / text signal generator 242 and the accompaniment signal generator 244, a remote control from a remote control device (not shown) And a synchronizing signal generator for generating a pseudo synchronizing signal equivalent to the synchronizing signal of the television signal and the interface for performing the command to the microprocessor.

On the other hand, the preamplifier 40 interfaces a control command from the remote control to the microcomputer 28, and the command input section 42 provides at least a television / image accompaniment mode selection key for inputting a command signal to the microcomputer 28; It is equipped with accompaniment video signal selection key, curve pad numeric pad, start, cancel key, reservation key, pitch control key and speed adjustment key.

The microprocessor 246a of the image accompaniment controller 246 controls such that graphic signals, text signals, and accompaniment signals corresponding to the designated tunes are generated through the bus. The synchronizing signal generator 246b generates a pseudo synchronizing signal. The interface 246c receives the remote control command from the remote controller and transmits the microprocessor 246a. The remote control command transmitted from the remote controller is simultaneously applied to the microcomputer 28 of FIG. 2 and the image accompaniment control unit 246 of FIG. In other words, if the remote control command is a television control command, the microcomputer 28 operates, and if the video accompaniment control command is performed, the video accompaniment signal generator 24 operates. The pseudo synchronous signal PS is used to maintain synchronization with the graphic / text signal generator 242 and the image accompaniment signal when the graphic signal from the image accompaniment signal generator 24 is applied to the first selector 20. will be. By the way, when the normal television signal is outputted, the synchronization of the graphic / text signal generator 242 is maintained by the synchronization signal H / V generated by the color demodulation unit 22.

In the operation of the accompaniment signal generator 244, data such as the pitch, the length and length of the sound, and the tone (type of instrument) for each tune are recorded in the sound source information memory 244a according to the MIDI standard. The sound source information read from the sound source information memory 244a is input to the sound source information processor 244b, and then formed as serial data of the stereo L channel and the stereo R channel and transmitted to the digital / analog converter 244c.

The analog stereo L channel and stereo R channel signals output from the digital / analog converter 244c may be combined with external audio signals such as a microphone by the voice synthesizer 38 and transmitted to the second selector 32. On the other hand, graphic information is stored in the graphic memory 242a of the graphic / character signal generator 242, and lyrics information corresponding to each song is stored in the character memory 242b. The graphic information and the character information read out from the graphic memory 242a and the character memory 242b are combined in the graphic / character information processor 242c, and then in the digital / analog converter 242d, the graphics / characters of the R, G, and B type are displayed. A text signal is output. Thus, since the video accommodating device is integrally formed in the television, it is possible to provide convenience in use at home or in a business, and even if the installation space is very small. However, the conventional video accompaniment device is only to be able to sing the song selected by the user once, there was no function to display it on the monitor at the time of birthday, sixtieth birthday or promotion.
