If the connection is unsuccessful for some reason, the control unit 14 displays the internet connection failure on the CRT and then terminates the processing.

On the other hand, in addition to exchanging information through the above-mentioned Internet, most of us cannot exchange information by making a telephone call through the most widely used telephone when communication means for accessing the above-mentioned Internet are not provided. do.

Therefore, when such a phone is used by a large number of people, when a call comes in, an arbitrary person receives a call and then receives a call through a path that changes the receiver again. As a result, there is a hassle and inconvenience in answering the call.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and includes a telephone function in an Internet television receiver, and a calling party designates a receiver and sends it to a receiving party. An object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for displaying a designated receiver in an Internet television receiver which can be displayed on a screen.

In the Internet television receiver according to the present invention for realizing the above object, the designated receiver display method includes a call connection request step of keying a telephone number to be called and a designated receiver code, and dialing the input telephone number. A designated recipient code transmission step for transmitting a recipient code, a call connection step for executing a call connection with a called telephone number, a designated recipient code reception step for receiving a designated recipient code, and designated recipient information data corresponding to the received designated recipient code And a designated recipient display step of outputting a designated recipient information reading step of reading out, and a guide message informing the designated recipient of the call on the screen.

In addition, in the Internet television receiver for realizing the above object, the designated receiver display apparatus includes a trunk line connection port for connection with a telephone line, and an Internet television receiver having a modem for dialing according to a predetermined control signal. A designated receiver code detection unit for detecting the received designated receiver code, a designated receiver information storage unit storing receiver information corresponding to the designated recipient code as data, and generating OSD data for outputting OSD guided subtitles according to a predetermined control signal OSD generation unit, when the incoming signal is received through the trunk line and the designated recipient code is detected, including an Internet processor for controlling to output the OSD guided subtitles to the designated recipient corresponding to the detected designated recipient code It is done.

That is, according to the present invention having the above-described configuration, when a designated receiver code is detected by the designated receiver code detector by a designated telephone code from the Internet television receiver, the Internet processor is connected to the designated receiver code detected by the designated receiver information storage unit. The corresponding designated receiver is read out and applied to the control unit of the television receiver to display the OSD guided subtitle.

Therefore, the designated recipient can be displayed through the Internet television receiver so that the designated receiver can answer the call.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a method for displaying a designated receiver in an Internet television receiver according to an embodiment of the present invention. The same reference numerals are used to designate the same parts as those in FIG. Omit.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 31 denotes a designated receiver code detection unit for detecting a designated receiver code received through a modem 20 from a trunk line, and 32 denotes a designated receiver information storing receiver information corresponding to the designated receiver code as data. For example, "# 1" stores recipient names such as "Songsiksik", "# 2" "Hong Gil-dong", and "# 3" "Yi-Shin", and 33 is the control unit 14 of the Internet television receiver. An OSD generator which generates OSD data for outputting OSD subtitles according to a control signal.

Further, reference numeral 34 denotes an Internet processor which controls the designated receiver corresponding to the detected designated receiver code to be outputted as an OSD subtitle when the incoming signal is received through the trunk line and the designated receiver code is detected.

Next, the operation of the device having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3.

First, a sender who wants to make a call makes a call by inputting a designated recipient code, for example, a "# 1 " key, which designates a receiver with a telephone number while holding the handset.

On the other hand, on the receiving side where the telephone 35 is connected to the trunk line of the Internet television receiver and can receive the broadcast signal received through the antenna 1 when the power of the television receiver is turned on (ST1 step), the broadcast signal is tuned to the tuner 2. ), The broadcasting frequency signal corresponding to the channel selected by the viewer is tuned into a video signal and an audio signal, and output to the CRT and the speaker, respectively.

In addition, the viewer performs an operation of selecting a desired channel or adjusting a volume through the remote control device 12. When an operation signal is input from the remote control device 12, the control unit 14 controls the OSD generating unit ( 33), normal control processing for broadcast signal processing that displays the operation state on the CRT screen is performed (step ST2).

On the other hand, if the telephone number is received with the ring signal through the modem 20 connected to the trunk line while the general television function is being executed as described above (ST3 step), the designated receiver code transmitted along with the telephone number is the designated receiver code. It is detected by the detection part 31 (ST4 step).

Subsequently, if a designated receiver code, for example, "# 1" is detected through the designated receiver code detection unit 31, the Internet processor 34 transmits a "transmission" corresponding to the designated receiver code detected from the designated receiver information storage unit 32. The receiver name data "expression" is read out (ST5 step).

In addition, the Internet processor 34 transmits a message to inform the controller 14 of the television receiver that the telephone number is notified with the read name of the " songsiksik " A guide message informing that the call is received to the receiver, for example, the message “Call to Songhaksik” is outputted to the OSD subtitle (step ST6).

On the other hand, if no signal is detected through the designated receiver code detector 31 while the ring signal is detected in step ST4, the Internet processor 34 controls the OSD generator 33 through the controller 14 to indicate that a call has been made. Only the guide message is controlled to be displayed as the OSD subtitle (ST7 step).

That is, according to the above embodiment, if a designated recipient code is dialed when dialing, the designated receiver code is detected while receiving an incoming signal through a trunk line, and the designated receiver code is detected when the designated recipient code is detected. The recipient will be shown on the screen the call.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the said Example, It can variously deform and implement within the range which does not deviate from the technical summary of this invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, a method for displaying a designated receiver in an Internet television receiver configured to send and designate a receiver at a calling party, and to receive and display the designated receiver on the screen. The device can be realized.
