BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a memo display method, and more particularly to a memo in which a user stores various kinds of information in a memory built into a television, a video tape recorder, a personal computer, and the like and displays the stored various kinds of information at a desired time. It relates to a display method.

In general, when the user wants to remember important appointments or various events and schedules, the user has to record the necessary contents in a notebook or a memo sheet and check the recorded contents from time to time. However, such a series of procedures for checking a notebook and a memo pad are very inconvenient for the user, and when the amount of information to be memo is very large, the amount of the notebook and the memo pad becomes very large, and thus it is very difficult for the user to manage it. There was an uncomfortable problem.

In addition, when the user is immersed in the work and unable to check the notebook or memo, there are problems such as failing to fulfill important appointments, failing to attend an event, or disruption of schedule management.

In order to solve the problems described above, a combination notebook (electronic notebook) that can store various types of information has been developed and sold in the related art. However, even when the user uses the electronic notebook, the user must check the recorded information. Discomfort still exists.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to display a memo at a time when a user stores various kinds of information in a memory and displays the stored information at a desired time through a control means. In providing.

A feature of the present invention for achieving the object as described above, the remote control signal receiving means for receiving a remote control signal, the key input means, the storage for storing and reproducing the message data applied from the remote control signal receiving means and key input means A memo display method for all electronic devices, comprising: a means, a display means for displaying data detected by the storage means, and a control means for controlling the respective constituent means; Inputting a message to be memorized and a display start time and duration; Checking the current time to compare whether the current time and the set display start time are the same; And displaying the message stored in the storage means for an initial input display duration if the current time and the set display start time are the same.

In the present invention, after the step of inputting the message and display start time and duration to be stored, the step of inputting the time interval and the number of times that the message is displayed repeatedly; And after displaying the message stored in the storage means for the initial input display duration, stopping the output of the data by the initial input repetition display time interval and repeating the process by the initial input repetition number. After performing the step of displaying the message stored in the storage means, it is preferable to perform the step of automatically deleting the message from the storage means after the display is completed.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the memo display method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a schematic block diagram showing a component for performing a memo display method according to the present invention. Here, since the present invention relates to a method for displaying various kinds of stored information, the component shown in FIG. 1 may use the same hardware as that of a general television, a video tape recorder, a personal computer, and the like. Therefore, in the present invention, the case of television is limitedly described, and the same applies to a video tape recorder, a personal computer, a multimedia system, and the like.

Referring to FIG. 1, a remote controller signal receiver 1 for receiving various information signals that are applied from outside and desired by a user, a key input unit 2 for directly inputting information desired by a user, and a remote controller Receives various information data input from either the signal receiving unit 1 or the key input unit 2, stores the data in the RAM 3, and detects and outputs the data stored in the RAM 3 when the predetermined time is set. At the same time, an on-screen display (hereinafter, abbreviated as OSD) character is generated by using the microcomputer 4 and the data output from the microcomputer 4 that control the entire system to generate the onscreen monitor 5. The OSD unit 6 which outputs is comprised.

Referring to the operation of the component having such a configuration, when the user operates a remote controller (not shown) or an operation key (not shown) to input various information signals to be memo, the information signal input from the remote controller is a remote controller signal. The data is converted into data through the receiving unit 1 and then input to the microcomputer 4, and the information signal input from the operation key is input to the microcomputer 4 through the key input unit 2. The microcomputer 4 stores in the RAM 3 data applied from either the remote control signal receiver 1 or the key input unit 2.

In addition, when the microcomputer 4 reaches a predetermined time set by the initial user, the microcomputer 4 detects predetermined data among various data stored in the RAM 3 and outputs the data to the OSD unit 6 to display the OSD unit ( 6) generates the OSD characters of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) corresponding to the data using the data applied from the microcomputer (4), and outputs them to the monitor (5). The information displayed on the monitor 5 can be confirmed.

This will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

The user first selects a corresponding mode by dividing information to be memorized. When the corresponding mode is selected, the user inputs the contents to be displayed, the start time, the duration, and the repeated time intervals, and inputs the number of times the display is repeated. All of these input data are applied from the remote control or operation key operated by the user, and are converted into data by the remote control signal receiving unit 1 and the key input unit 2 and then input to the microcomputer 4.

The microcomputer 4 checks the present time of the main timer (S1), and determines whether the checked present time is the same as the set display start time (S2). If it is determined in this step S2 that the present time is not the same as the display start time, the microcomputer 4 returns to step S1 to continue checking the present time.

If it is determined in step S2 that the current time is the same as the display start time, the microcomputer 4 detects the data stored in the RAM (S3), initializes the auxiliary timer, and starts operation (S4). ), The detected data from the RAM 3 is output (S5). Thereafter, the microcomputer 4 checks the time counted by the sub-timer (S6) and compares whether the time counted by the sub-timer and the display duration are the same (S7). If it is determined that the time counted by the sub-timer and the display duration in this step S7 are not equal to each other, the microcomputer 4 returns to step S5 to continue to output the detected data, and the process described above is performed. Keep repeating.

If it is determined in step S7 that the counted time and the display duration are the same as each other, the microcomputer 4 stops outputting the data detected from the RAM 3 (S8). Initialize the sub-timer and start operation at the same time (S9), check the counting time of the sub-timer (S10), and then compare whether the time counted by the sub-timer and the displayed time interval are the same. (S11). If it is determined in step S11 that the time counted by the auxiliary timer and the time interval in which the displayed contents are repeated are different from each other, the flow returns to step S10 to continuously check the time counted by the auxiliary timer.

If it is determined in step S11 that the time counted by the auxiliary timer and the time interval in which the displayed contents are repeated are equal to each other, the microcomputer 4 adds 1 to the number of repetitions displayed so far. After setting the new number of repetitions (S12), it is determined whether the total number of repetitions displayed so far and the initially set repetition number are the same (S13), and in this step (S13), the total repetitions and initial values displayed so far are If it is determined that the number of repetitions set at is different from each other, the process returns to step S5 of outputting the detected data from the RAM 3, and repeats the above-described whole process, and in this step S13, the total number of repetitions displayed so far. If it is determined that the number of repetitions and the initial number of repetitions are the same, then all the processes are finished.

For example, the above-described process will be described in more detail.

Initially, the user wants to store various types of information into three modes such as various events, schedules, and memos, and records the display contents in the schedule management mode among these three modes. Assuming that you want to input into a working personal computer, the user first selects a schedule management mode from the three modes. When the selection of the mode is completed, the user enters the contents to be displayed. For example, to enter the fact that an emergency meeting will be held in a conference room at 1:30 pm on January 5, 1995, the user enters the message 95.1.5 / PM1: 30 / room / emergency meeting.

In addition, if the user wants to check the message 30 minutes before the start of the meeting in order to arrive at the meeting room at 1:30 pm, the display start time is 95.1.6 / PM1: 00.

When the input of the display start time is completed, the user inputs a duration for displaying the contents of the message. That is, if the display duration is set to 30 seconds so that the user can fully check the displayed content, the display duration is input to 30 seconds.

When the input of the display duration is completed, the user inputs a time interval and the number of repetitions for the display contents to be repeated. That is, in order to allow the user to repeatedly check the displayed content, the message is displayed for 30 seconds, and then the message is deleted and redisplayed for a predetermined time so that the user can check the message contents more effectively. Set and input the number of times to be displayed repeatedly. That is, if the time interval for deleting a message is set to 10 seconds and the repetition frequency is set to 5 times, the user may input 10 seconds and 5 times, respectively.

Here, the input process as described above may be set in advance so as to occur sequentially in the microcomputer 4, the user directly selects the desired list by using the cursor movement keys, etc. in the state of displaying the respective input list, and then directly inputs it. It can also be set to.

When the initial setting is completed by performing the above-described process, the microcomputer 4 checks the current time of the main timer and continuously checks whether the current time is 1 pm on January 6, 1995. Here, if it is determined that the current time checked in the main timer is 1 pm on January 6, 1995, the microcomputer 4 stores data stored in the RAM 3, that is, 95.1.5 / PM.

The message 1: 30 / meeting room / emergency meeting is detected and output to the OSD unit 6 for display on the monitor 5.

When the message is displayed, the microcomputer 4 starts the auxiliary timer and keeps checking whether the time counted by the auxiliary timer is 30 seconds. Here, when the time counted by the sub-timer reaches 30 seconds, the microcomputer 4 stops the output of the data detected from the RAM 3, initializes the sub-timer again, and operates it.

The microcomputer 4 keeps checking whether the time counted through the auxiliary timer is 10 seconds. Here, when the counting time is 10 seconds by the sub-timer, the microcomputer 4 increases the number of times displayed until now, and compares whether the increased repetition number is equal to the initially set repetition number, that is, five times. Here, when the comparison results are determined to be different from each other, the microcomputer 4 repeats the above-described processes until the comparison results are determined to be the same, and if the comparison results are determined to be the same, the microcomputer 4 repeats the message. Is no longer displayed.

Meanwhile, as described above, after one message is completely displayed, it is preferable to delete the message in order to secure the storage capacity of the RAM 3.

In addition, there may be a plurality of messages stored in the RAM 3. That is, if the display time is properly adjusted so that the message input by the user initially is displayed at different times, the message as much as the storage capacity of the RAM 3 may be stored. In this case, the order of the displayed messages is the same as that of the input display start time.

On the other hand, it is possible to set by using the total display time without specifying the number of display repetition of the message mentioned in the present invention.

In addition, the present invention is found to be applicable to any device having a display device, a storage means and a control means for controlling the same.

As described above, according to the memo display method of the present invention, a user inputs various information into a personal computer, a TV, a video tape recorder, etc. frequently used by the user, and sets a time for which the contents are automatically displayed. Even if you do not check one by one, there is an advantage that can be easily confirmed.

In addition, the present invention can be used in all electronic devices having a display device, a storage means and a control means for controlling the same, there is an advantage that the use range is very wide.
