Description

Video cassette player and message display method

1 is a block diagram of a video cassette player according to the present invention.

2 is a key arrangement diagram of a remote control device of a video cassette player according to the present invention.

3A to 3D are screen state diagrams for explaining the message display method according to the present invention.

The present invention relates to a video cassette player, and more particularly, to a video cassette player and a message displaying method capable of displaying a message.

In general, video cassette players can display simple letters or numbers on a television screen, including on-screen functionality. Recently, a product that delivers a simple message by adopting a voice synthesis chip is also being introduced. However, products having a function of directly inputting a message and displaying the input message have not yet been shipped. Therefore, there is no memo function in which a previous user directly inputs such a message so that the other user's key can confirm the message according to the operation of the other user. There was this.

An object of the present invention is to meet the demands of the prior art by using a remote control of the VCR to input a desired message using a text window and to display the input message on the screen by another user's remote control. A video cassette player capable of a memo function and a message display method are provided.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes: a light receiving unit for receiving a remote control signal: an on-screen signal generating unit for generating an on-screen signal: a video signal processing unit: a mixing unit for mixing the on-screen signal and the video signal and transmitting it to the CRT controller A video cassette player having a memory and a system control unit, wherein the memory stores a first memory area for storing information for displaying a character input panel on a screen when a message function is selected and a character selected from the character input panel on the screen. And a second memory area for storing the data in sequence, wherein the system control unit reads character input panel information in the first memory area when selecting a message function by a remote control signal through the light receiving unit, and then screens the screen through the on-screen signal generating unit. On the screen by the remote control signal Display a sentence consisting of the selected characters and stores the completed sentence in the second memory area of the memory.

The method of the present invention comprises the steps of: selecting a message function: displaying a message menu screen when a message function is selected: displaying a message input or viewing screen according to the selected function by the menu screen; Displaying a text input panel window in: displaying an input message by sequentially displaying selected characters on a screen when an arbitrary character on the text input panel is selected, and storing the completed message information when message input is completed. And displaying the stored message when the message viewing function is selected.

Accordingly, the present invention can input a message and display the input message using a video cassette player.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in more detail the present invention.

1 shows the configuration of a video cassette player according to the present invention. The video cassette player mixes a light receiver 10 for receiving a remote control signal, an on-screen signal generator 20 for generating an on-screen signal, a video signal processor 30, and an on-screen signal and a video signal. A CRT control unit, specifically, a mixing unit 40 for delivering to a television set, a memory 50 and a system control unit 60. The memory 50 has a first memory area 52 for storing information for displaying a character input panel on a screen when the message function is selected, and a second memory for sequentially storing characters selected from the character input panel on the screen. Has an area 54, and the system controller 60 reads the character input panel information in the first memory area 52 upon selecting the message function by the remote control signal through the light receiver 10 and then the on-screen signal. Displayed on the screen through the generation unit 20, and displays a sentence consisting of the selected characters of the character input panel on the screen by the remote control signal, and stores the completed sentence in the second memory area 54 of the memory.

The remote control of the video cassette player according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, has a message function selection key 70, an upward shift key 72, and a downward direction as well as the keys of a conventional video cassette player remote control. It further includes a shift key 74 and an enter key 76.

The message display method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3C. When the video cassette player of the present invention is connected to the television set, the video and the audio, and the power is supplied, the user presses the message function key 70 on the remote control to display the on-screen screen of FIG. 3A. When the user presses the No. 1 key in the tengi, the system controller displays the message menu screen of FIG. 3b. Displays the message input or view screen according to the selected function by the menu screen. That is, since the message input is selected at the first time, the character input panel window 80 is displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. 3C. When the user shifts the dial up and down by using the up and down shift keys 72 and 74 and selects a character to move with the cursor 82, the letter r on the character input panel is selected and the selected character is displayed on the screen. When the sentence is completed and the user presses the enter key 76, the system controller 60 stores the completed message in the second memory area 54 of the memory 50 and displays the screen on the menu screen of FIG. When the user selects No. 2 and selects the message viewing function, the stored message is displayed as shown in FIG. 3D. Therefore, according to the present invention, a message input by all users can be displayed on the screen by selecting another viewing function.

In the present invention, although the input dial consisting of a vertical bar is disclosed, it may be configured in a horizontal bar method or may be displayed in two lines. Of course, a plurality of messages can be stored according to the capacity of the memory. In addition, the viewing function may be selected, but may be configured to display an input message enabled by power on or system operation.
