BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a method for selecting an adjustment mode in a table of contents mode for selecting a displayed adjustment mode in a table of contents mode in a home appliance such as a television, a video cassette recorder, a laser disk player, or the like using a menu mode. It is intended to provide a method of assigning a unique number to each adjustment mode of the mode and directly selecting and adjusting the assigned unique number.

In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for displaying how and in what mode there is a mode to be adjusted in one mode in the table of contents mode.

Currently, the video equipment system configured to display characters on the screen by using a microcomputer displays each function mode to select and adjust the system functions in the table of contents mode, and when one of the function modes is selected, the mode to be adjusted in the selected function mode is selected. After display, one of the modes can be selected and adjusted.

That is, conventionally, when the display mode displays several main contents modes that can be adjusted and selects a mode to be adjusted among the main contents modes, the sub mode applied to the main contents mode is displayed and only one sub mode is selected to adjust the desired function mode. Could.

Therefore, the user was troublesome to operate the keys, forget the key operation sequence, and could not know what the next adjustment mode was.

In this way, it is possible to operate only when the input sequence of the keys corresponding to the function to be adjusted is known, and it is inconvenient to select each mode sequentially one by one, and to go to the last mode from the currently adjusting mode. Since it is necessary to press the key as much as possible, there is a hassle of key operation.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, while displaying the main table of contents in the table of contents mode at the same time by displaying the sub-mode applied to the main table with a unique number to inform the user of the adjustable sub-mode of the selected main table of contents The above-described sub-modes may be sequentially selected or directly adjusted using a unique number, thereby eliminating the trouble of inputting the operation key and providing operational simplicity.

As such, the present invention aims at displaying a main table of contents and a sub table of contents applied to the main table of contents at the time of ordering so that the user can adjust the selection or the direct selection using the unique number. Displaying a table of contents and displaying a sub mode applied to the main table of contents by setting a unique number, and sequentially selecting a main table of contents and a sub mode by inputting a table selection key or using a unique number to select a sub mode. The selection adjustment step consists of direct selection adjustment.

Here, the unique number set in the sub mode is set by numbers or symbols, assigns a serial number to the sub mode applied to the main contents, and then directly selects a desired sub mode using the numeric keys.

When selecting the main contents, the sub mode adjustment function is displayed with the unique number.

The present invention is applied to all video systems such as a television, a video cassette recorder, a laser disk player and the like for displaying characters on a screen using a microcomputer, but will be described as an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a television according to the accompanying drawings.

Here, the adjustment keys required for the present invention are contents keys, mode adjustment up / down and left / right keys, enter keys, etc., and these adjustment keys are configured in the transmitter 10 and the key matrix block 12 and the OSD circuit 27 is provided. The OSD outputs characters and unique numbers that can display the main contents and sub modes as OSD signals by using the OSD synchronization signal.

The OSD signal output from the OSD circuit 27 is mixed with the image signal processed by the chroma IC 32 and the RGB matrix IC 33 and then displayed by the CRT 35 through the RGB drive 34.

On the other hand, the tuner 30 tunes the broadcast signal to the IF IC 31 according to the tuning data of the microcomputer 20, and the IF IC 31 processes the video signal and the audio signal into the chroma IC 32 and the audio, respectively. To multiple modules 40.

The left and right channel audio signals processed by the voice multiplexer module 40 are volume controlled by the amplifier 42 through the tone control IC 41 and then amplified by the left and right channel audio signals. Each of the left channel speaker 43 and the right channel speaker 44 is configured to be output.

The present invention applied to a television composed of such known functional blocks will be described as a specific embodiment.

First, the configuration of the transmitter 10 should be provided with six keys (table of contents key, mode up key, mode down key, mode left key, mode light key, enter key) for implementing the present invention as shown in FIG. .

That is, the power B + applied through the pull-up resistors R1-R5 passes between the switch diodes D1-D3 between the kisscan pulse input lines IN1-IN5 and the kisscan pulse output lines OUT1-OUT3. Among the keys (K1-K15), the contents key (K7), mode left key (K11), mode light key (K12), mode up key (K13), mode down key (K14), and enter key Further configure (K15).

FIG. 2 (a) shows a circuit diagram of the above-described keys K1-K15, and FIG. 2 (b) is a plan view of the transmitter showing the key arrangement state of the transmitter 10. As shown in FIG.

It looks at how to implement the present invention using the transmitter 10 as described above.

First, when the user inputs the table of contents key (K7), the initial main table of contents mode is displayed as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 3, and in (a) of FIG. In (b) of FIG. 3, the sub mode applied to the entire main table of contents is indicated by a number.

The number indicating the sub mode may be displayed using another symbol.

As described above, the main table of contents and the sub mode applied to the table of contents (K7) will be described in the method of FIG.

To adjust, press the mode up key (K13) or mode down key (K14) to select the main table of contents you want to adjust (in this case, the selected main table of contents is displayed in reverse and the selected main table of contents is displayed. Informs you.)

In the selected main table of contents, the sub mode is selected by inputting a number indicating the sub mode, and the sub mode of the main table of contents selected in reverse can be selected to adjust the corresponding mode.

For example, in the time adjustment mode (indicated as shown in (a) of FIG. 3), input the key 4 (mode 4 is the alarm time) to directly adjust the alarm time mode.

Here is an example of the application of the sub mode

Time adjustment: 1. Current time. 2.Time turned on.

Can be applied as

On the other hand, if any main table of contents is selected in (a) and (b) of FIG. 3 (time adjustment in (a) of FIG. 3, and direct selection in (b) of FIG. 3), then the main table of contents that can be adjusted is displayed at the bottom of the screen. By displaying (the screen adjustment in FIG. 3 (a) and the time adjustment in FIG. 3 (b)), the user is provided with the convenience of selecting the adjustment mode.

Hereinafter, the selection and display state of the sub mode in the main contents mode will be described in detail.

In case of selecting No. 4 of the screen adjustment mode in the main contents mode as shown in (a) of FIG. 3, the display is displayed as shown in (a) of FIG. 4 and the sharpness mode which is the next adjustment mode is displayed on the lower part of the screen.

And when the sound control mode is selected in the main contents mode as shown in (a) of FIG. 3, the sound control mode is displayed in reverse as shown in (b) of FIG. 4, and in the state shown in (b) of FIG. If you select No, the sound balance mode is selected as shown in (c) of FIG.

At this time, the next adjustable mode displayed on the lower part of the screen displays the additional function mode in the case of FIG. 4B and the surround mode in the case of FIG. 4C.

When the main table of contents mode is displayed as above, the selected main table of contents is displayed in reverse, and the next adjustable main table of contents is displayed at the bottom of the screen, or the next adjustable sub mode can be displayed at the bottom of the screen when the sub mode is selected. Alternatively, when selecting the main table of contents, the sub mode applied to the main table of contents can be displayed at the bottom of the screen together with the unique number, so that user convenience can be pursued.

That is, when the time adjustment mode of the main contents mode is selected as shown in (a) of FIG. 5, the time adjustment mode is displayed in reverse, and at the bottom of the screen, the sub mode applied to the time adjustment mode is displayed together with the unique number. Indicates which submode in the adjustment mode can be selected.

In the case of FIG. 5B, the sub mode applied to the screen adjustment mode is displayed on the lower end of the screen when the screen adjustment mode is selected.

FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B show only slightly different display methods, and FIG. 5B displays the sub mode displayed at the bottom of the screen as history.

If you press No.5 key while it is displayed as in (b) of FIG. 5, it is displayed as in (c) of FIG. 5. If you press the Enter key in this state, you can make detailed adjustments to the sub mode of sharpness. Same as the method.

For example, if the sharpness of the screen adjustment mode is selected, the screen is displayed as shown in (d) of FIG. 5 and in this state, the sharpness can be increased or decreased by using the up / down keys.

The main contents of the present invention and the display method of the sub mode will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 6 to 8.

First, in the flowchart of Fig. 6, check if there is a table of contents key input, and if there is a table of contents key input, check whether the main table of contents as shown in (a) of FIG. 3 is currently displayed. If the main table of contents is not displayed, display the main table of contents as shown in FIG.

That is, once there is a table of contents key input, the main table of contents is displayed, and once there is a table of contents key input, the main table of contents is 'off'.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the sub-mode adjustment. As shown in (d) of FIG. 5, if there is an adjustment key input in the fine adjustment mode, it is checked whether the adjustment flag is set. If the adjustment flag is not set, the detailed adjustment mode is displayed and the adjustment is made. If the flag is set, fine adjustment is made by changing the data value for the mode.

If no key input is made until 3 seconds have elapsed after displaying the adjustment mode or changing the data value as above, clear the adjustment flag and then sub-mode before detailed adjustment mode (as shown in (c) of FIG. 5). Go back to.

8 is a mode up / down flow chart, when the mode up key is pressed while the main table of contents is displayed, the mode immediately above is selected from the currently selected mode. When the mode down key is pressed, the next mode is selected from the currently selected mode. If a key other than the / down key is input, it is determined whether it is a valid key input, and if the key is valid, the corresponding adjustment mode is displayed.

For example, if the mode up key is input while the main contents are displayed as shown in (b) of FIG. 5, the mode adjustment mode is reversed. If the mode down key is input, the sound adjustment mode is reversed. When the numeric keys are entered, the sub mode set from 1 to 5 is displayed.

If the above described key input disappears for 10 seconds, the program exits.

As described above, when the consumer inputs keys corresponding to the function when the consumer manipulates the product, the present invention displays the corresponding mode and simultaneously displays the sub mode set in the corresponding mode, indicating how many modes are in the mode to be operated. It is possible to adjust the selection and direct selection, so it can be operated according to consumer's preference, which can drastically reduce the number of times of operation time and operation key input.
