Abstract

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of displaying power consumption of a video device by calculating a power consumption amount according to beam intensity, sound intensity, and screen brightness at predetermined time intervals while driving the video device, and storing the power consumption in a memory. And extracting and displaying power consumption from the memory when the power display mode is called.

As described above, the present invention calculates the amount of power consumption according to the brightness of the screen and the intensity of the voice at predetermined time intervals, and displays the amount of power consumption on the CRT according to the user's request, thereby providing the amount of power actually used to the user. can do.

Description

How to display power consumption of video equipment {METHOD FOR DISPLAYING POWER CONSUMPTION IN A DISPLAYING TOOLS}

The present invention relates to a video device, and more particularly to a method for displaying power consumption of the video device.

Video and audio data stored on recording media such as video tapes, DVDs, etc. are extracted using a VTR, DVD or VCD playback device, and the extracted data is an image device connected to the playback device, such as an LCD, CRT or It is displayed by the PDP and the like.

The power of these imaging devices is indicated on the product's external label in the form of the product of the maximum voltage (V) and current (I) consumed by the product's power supply using measurement equipment from outside the product. For example, when the input voltage is 220V, the maximum current 0.5A has a power amount of 110 watts.

However, as described above, the conventional method for displaying the amount of power of an imaging device has a disadvantage in that it displays only the maximum amount of power on an external label and does not display the amount of power according to the use of the imaging device.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem, and calculates power consumption according to beam intensity, sound intensity, and screen brightness at preset time intervals, and displays the power consumption using an OSD according to a user's power consumption display request. The present invention provides a method for displaying power consumption of an imaging device that can provide a user's convenience.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a power consumption display method of the video device, the power consumption for each sound intensity, screen brightness is set, the intensity of the beam at a predetermined time interval during the driving of the video device, Computing the amount of power consumption according to the intensity of the sound and the brightness of the screen, and storing the amount of power consumption in the memory, and extracting and displaying the amount of power consumption in the memory when the user calls the power consumption display mode.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a general video device.

Referring to FIG. 1, a video device includes a signal receiver 100, an audio processor 101, an image processor 102, a microcomputer 103, an audio output unit 104, an image output unit 105, and a memory 106. ), The external power consumption meter 107 and the power supply 108.

Such an imaging device detects power consumption by beam intensity, sound intensity, and screen brightness by using an external power consumption meter 107 during manufacturing.

First, the microcomputer 103 controls the audio output unit 104 to adjust the intensity of the sound intensity to a minimum, and then controls the image output unit 105 to change the beam current from the minimum to the maximum step by step, and the external power consumption meter 107 calculates the amount of power consumption supplied from the power supply unit 108 according to the brightness change of the screen and stores it in the memory 106.

Next, the microcomputer 103 controls the image output unit 104 to minimize the beam current, and controls the audio output unit 104 to change the intensity of the sound intensity step by step from the minimum to the maximum, and to measure the external power consumption. 107 calculates the amount of power consumption supplied from the power supply unit 108 according to the change in the size of the sound and stores it in the memory 106.

As described above, the imaging apparatus calculates the amount of power consumption according to the change amount of the video and audio output using the external power consumption meter 107 and stores the amount of power consumption in the memory 106.

A power consumption display process of the video device having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 2. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of displaying power consumption of an imaging apparatus according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, first, when a user watches an arbitrary broadcast using a video device (S200), the microcomputer 103 may output an audio output unit 104 based on the image brightness and power consumption for each voice intensity stored in the memory 106. ) And the amount of power consumed according to the current sound intensity and the brightness of the image from the image output unit 105 and stored in the memory 106 (S202, S204).

Thereafter, the microcomputer 103 determines whether the preset time has elapsed (t = n?), And if the preset time has elapsed, returns to step S202 and proceeds to a later step, and the user does not pass the preset time. Calls the power consumption display mode, the power consumption stored in the memory 106 is retrieved and displayed on the CRT (S206, S208, S210).

Here, the microcomputer 103 processes the amount of power consumption drawn out from the memory 106 by using an OSD or the like and displays it on the CRT.

As described above, the present invention calculates the amount of power consumption according to the brightness of the screen and the intensity of the voice at predetermined time intervals, and displays the amount of power consumption on the CRT according to the user's request, thereby realizing the amount of power consumed by the user. Can be provided.
