Description

VSI system with color setting OSD function

The present invention relates to a VSI system having a screen interactive OSD function, and in particular, it is possible to set a color of an OSD screen displayed when the screen interactive OSD screen is used as a user selection. It is intended to be flexible.

The VSI system is a device that can receive an external video source and record or play back a recorded tape. The VSIAL system having a screen interactive OSD function is illustrated as shown in FIG. 1.

Here, the microcomputer 31 for controlling the VSI system, the servo circuit 32 for driving control of the motor on the system deck side, the remote control unit 33a and the set side wirelessly connected to the remote control transmitter 33c The recording signal is taped from a timer circuit 33 to which the key portion 33b is connected, an audio circuit 35 for processing a reproduction or audio recording signal in the system, and an RF signal provided from the tuner and the IF unit 38. A video circuit 37 provided on the side or processing a reproduced video signal lamp, a DMSS unit 36 controlled to provide an audio signal in a normal state at the time of double speed playback on the system deck side, and characters and graphics The OS 34 which displays data on the screen and provides a menu screen for function selection, and synchronizes the signal received from the antenna and generates a signal of intermediate frequency. The tuner is composed of a tuner and IFF unit 38, a power circuit 39 for supplying system power, and the like.

In the VSI system having the OSD function, various screen interactive functions using the OSDS 34 were performed.

The screen interactive function is to make an operation such as setting / unlocking / adjusting an OS screen by calling and setting a reservation recording and confirming, setting a clock, and setting a channel.

For example, among these functions, the operation of setting the recording of the drug is performed through the following screen procedure.

Function Selection 1. Custom Clock 2. Reservation recording 3. Channel Customization 4. Tape Selection (Tape Remaining Time) 5. Other Functions 1 to 5 Selection End of Function Selection

If you press 2 above

Baroque reservation recording ■ Broadcasting program 1 Broadcasting program 2 Broadcasting program 3 Setting key: Reservation up / down key: Move cursor

Therefore, when the user selects a predetermined broadcast program number by moving the cursor of the up / down keys on the screen, the following screen appears.

MBC Oct 15, 1996 at 08:00 am 07:00 AMC News 08:00 Kiss 09:00 Shisatoron. Noon 12:00 MBC News .

Therefore, when the user presses enter again after moving the cursor to the corresponding pro, the following screen is displayed.

Immediate K Reservation Recording / Cancel Channel Month / Day Start Time End Time Method1. 11 10/15 AM 08:00 08:50 Once 2.3..N.1 ～ N selection Next screen function selection End

If you select No. 1 above, the following screen displays the title and reservation details of the program as follows.

Baroque reservation recording number 1 MBC Kiss / Monday Start time Jul 15 08:00 AM End time 08:50 AM Standard recording method Once.

As described above, the OSD function is used to set and release various functions. However, since the screens are displayed in a fixed color (eg, gray or blue), color conversion during such work is performed. There was a limitation that could not be done as user intended.

Therefore, it is difficult for the system user to avoid visual boredom because the user always sees a certain color screen while working through the OS screen.

The purpose of the present invention is to avoid the visual boredom when using such a device by changing the screen color at the user's discretion in the screen interactive operation using the OSD function to improve the above problems. .

The present invention provides a microcomputer for controlling the OS unit so that the user selects a color set item on the function menu screen in the system and outputs the color when the user selects a color from the color set item so as to achieve the above object; OSD unit which generates a predetermined color screen signal under the control of the microcomputer and provides it to the video output rear end, and a key input unit which provides a color input selection operation command signal to the microcomputer, and the like. It is characteristic of VSI system.

Hereinafter, more specific features of the present invention will be understood by describing the same in detail with the accompanying drawings.

100. Color selection processing program

VSI system having a color setting OSD function according to the present invention is shown as an extract as shown in FIG.

Here, the user selects a color set item from a key input unit 12 that provides a color input selection operation command signal to the microcomputer 11 in the system, and a function menu screen called up by the operation of the key input unit 12, and the color set item. The microcomputer 11 controls the OS unit 14 to output the color when the user selects a color, and generates a predetermined color screen signal under the control of the microcomputer 11 to provide the video output rear end. OSD part 14 is included.

In the figure, reference numeral 13 denotes a video portion, 15 a deck portion, and 16 a servo portion.

In addition, the system is provided with a color selection processing program 100 for changing the OS color data upon user color selection in the color set mode set on the function menu screen as shown in FIG.

In addition, the color selection processing program 100 checks whether the system is in the color set mode (step 101), and in the color set mode, checks which key of the ten key number is pressed (steps 102 to 107). Thereafter, the pressed numerical value is stored in the system memory (step 108), and a series of processing steps are performed to the routine for changing the color data corresponding to the value (step 109).

The present invention of this configuration is that when the system user performs a screen interactive function using the OS as shown in Figure 2 when the function key is pressed through the key input unit 12, the microcomputer 11 recognizes this and the OS DS unit 14 )) And the following function menu screen is displayed.

Function Selection 1. Custom Clock 2. Reservation recording 3. Channel Customization 4. Tape Selection (Tape Remaining Time) 5. Color set 6. Other Functions 1 to 6 Select End of Function Selection

When the user presses the fifth time, the following screen for selecting a user color is output.

Color set 1. Green 2. Blue 3. Red 4. Yellow 5. Brown 6. White 1 to 6 Select Function End

When the user selects a color required by the user on the screen, the microcomputer 11 recognizes this and sets the screen color as the changed data through the color data changing processing routine using the OSD 14.

Therefore, the user can use the screen interactive OSD screen by designating his favorite color.

On the other hand, the above operation is performed together with the color setting processing program 100 as shown in Fig. 3, which checks whether the system is in the color set mode (step 101), and if the color set mode is one of the ten-key numbers 1 to 6; It checks which key is pressed (steps 102 to 107), then stores the pressed numerical value in system memory (step 108), and goes to a routine for changing and processing color data corresponding to the value (step 109). .

The present invention can eliminate the visual boredom caused by the fixed OSD screen because the OS interactive screen can be arbitrarily changed by the user's selection.
