The present invention relates to a video display device and a method for setting an on-screen display menu, wherein an on-screen display menu setting for simplifying an on-screen display menu by setting an in-screen display menu item which is not frequently used is not displayed. It is about a method.

On Screen Display (hereinafter referred to as OSD) refers to a screen that is generated and displayed by the video display device itself without input of an external video signal.

In general, the OSD menu is widely used for adjusting the screen of a monitor, and recently, various menu settings, program guides, and the like of a video display device for receiving digital broadcasts have been applied.

In particular, various settings of the video display device are made through an OSD screen. For example, a setting menu is displayed through the OSD so that a user can set image information, audio information, channel information, and additional information. .

Recently, as the image display device is advanced and multifunctional, the width that can be set by the user is widening, and the number of setting menus displayed on the OSD screen is continuously increasing.

However, a typical user is using the video display device as set at the time of shipment from the factory, and very few cases set the video display device to the OSD screen.                         

In addition, although a user may set a video menu or an audio menu through an OSD screen, only a few menu items are set by the user.

However, since the number of menu items provided on the OSD screen is very large, it is not easy for a user to select a desired menu item, and a user may apply for A / S due to an incorrect setting of a person who is not familiar with the video display device. Done.

Therefore, it may be desirable to display only for OSD menu items that are frequently used by a user and not to display some menu items.

An object of the present invention is to provide an image display device and an OSD menu setting method which can prevent some of the setting menus provided on the OSD screen from being displayed on the screen according to a user's selection.

In the image display device according to the present invention, in the image display device for providing a setting menu to the OSD screen, a key input unit to which the user's control command is input, and a menu for selecting whether to display or hide the menu item according to the user's key input. An OSD processing unit for displaying a display setting and a control unit for storing a setting selected to be displayed or hidden in the menu display setting, and for displaying a setting menu, are displayed only for menu items selected as the display.

In addition, the OSD menu setting method according to the present invention comprises the steps of: displaying a menu display setting to display or hide the menu item in the OSD menu on the OSD screen, and setting to display or hide the menu item on the OSD screen Characterized in that it comprises a step of storing.

More preferably, the OSD menu setting method further comprises the step of inputting a password.

The OSD menu setting method may further include displaying only a menu item selected as a display.

Hereinafter, an image display device and an OSD menu setting method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a view illustrating an image display device according to the present invention.

The image display device according to the present invention includes an antenna 20, a tuner 21, a channel decoder 22, a demultiplexer 23, an audio decoder 24, a video decoder 25, a synthesizer 26, The controller 28, the key input unit 27, the OSD processing unit 29, and the memory 30 are included.

The antenna 20 serves to receive a broadcast signal, although not shown, it is also possible to receive a broadcast signal through an input such as a cable in addition to the antenna 20.

The tuner 21 tunes a broadcast signal of a channel selected by a user from among broadcast signals received through the antenna 20.

The channel decoding unit 22 restores the digital signal detected from the broadcast signal of the tuned channel in packet units and outputs the demultiplexer 23 to the demultiplexer 23. The demultiplexer 23 outputs audio data and video from the restored packet unit data. Separate data and additional information.

The audio decoding unit 24 decodes the audio data and converts the audio data into an analog signal and outputs the same through a speaker. The video decoding unit 25 performs signal processing such as decoding and error correction on the video data, synthesizes the decoded video signal with the OSD screen, and outputs the same through the display means.

The OSD processor 29 generates an OSD screen. In addition, various programs may be stored in the memory 30, and the OSD menu settings selected by the user may be stored.

The key input unit 27 may be a control key or a remote control unit formed in the image display device, and the user inputs a control command through the key input unit 27.

The controller 28 generates a menu display setting screen through the OSD processing unit 29 when the user has a key input for setting the OSD menu item to “display” or “hidden”.

In addition, the selected item among the OSD menu items is not displayed on the OSD menu in the setting mode according to an additional key input by the user.

This means not to delete the selected item on the OSD menu, but to provide a "hidden" function so that the selected item is not displayed.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the image display device is provided with a setting mode for setting image information, audio information, channel information, additional information, and the like through an OSD menu.

Taking image information as an example, the screen brightness and contrast can be set, and the user can adjust the degree of brightness or contrast in detail.

And, in the case of color temperature, the degree of red, green, and blue can be adjusted.

However, in some cases, each menu item illustrated in FIG. 2 is rarely used.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 3, a menu screen for allowing a user to determine whether to display a menu is provided.

In FIG. 3, the user may select “show” or “hidden” for each menu item. In this case, the menu item selected as “hidden” is not visible to the user even when the user enters the setting mode as shown in FIG. 4.

Therefore, the simple setting mode screen as shown in FIG. 4 can be provided by making some of the various and many menu items invisible.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a OSD menu setting method according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, first, a user selects a menu display setting on an OSD (S100). In this case, a screen as illustrated in FIG. 3 is displayed by the OSD.

The user selects and stores "display" or "hidden" for each setting item (S110) (S120).

In addition, a procedure for selectively inputting a password may be provided. The password prevents a child or an inexperienced user from setting up a video display device from being tampered with, thereby maximizing the effect of the "hidden" function.                     

In other words, the "Hidden" function performs an additional function that prevents other users from accessing a certain menu item and thus prevents other users from affecting the screen of the video display device. Do not easily change (S130) (S140).

When the above procedure is completed, the menu item marked as "hidden" is not visible in the setting mode as illustrated in FIG. 4.

Due to the "hidden" function, the menu item of the setting mode can be simplified, and additionally, it is possible to maintain the basic performance of the video display device by not easily changing a specific menu item.

The image display device and the OSD menu setting method according to the present invention provide a function of preventing some of the setting menus provided on the OSD screen from being displayed on the screen according to a user's selection, thereby simplifying menu items and random setting. Changes can be prevented.
