FIG. 6A is a flow diagram illustrating the initial setup of the apparatus of FIGS. 4A and 5 and includes steps 200-207.

In step 200, it is determined whether the current time is input and is in operation. If the current time is not input, the current time is input in step 201, and if it is input, the alarm time is set in step 202. In step 203, the alarm function is set to be turned on or off, and in step 204, an alarm selection signal is set to select whether to use the broadcast audio signal as the alarm sound or to use the alarm sound signal of the built-in alarm sound generator. . When the alarm set time is out of the broadcast time, the alarm sound signal of the alarm sound generator is selected. In step 205, if the user wants to confirm whether or not to confirm the set input, the preset contents are displayed in step 206 to confirm whether or not it is set correctly in step 207, and if it is incorrectly set, the process returns to step 202 to set again. If well set in step 207, the process ends. If not checked in step 205, the process ends immediately.

FIG. 6B is a flowchart illustrating a process of generating an alarm sound after initially setting the apparatus of FIGS. 4A and 5 as shown in FIG. 5A, where step 210 is supplying power, and steps 211, 212, and 213 are alarm functions. Step 214, 215, and 216 are steps for selecting an alarm sound, step 217 and 218 are steps for increasing, step 219 are steps for generating, steps 220, 223 and 226 are for displaying, Steps 221, 224, and 227 are input steps, and steps 222, 225, 228, and 229-235 compare and release or repeat. In step 210, if the alarm time set in step 202 matches the current time, the power is turned on. In step 211, it is checked whether the alarm function set in step 203 is turned on. If YES in step 211, in step 213, all non-numeric function key inputs from the remote control or keyboard input device are rejected so that the alarm sound continues to be generated even if the alarm sound is not normally released through the remote control. That is, even if the power of the television receiver is turned off, the function keys other than the numbers are rejected so as not to be turned off. In step 214, if the user selects the alarm sound of the alarm sound generating device as the alarm sound according to the alarm sound selection information set in step 204, the alarm sound generating device is turned on in step 215. Accordingly, the switch means is driven to select either the alarm sound signal or the broadcast audio signal of the alarm sound generator. In step 217, the volume increase routine as shown in FIG. 3C is driven to increase the alarm sound every time a certain time elapses. In step 218, an alarm sound is generated through the speaker, and a broadcast screen is displayed on the monitor. In the case of MVCR, it is also possible to display a picture and audio on a videotape. In step 219, a random number is set. In step 220, a first number is displayed among the random numbers. In step 221, the user views the displayed number on the screen and inputs the first number through a keyboard or a remote controller. If the random numbers displayed in step 222 are not identical to each other by comparing the numbers, the process returns to step 219 and repeats from the step of setting random numbers. If the numbers match, the second number is displayed. In step 224, the user looks at the displayed number on the screen and inputs the second number through the keyboard or the remote controller. If the random number displayed in step 225 and the input number are not identical to each other, the process returns to step 219 and repeats from the step of setting the random number. In step 227, the user looks at the displayed number on the screen and inputs the third number through the keyboard or the remote controller. If the random numbers displayed in step 228 are different from each other by comparing the input numbers with each other, the process returns to step 219 and repeats from the step of setting the random numbers. Steps 220-227 vary depending on the number of random numbers set in step 219. In the embodiment of the present invention, the case where three random numbers 'X, Y, Z' are set in step 219 will be described. In addition, in the example of the present invention, the set random number is displayed and input one by one 'X', 'Y', 'Z'. Alternatively, you can display 'X, Y, Z' all at once and enter them all at once. If all the correct numbers are input by performing steps 220-227, it is determined that the user is sufficiently asleep. In step 229, it is determined whether the alarm sound signal of the alarm generating device is selected as the alarm sound. In step 230, the volume increasing routine is released. If the alarm sound signal is selected in step 229, the audio output is muted in step 231. Then, the alarm generating device is turned off in step 232, the broadcast sound signal is selected in step 233, and the audio output mute is released in step 234. Normally outputs broadcast screen and broadcast sound. In step 235, all key input rejection functions other than the number driven in step 213 are released to operate normally. The mute function is turned on and off in steps 231 and 234 so that noise is not output when the sound is switched.

As described above, the device of the present invention is applied to a device having various timer functions to generate an alarm sound at a set time, and gradually increase the volume of sound as time passes, bringing attention to the display device. The alarm sound is released only when the same symbol as the displayed symbol is input, so that the user must perform normal operation. In other words, when used as a wake-up device, the user can block the alarm sound and prevent the user from continuing to sleep while sleeping.
